Prem Update


Luton fan in peace said:
I was asked on this board if I'd still post after we lost four/five games. So here goes;

The Prem League is light years above the Championship. Sounds obvious but the quality live is so different from watching on Sky. I'm a passionate Luton fan but also a passionate football fan.

Watching the likes of Mitoma, Bowen, Sterling etc has been strangely enjoyable. The huge difference though is the quality of defending. Prem League defenders are like 200m sprinters, built like brick shithouses with superb tactical nous.

The downside though is the complete lack of atmosphere. I sat in Brighton and Fulham end for our recent away games. It was full of tourists who spent more time on their phones than watching the game. Chelsea was the same apparently.

Still loving it though and looking forward to tomorrow.

Great start for yourselves as well. Seems you have added well to the squad and only lost one loan player. Your squad seems far stronger this season, which you need during the slog of March/April//May. Best of luck.

Finally, one lad on here is a Hertha fan. We went last weekend. What a stadium and what an atmosphere.

I'm not coming on here for an argument. I'm not knocking the Championship as I love the competiveness of the division. I'm also under no illusions we will be back there next season.

However, the Premier is a huge step up. Your comment about 'style of play' is far off the mark as well.

Disagree, you need to adjust playing the direct, rely on brute strength approach and you simply haven't. It's not light years ahead, I watch it regularly, there's a lot of over-rated, average players in the league and too many clubs failing to achieve value for money with their transfer dealings.

You need to start planning for the Championship next season. Can’t deny your style of play is effective at a certain level but you’ll not cut it with that in the Prem mate.

Been to the Olympic Stadium to watch Hertha. Some stadium that with an amazing history.

Looking at the signings they made, it's clear they were already planning for life in the Championship the second the full time whistle blew at Wembley.

I don’t think they will, I think they are doing the right thing taking the cash and accepting relegation.

If they do that without any intention of staying up and keeping costs low just for PL money then they should be stripped of parachute payments. It’s a form of cheating that if you ask me.

When we do get back we might have to do the same thing first season.

I could not disagree more with that mate. With the squad and facilities we have I think we’ll do okay. Of course might need a couple of additions.

We will see, Burnley walked the league and I thought they would do ok. Early days yet, but not a great start. Forest spent a fortune and just stayed up, but what are they aspiring to, staying up every year like Everton?

Suppose we could aspire to be a Brentford or Brighton, who’d have thought a Sunderland supporter would say that?

I think the premier league has got so greedy it’s about to consume itself.
