Im sorry but bournemouth in the premier league is just sad really. Its a fairytale for themselves but a team with a 10,000 capacity stadium... It shouldnt really be in the top flight.

The problem is a lot of big clubs are in the championship due to incompetence. Teams like forest, leeds, aston villa, derby, sheff wed, ipswich, birmingham etc etc. I could keep going on. Big teams who when they were in the premier league went for it. Went for ballsy signings. Spent money. Wanted to break into the top ten.

Meanwhile in the premier league you have stoke city, west brom, bournemouth, watford, swansea...some of the teams with the smallest attendances btw...are merely happy to survive. They dont spend a lot. They develop nasty defensive little sides, they collect their huge tv money and never really spend it...they develop a sort of hybrid mid table side.

Its why people are turning off.

The premier league consists of 6 teams who are trying to win the league.

The rest are just happy to keep drawing and ticking the points up to 40.

It doesnt make good viewing! Its so horrifically boring

Spot on Vince!

Just the 20,195 watching a League One match at Bramall Lane this afternoon!
