Still cant believe Arsenal have only ever won the league cup twice, especially since they have won like a gazillion FA cups! Even Leicester have more league cups than Arsenal.....

Says the man who's club was just as much a yo-yo club as us, Sunderland, West Ham and West Brom until the Abramovic millions elevated them into the buy a trophy brigade and extended the fan base to the borders of Northamptonshire ... I'm old enough to recall attendances regularly below 20k at the Bates Motel ;)

And despite that we still had more trophies than you pre-2003.

Much as I dislike Chelsea this isn’t really true given they’ve been in the top division for the last 35 years and for the vast majority of their existence.

I dont even know why he went in on Chelsea. Guess he thought my comment was a dig at Leicester...it was a dig at Arsenal! Given the stature of the two clubs (and Arsenal are undeniably, immeasurably bigger than Leicester) it was a surprise that Leciester had won more League cups....if anything I was bigging up Leicester, but Fosse is a special case.....lol

yo-yo club <laugh>
 
Chelsea got relegated via a play-off iirc, I think they should bring back 18th going into a play-off and dropping 6th in championship from it. Should do it this season really.

Ive always liked the idea of the 18th placed team playing the 3rd placed Championship team in a play off for a prem position. Seems fairer to me than possibly a 6th placed champ team getting it.
Your way sounds even better though I have to say, letting the 18th placed prem team try earn their place back.....

Far more fun would be 15th-18th in the Prem going into a playoff for the final relegation spot. Give clubs bumbling along in 16th but miles clear of the relegation zone a reason to get above 15th. Spurs were able to just sack off the league entirely last season and there’s always a Palace/Fulham type who get to the last five games with nothing to play for.

I always fancied going to Seville, might do it one day. Think last time I had the idea was in summer one year, and NSIS said don't because of the temps.

Do it mate. Don't put these things off and one day regret not doing them <ok>
