    The divide between the PL and Championship continues to grow, when it used to be Div 1,2,3,4 and before the days of Sky TV it was a lot closer.

    Look at us when we last got promoted to the top flight, we went up found our feet and one season later won the Championship.

    Take five teams; either half of Manchester, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool - Apart from those teams there will not be another winner of the PL within the next 15 years. Take those 5 and throw in the likes of Spurs maybe Newcastle and Everton and your top 8 teams are also sorted for the foreseeable future.

    Ristac great points mate, and makes sense when you think that for years we've all been talking about the prem having 3 divisions, because it just has, and didn't some university geek come up with a formula for showing how many millions a team would need to spend to move from the 3rd division prem to the 2nd division of the prem and then multiply that by a factor of 14 to move from 2nd didvision prem to top 6 in the prem. Look how much spuds spent to get into it guaranteed (£121m in the summer) In other words, like you say its impossible for anyone outside a select group to win it. So the top 6 on paper have a 6/1 chance of winning it and Hull have 2,000/1 chance

    Well - I reckon that 3 draws and 2 wins equals just about 9 points - what do you make it Glory?

    If you say so Tommy. Personally, I think with BMD now in charge and the club getting stronger, there's every chance we'll leave the much vaunted Millwall Express in our wake.

    Pity:cheesy: It's a pity that your lot forgot how to make a game of it - half of them weren't up for it from the moment the first whistle went.....bottle went!
