Relegation run in 22/23 ** Now a Wolves free zone**

Is Leeds the biggest city with only 1 team? Definitely works in their favour.

According to the Major Towns and Cities dataset, perhaps surprisingly over half of the largest 20 cities in England and Wales have only one PL/EFL club:

Leeds
Leicester
Bradford
Cardiff
Coventry
Hull
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
Plymouth
Derby
Southampton
Reading
Wolverhampton
 
Yeah meant to put Liverpool in there.
We stack up quite well outside of those teams although most of our success was over 60 years ago. 4 top league titles, 4 FA cups, 2 league cups.
3 league titles should’ve been 5 only for final balls ups in 47 & 60.
With ourselves you can’t ignore the pioneering attitude of the club in the early 50’s and playing sides from all over Europe also.
 
Also should have had a European trophy. I still bear a grudge against Spurs and I wasn’t born until two weeks later.
 
Does highlight you could have PL1 and PL2 two divisions of and no one would look out of place.

Take Tony’s leave PL 1 and PL 2 would be
Blackburn
Ipswich
Bolton
Portsmouth
Burnley
Palace
Brighton
Middlesbrough
Southampton
Birmingham
Cardiff
Swansea
Bristol City
Preston
Fulham
Charlton
Coventry
Watford
Luton
QPR
Huddersfield would be in your PL2. 3 league titles.
 
Yep I watch a lot of old highlights from the side of the early 70’s 1 league cup doesn’t do them justice.
Between 70-74 finished 4th, 5th won the league cup, UEFA cup runners up, FA Cup SF and League Cup SF.
 
Personally I like the current PL it’s a blend of traditional clubs and smaller well run clubs in it.
I’ve said it before only 6-7 clubs know they’re place in the PL is definitely secure the rest of us know that we’re just a bit of bad look away from relegation. You’re never established just a case of being there a long time. Saints are going down after an 11 year stay.

I was gutted, thought Wolves would go on from there to dominate English and European football, kids eh.

I really hope Everton join them… been top flight since 1957 if I remember right… and their only fan I know is a right fucking cunt…
 
I have dreamed of them going all season. Leicester are letting the side down and giving them an out. Shame.
 
Southampton officially gone.

One down, two to go
 
Will fancy their chances of a straight jump back.
Welcome to the forum.

I'm not so sure as there will be an exodus of anyone remotely "decent" (looking at JWP) and then they have a load of kids who will find the Championship very unforgiving. Wouldn't begrudge them a run at immediate promotion back to the Prem though
 
Lavia and Alcaraz I think will go. I genuinely worry that some of their defense may just be permanently broken now (poor Kyle Walker-Peters has been smoked so many times this year).
