The Premier League is hated. 10:51 - Aug 16 with 5998 viewsSnipper

I’ve been chatting to various work colleagues who support different Championship teams, ie, QPR, Fulham, Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday etc....... and with the exception of one Brentford fan, all of them have said that they don’t want to be in the Premier League. We pretty much all hate it with a passion.

I know if we win enough games we’ll end up back there, but I’d only want us there to bank the money and reduce our debt. There’s no enjoyment whatsoever going into a league season hoping to finish 17th.

Some of the people at work who actually go to matches in the Premier League understand where we’re coming from. It’s the tossers who support Man Utd, Man City or Liverpool, and who’ve never been to see them play who think we’re talking rubbish.

Who else has noticed this 'game day' sh** they seem to have introduced this season. Thanks to them every day is a game day isn't it!

This.I've said it before etc etc. But not too long in the future Real Football supporters will be viewed as oddballs like today's civil war enactors.

A bottle of champagne is ready to be uncorked at Chez CamberleyR for the day that the 'big six' do us all a favour and fúck off and go and play in their European Super League and then the top division can go back to being the competitive division it used to be.

Many Derby fans felt the same way and weren't too disappointed that they lost in the play-off final.
Unless you gamble, successfully, like Wolves did, promotion to the PL is a poisoned chalice - football wise. Great for the money men, provided you don't blow all the PL dosh on silly transfer fees and sky-high wages.

In our case, should it happen, I'd like to see us invest heavily in the training ground and a new stadium before blowing £100m+ on players.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

I’m on a Premier League blackout. Don’t want to know anything. That means no MOTD, no Sky Sports, no newspapers, nuffink.

In fact, that can be applied to all of football. I just go here for all my news (including ‘politics’).

If it ain’t QPR, it ain’t coming in.

Well , I am a "breath of fresh air" then!

Grew up in South Africa and started supporting QPR around 1986 when I read in a typed 'The Cure' newsletter that Robert Smith was a Cure fan. Wegerle (born South African) on the books gave me a double connection and I haven't supported anyone else since then. Now live in The Netherlands and remember walking in Amsterdam when the news came through that we beat Sheffield Wednesday away and won promotion back to the Championship.

Only seen us live ONCE, away at Newcastle, Mark Hughes' first game in charge. :(

Thinking about coming over to London one of these days with my kids to see us play at home...

I hate to say it but are we not in the position where we are hoping to finish 21st or above our selfs?
The championship is fast becoming epl2 where most clubs know they will never play in the champions league but they want the riches of getting bummed by salah Kane and co .

Even if they all faked off to the EURO SUPER LEAGUE FOR GAME DAY 3 , there would always be a Leeds or some other self entitled bunch who would want to join the party

A little corner of The Netherlands is blue and white! Respect to you!

"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."

Typo.... QPR fan obviously. In later interviews he said he hated football now. And he once said he was a pretty decent midfielder himself.

I took my 12-year old to London in May and he LOVED it. His favorite city in the world. RAF museum was the highlight. Only game we could get tickets for, was Fulham-Newcastle ... but its so damn easy to take a 7am flight from Amsterdam and return the same evening. Easy to do an in-out just for a short walk-around, QPR game and then back home... we'll see how the weekend schedules open up, but I really want to do this.

Speaking with a couple of Wolves season ticket holders last week and they are loving it. The club have a structure and appear to be moving in the right direction - what the Europa will do is anyone's guess, but they are a happy bunch at the moment. The chairman sticks £500 behind the bar at home and away games so the fans can have a pie and a pint on the club. They are not going to win the "best league in the world" but they had a rather good time last season and, as I say, on the whole, are enjoying their time.

It's still s hit though.
