Gribz 826 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Still IMO the most competitive and exciting league there is. Having the play offs certainly helps this. From Leeds up, any team can still get promotion. Not sure what West Ham are doing lately, 5 draws on the bounce. I did fancy Reading at start of the season to go up, that McDermott is a manager in the making. Southampton have pulled it together after a sticky patch and after West Hams poor run they would be nuts if they didnt go up. Still have a sneaky feeling Chris Hughton will take Birmingham up via the play offs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It would be a stroke of genius if Poyet too Brighton up after only just being promoted to the Championship. They might not last long in the EPL, but it would be interesting to see them go up! Cracking new stadium they've got too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup seems to happen more like Norwich last season and Southampton are almost up. I was watching a video and wondered what the fuss about Brightons stadium was all about, it looked like lego land then the camera changed angle and there was this 3 tier stand.... West Ham, Southampton and Leeds going up would be good for the Premier League. 2 and a half huge teams. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I remember when I was staying in Holland, I used to watch that Football league show when it newly hit the airwaves, and the thing I got from it, besides watching a huge amount of ex-SPL players was that there seemed not to be the razamatz of the ELP. They all looked like decent, honest players, playing the game for the games sake. Even in the leagues further down, 1 and 2 were not too bad and good to watch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a massive stadium, but it's really smart and well designed. It's been built to be easily expandable to about 35k seater as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Unlucky day for West Ham Gribz! Southampton promoted, so it's play-off time for your English team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,670 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The play offs are always exciting. West Ham Cardiff and Blackpool Birmingham is it? Bit ironic if Birmingham went up and Villa got relegated from the PL although it looks a long shot 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
