Fair play to them for finally doing it in the end but it was only down to other teams gifting it to them, terrible league.

If Villa had not scored, our points total would have been the highest for a runner-up since the Championship was founded in 2004 and probably even longer without looking into it.
 
Some journo on talkshite earlier said, for the money they've spent, they should be embarrassed they needed a last minute goal from a match that had nothing to do with to go up as champions. They should have walked it by 10/15 points.

It's easy to say that though isn't it? As though the only thing that matters is how much money a club spends. When my boat comes in, I'm going to buy Hartlepool football club, plus all the most expensive players in the world to come and play for them. We should win the Premier league within five years if money is all that matters. Hold this space...

Too many ifs in that statement you stinking unwashed magpie c***
 
You just know that the fudwinkle who painted that up was cackling away to himself as he did the gloss, positively cried with laughter as he applied the little badge stickers (no two facing the same way) and shouted for someone to come see as he finished up using his kids stencils to write 'relagated' hoping for some major kudos from his backwards brethren

:lol:

One? Good you addressed my point that it is utter twaddle about it being a terrible league though.

It would have been the highest ever points total for a runner up btw.

So what? It's a shit league that you all told us you would walk. You only won it because Brighton did their best Devon Loch impression
We once got relegated on 40 points. So what? Means fuck all

Show me where I said that?

The hardest it's ever been and if it's a 'shit league' you shouldn't have any problem next season.
 
Would Newcastle have done as well if you had spent the average amount by Championship clubs, probably around £10-£15M?

If we'd have kept players instead of selling them? Aye.

Good of you to move the goalposts on your point though as you don't have an answer to why Aaron Villa (the divisions highest spenders) aren't Champions if where talking about spend...

Because they wasted it and changed managers. Your expenditure has been a massive part of your success. That is all credit to Mike Ashley for backing the manager but if you are suggesting that spending £55M on players this season has not been a massive part of your success, regardless of profligacy of Villa, then I think you are being less than honest. I would expect most clubs to get promoted spending those sums on players even if Villa have blown it. With Bruce there and that squad I would think they'll be one of the favourites for next year.
