Premier or Championship
Wed Apr 03, 2019 11:27 am
Given the results this week i think we are all starting think there is more than a chance that we could be back in the Championship next season. I have always debated whether it was best to be a big fish in the Championship or small fry in the Premier, there is a bit of me in both camps.
For a number of years we have been a big fish in the championship and enjoyed a good deal of success, however had I asked that question after our relegation 5 years ago I would have said Championship every time. I am some what in a quandary at this point in time, having made a good fist of this time, the battle shown by the boys in blue and enjoyed having all the better teams down here (not all the scorelines though) for us to pit our wits against them. I also miss the cut and thrust of the championship.
I dont know what i want, maybe the best of both worlds, if I had a wish of another team environment maybe the Watford experience looks very good from here.

Unless clubs aim to play at the highest possible level then the whole point is a bit questionable !
Surely a team aims to win every game, if you win every game you are successful.
Why would we get to the highest level and then want to go back down ? There are frustrations in the Prem and even last time I felt that the big clubs got the decisions but our team has grown this season and if we had started the season playing like we have done recently (Everton and Watford aside !!) then I don't think we would actually be in the relegation zone right now.
Put it this way, if we beat Palace at home to confirm staying up I have a feeling that the pitch invasion will be up there with Reading last year and that tells it's own story.

Easy for me the premier league, I will always want us to win every game possible and in turn play at the highest level possible.

The longer you last in the Premier the more powerful you can become from each season’s riches but I’ve always liked the Championship as I think there’s nothing better than watching football under floodlights something you rarely get in this league.
