Aye ok.
 
HEIGH HO!!!!

Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho,
It's down the leagues we go,
But we've got Rafa,
And he's our gaffer,

Best suggestion for the last line wins relegation for the team of their choice:D
 
'Dwarfication' - actually defines what has just happened to Newcastle United in terms of their significance to British football.
The sooner they accept that league status depends on your performance on the pitch, the happier they will all be.
Well done Burnley I say. How refreshing to welcome a modest, honest and historic club back into the top flight. Long may it continue.
 
:lol:

So a few "big" clubs buy shite and go down because of it and it's abnormal?! Wtf? It's happened for eons. Just look at some of the teams that have dropped out!

They really are hurting badly and trying to big the Championship up to be some kind of Elite league full of ex big boy teams fighting tooth and nail to get out. Funny that, cos when we went down to it every other year they pronounced it was a shit league that no fucker cared about bar the teams in it, and they were right.

The Spaniard is a world-class manager

clown denial....
a new psychological term, where the patient is so far removed from reality, they think theyre right and everybody else is wrong.... the clowns
 
I read a bit n got sick of reading shit and drivel. In no country in any world or universe or any form of existence is the 2nd league better than the 1st. They are dead from the neck up. Nobody is steering the brain for fucks sake
 
I'm sure a few months ago the chronicle printed an article saying going down would be a disaster.

You keep making the mistake of believing football existed before the Premier League.
 
The Chronicle are at the forefront of this shite, but it's the less intelligent mags who take it & spread it as fact.

Has anybody bothered to compile bookmarks of the articles since May. Perfect responses to shut any daft black & whiter up.
