Southampton
Villa
Wolves
West Brom
Leicester
Derby
Forest
Sheff Wed
Leeds
Man Utd
Man City
Everton
Liverpool
Newcastle

We are probably of a similar young age as I can't really think of any of those to take out,
Maybe Ipswich for Wolves, as they were big in the 80s but that's being picky.

 

[Paxman II]

I'd remove Leicester, Wolves and QPR for Sunderland, Sheff.Utd and Fulham

 

[Otis]

Rochdale
Walsall
Swindon
Crewe
Mansfield
Notts County
Chesterfield
Shrewsbury
Hartlepool
Southend
Northampton
Peterborough
Cambridge
Oxford
Charlton
Oldham
Fleetwood
Morecambe
Blackpool
Doncaster

We will still probably lose every week, but at least we might have a fighting chance of finishing 4th from bottom.

Yeah probably about right, I might swap Ipswich or Norwich for wolves though.

The same but the three highlighted changes

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's an idealist thing really. Never really enjoyed playing Norwich or Ipswich.

 

[olderskyblue]

Drop Everton off that list fp, and put anybody else in...

I couldn't have Norwich in either. In 1989 I ended up with 34 Bryan Gunn swapsies that I couldn't shift and never liked them since.

 

[shmmeee]

CCFC
Arsenal
Man Utd
Liverpool
Everton
West Ham
Southampton
Sheffield Utd
Norwich
Spurs
Newcastle
Sunderland
Man City
Ipswich
V**a (for the rivalry, they'd come 4th from bottom every season)
Wolves
Birmingham
Swansea
Bournemouth
West Brom

Lots of rivaries, no non traditional big money clubs (bar Man City, who are there for the Manchester rivalry, but I'd take all their money away). Reasonable representation from across the country, token Taff. Only three London clubs, cos fuck em.

 

[fernandopartridge]

This top flight would have no TV deals and there would be one live match broadcast per week on terrestrial TV.

Would have to be Ipswich, Cooper, Mills,Muhren, Tjison, Brazil, Beattie, Wark, Talbot, Marriner Gates, Butcher etc
Brilliant side under Bobby Robson, were very unfortunate not too win 2 or 3 league titles in that era.

This is either a Carlsberg or M&S top flight.

It feels like footy will never be as good as it used to be but just inagine the buzz if cov were back in prem. It would be amazing.

 

[Travs]

To be absolutely honest, I had more fun when we were in the 2nd division. Maybe that's because of my age, we were relegated just after my 19th birthday, so spent my early 20's travelling round the championship grounds, but there were some great rivalries... Leicester, Wolves, Leeds, Portsmouth, Forest, etc... And some great away trips to the likes of Barnsley, Blackburn, Blackpool, Sheffield, Norwich...

I'd be just as happy to see us back in the championship. Certainly wouldn't be interested paying 40-50 quid a game in the Premier League...

 

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

Maybe swap Southampton for Birmingham but otherwise your list looks ok to me FP. A good mix of the big hitters, local derbies and some interesting away grounds

 

[Brylowes]
