The road not taken

So league football is over again and the ups and downs are all decided.

The Premiership has lost WBA, 'Boro and Newcastle. It has gained Wolves, Birmingham & Burnley. That doesn't make it stronger, merely a bit more nostalgic for those who remember Burnley and Wolves battling it out for the League title. While Stoke and Hull (just) survived, they will form, together with the three promoted teams and Sunderland (unless they inject lots of cash and employ a good manager), Portsmouth (please) and Bolton the bottom third of the table. It could be a bumper relegation battle next season!!

The Championship will have the three relegated teams, Sheff Utd, Leicester, QPR (world's richest club???), Reading and Cardiff. When you bear in mind that any team in it could beat any other team, it could be a far closer league than the Premier League.


 

As for League One well that has at least four teams in it who were recently in the Premier league!


 

Roll on August!
