Why not Forest, I’ve watched them this season and they play good football under Cooper plus there fans are great I think maybe next year they'll be ready to come the Premier league. What tends to happen is some teams tend to go on a lucky run one year but then fade the next. If they can reach for the top next year then I don't see why they can't make the cut for the Premier league. Similar to Brentford they were consistent for a few years and now they have their reward. Very true, look at the 3 teams that are about to go back down, Watford, Norwich and Leeds. The PL is a very demanding league, and although these clubs enjoy some of the revenue from Sky Sports, few would attract players of a calibre that will want to join them if no European football of any flavour. For years, I watched Brentford getting their heart broken as teams inconsistent but lucky beat them in playoffs and went up... Middlesbrough springs to mind in the 2014 playoffs, IIRC. I'd like to see Ipswich back, but I'd forgotten about Forest

That would be true if Forest did go on a lucky run but outside of Fulham, they've been the next best team since Cooper took over. They were 24th when Cooper took over despite having one of the best squads in the division and he took them to within a whisker of 2nd and automatic promotion.

There's loads of examples to use from previous seasons where teams have come up after going through a serious run in the championship or making the playoffs and then they do a Derby County from 2008

I think with Forest the aim is if they make the Premier league it's to stay up for at least 2 or more seasons for them to be taken seriously. The likes of Brighton, Crystal Palace etc got promoted they ensured that they did what they can to stay up.

The Bees getting Eriksen's services was the biggest coup all season. Dirty Leeds (a perjorative from their last jaunt in the top flight) seem to struggle to keep a full working allocation like the 318 down to 10 men again, 2nd match in as many weeks. Watford are doing their Ensignbus impersonation by getting lots of coaches that everyone else has finished with Norwich should not have taken on the coach let go by Villa, thinking it would bring them any luck

What is this?

Knew we would lose because we were in a good position so enjoy your incoming 4th spot considering your fixtures are easier

So romero is out for the rest of the season There's only 2 games left, I think a couple of knocks (unless being rested due to too many fouls - he gets a yellow card every other game )

I just realised today was the day AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOO scored that fantastic goal to send the United fans into disarray. May 13th 2012 will never be forgotten.

Sadly, it happened, rather of had United win the title than a manufactured club whose owner has broke various rules in regards to financial fair play and is part of a repressive regime in the middle east.
