    Sheffield - Luton - Burnley

    Such is the huge gap now in quality of the Premier - these three clubs will come straight down.

    Newcastle ripped Sheffield to shreds today with one touch football, slick passing and ruthless finishing! All of which we lack!

    Luton are clearly out of their depth!

    Burnley supporter doing brick work on our house and I said what’s O’Shea like? His reply was ****e!

    Leicester look to walk away with the championship and Leeds will start to come good!

    Are we better than Luton - Sheffield and Burnley. Clearly not so the gap is getting wider!!

    All three of those sides are garbage.

    They remind me of our side in our first year in the Prem.

    Sky and the Premier League have ruined football for supporters and it is only going to get worse. Most of the players, especially in the Premier League, come across as unpleasant individuals and the football programmes, live and highlights, are full of bullish!t, often spouted by illiterates.

    Difficult not to agree with you. The rot started with Sky and big money has ruined the game in so many ways. You will get odd examples like Brentford or Brighton doing ok on a comparative shoe string through good recruitment/management but as regards the premiership now clubs really do need to have billionaire owners to be able to successfully compete.

    Hate the Premiership, the plastic fans, VAR and all the dross that comes with it, Sky and their underwhelming ‘pundits’ have killed the game, give me the Championship and the lower leagues any day

    The championship is a better league. Not much to like about the Premiership now. Our main target this season should be Championship survival and New ownership. New ownership being the all important thing. We’re not going anywhere without it.

    Thought the same the other day, and, remember, Burnley walked the Championship last season.

    I thought too many people fell for the aura of Kompany being their manager last season and that then made Burnley automatically brilliant and to be feared.

    I’ve seen nothing this season to suggest he’s any sort of genius as a coach, choosing to sign O’Shea and trying to play out from the back with such limited players is reminiscent of Corberan.

    The more boring Dyche style of play with four at the back is a far more pragmatic way for these sorts of sides to play.

    O’Shea is proving me right every time I’ve seen him play, I’ve rarely seen a centre back get his blood twisted as much as he does, he looks positionally lost so many times during a game that it’s embarrassing.

    Agreed, my point was that it really emphasizes the huge gap between the two leagues - when Burnley walked it last season.

    And, totally in agreement about O”Dear…
