Premier Leagues Closed shop 11:55 - Jul 10 with 1948 views | TGRRRSSS | Here's what I think the suits, media and PL would love for their Closed Shop Wet DReam league. 1 - Arsenal 2- Man Utd 3- Liverpool 4- Man City 5- -Chelski 6 - Tottenham 7 - Leeds 8 - Aston Villa 9 -Newcastle 10 - West Ham 11 - Wolves 12 - Derby County 13 - Notts Forest 14 - Leicester 15 - Sunderland 16 - Southampton 17 - Sheff United 18 - Sheff Wed 19 - West Brom 20 - Sunderland This is my kind of idea of the sort of table they might like if they coulkd close the shop so to speak, not an opinion of who should or should not be in the PL. Also based on the kind of stuff you hear about certain clubs. Should be in PL - massive side, huge support base etc etc. This is never something they talk about with QPR - who deapite are London base don't get the London biased media darling sort of stuff others do. Just for fun/hate etc [Post edited 10 Jul 2020 11:55]

The times we have heard pundits saying "This city/this club/these fans deserve to be in the Premiership". It gets my goat and is a dumb thing to say, you should be there on merit, although FFP will now give you a helping hand by keeping the upstarts and the lesser clubs in their proper place Occasionally recently pundits have said the same things about Bristol, usually in connection with The Robins (obs). | |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

Win that and you play in the world club championship. Take away that from teams like ourselves and the game is totally finished. | |

Don't reckon the powers that be are too fussed about Leicester. And they'd definitely want Everton. | | | |

Thought about that. Talk like that could start a war on the South Coast Saints out, Pompey in.. | | | |

Not Bury or Accrington. I’ll post it next week. | | | |
Premier Leagues Closed shop on 08:57 - Jul 11 with 986 views | joe90 | Not a bad list. I'd definitely include Everton and would ditch one of the Sheffield teams and Southampton? | | | |
Premier Leagues Closed shop on 09:52 - Jul 11 with 957 views | terryb | Defiunitely Everton, they were one of the top five when I was younger! Manure, Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal, Tottenham. Luckily there is space for them as Sunderland are taking up two spaces! | | | |
Premier Leagues Closed shop on 11:31 - Jul 11 with 920 views | Mistication92 | If it was a closed shop it would be based on support and ability to expand stadiums. So that rules out the likes of WBA, Southampton. You'd see clubs doing lots of building work, knowing it's not a gamble anymore. Wolves would finish their's, Everton would finally get a new ground etc. | | | |

The problem for them is that if they were all in a European Super League, most of them would become losers in that league. That's why they need the domestic punch bag league. | |
