[Roberto Firmino]

Think Swansea will beat Brentford.

Me too

 

[TobiOT]

Me too

Hope I'm wrong. I don't mind Swansea returning but we need a new team in the Prem.

 

[TobiOT]

Swansea should be down to 10 men.

Toney!

Question for the soccer brehs. If the bottom 3 in a league get relegated and the top 3 get promoted has there been an instance where a team was too good for one league but not good enough for the other so they just keep bouncing up and down? Or would a team who wins the championship league be good enough to stay in the premier league a couple seasons.

Some of them are, some of them not. Norwich and West Brom are a great example, too good for the Championship, too shyt for the Prem.

A manager named Neil Warnock is another example. He can get your club to Premier League, but he's odds on to send them back down and lose his job in the process.

So how does that affect rivalries? Do fans enjoy traditional rivalries or would they rather see the team move up to a better league? Couldn’t you have a situation were traditional rivalries end due to promotion?

Fans love nothing more than seeing their rivals get relegated. It’s like watching your biggest hater go to prison. That’s what I love about relegation. It’s a shame you can’t get that in other sports.

Like in basketball, you’re rewarded for failure and given a better lottery pick for the new season. Like wtf? I get that in theory, it’s to make the league fairer but it just gives an incentive for teams to tank towards the end of the season.

Imagine if Messi had to spend his first few seasons at Stoke City.

Seeing how happy Newcastle fans were delighted that Sunderland are in League 1 and how Sunderland fans were happy when they helped relegate Newcastle years before that, I'll say no to a certain degree.

But in seriousness, rival fans would like the dayout, Luton fans were probably happy Watford got relegated to the same league as them since they haven't played eachother for over 10 years.
