The Championship is more fun anyway.

I understand you are kidding, but it is still worth a comment......7 winners in 10 years and another team 2nd twice..... sounds like the best league in Europe to me.

Damn you read me; was hoping for a little nibble, even had it written in white font in my post

In seriousness though I agree with you on your comments ref German league; proper league & properly run.

[MattyRangers]

You misunderstood, I meant bring on the championship where we can have normal kick off times and have 7 or 8 pints before the game, win and go and have the same again. We haven't had that many 3pm on a Saturday this year.

Will miss the publicity we get in the prem buts that it.

That it? Lightweight.

[Timmy the Doc]

Err right. It is about the most predictable league outside of Scotland and Spain. It is nothing like a competition. Top teams are light years ahead - to the point that success for the 2nd tier is the mere chance of coming fourth - to the point they sacrifice trophy chances for that "honour". How can it be competitive when we have won 4 games.....that is nothing like competitive.

As for us not being **** in the PL next season - how do you know that - nearly everyone here said the same at the end of last season.

I meant every match is a competition for us. I would guess we wouldn't be this s*** in the PL next season, as well as you believe it would be rosy in the Championship.

[Hitman34]

there's only one place to be at that's the Premiership, for that we can thank tango and cash, our troubles began when they failed to back NW in the transfer market

This old chestnut!

two can play at that game, if it wasnt for tango and cash, we would not be in the prem league.


yeah sure, its all their fault for not funding warnock even though they were selling the club.


jeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz

we bought ferdinand and bothroyd, that was going to help us establish ourselvee in the top flight, you've got a thing about Warnock that clouds your judgment

Why? We were last season.

Nope - I don't think it will be rosy in the Championship, I just thing there is a silver lining and that is that we will be in a competition rather than a procession and the league can be more fun watching your team for that reason.

[Ric-Roc]

I w
ould guess we wouldn't be this s*** in the PL next season

Didn't we say that last season?

[Hove Ranger]

In addition to the above; I doubt any / many fans that have regularly attended games over the past 2 seasons will say they have genuinely enjoyed the PL more than the Championship.

Fair point

[Shania]

When we as a club has done everything wrong in the Prem, I can understand why you locals(mostly?) enjoy the package the CC away trips seems to be.

[TW7R]

Seeing as it looks like we're pretty much gauanteed to be playing in the CCC next season, I might as well get used to it, but I'm certainly not looking forward to it.

1 maybe 2 decent seasons we had in that league, so I don't have that many fond memories.

For me I grew up watching us put teams like Spurs, Chelsea & Arsenal in their place, and just the thought of teams like Foolham, Cardiff and Wigan in a higher league leaves me completely gutted

It's easier going to away games and things what with being able to pay on the day ect, but Tuesday night freezing cold away to Burnley or Barnsley are things I hoped I wouldn't be doing again.

That's if I'm out with the mrs in the evening.

And you ain't holding any insurance.

What has given me the most satisfaction as an R's fan over the years is WINNING matches. LOSING makes me a tad peed off. It is not the end of the world but just is not a good feeling.
Since day 1 back in the prem losing 0-4 to Bolton we have thought of nothing but relegation (please tell me different). I have remained positive to the end, I hope we stay up and we still can. But if I am to be honest life back in the prem has been pretty damn miserable, I have been happy only four times this season, it get's monotonous.
So to keep things positive, being relegated would mean our chances of winning increase by at least FIVE times.
That would make me five times more happy and I reckon we will have a MIGHTY chance of coming straight back up.

[qblockoompah]

Thing I hate most about the prem is the fans of other clubs who know absolute sweet fa about football. Makes my blood boil and really not worth even entering an argument. The amount who I've annihilated throughout this season is quite embarrassing.
We will come straight back up if we go down though, no good using wolves/blackburn as examples they are horrible nothing clubs
