Prem

Far greater coverage, testing ourselves against the best, some amazing results, better NCFC players, everything really.

Preferring lower leagues is just silly, churlish. Be careful what you wish for. 1995 to 2001 and 2005 to 2008 were like football comas.

Not every season is like 10-11 FFS. They're once in a blue moon.

        Just respectfully disagreeing with maximum respect (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:13:09
        
        with respect.... (NCFC) - Tombs, Mar 5, 10:17:12
        
        e-hug. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:19:36
        
        I'm not trolling. It's cheaper and the away matches are more fun. (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Mar 5, 09:51:43

        Spack Pack. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:03:14

- yes or no with reasons (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Man, Mar 5, 09:25:09
- both (NCFC) - Tombs, Mar 5, 09:21:54
- the champs - - competing for the prize is better than winning the prize (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Mar 5, 09:20:16
  - Yes but in our last 14 Championship seasons (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:32:18
    - agreed. (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Mar 5, 09:54:39
- Prem (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:17:51
  - NOT EVERY SEASON IS LIKE 10-11 (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 09:42:07
    - No (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:51:33
      - I said most of them (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:20:04
        
        answer the question please (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 10:45:24
        
        Yes, that season (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:48:18
        
        I entered every season with hope (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 10:54:21
        
        This is becoming a largely joyless conclusion to the season (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 11:05:16
      - you thought it was a possibility in 10-11? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 10:17:21
        
        i did (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 5, 10:18:53
    - 17th (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 5, 09:44:14
      - moist (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 09:46:16
  - It's hardly "silly/churlish" if the reasons, like mine, are that it's more affordable & (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Mar 5, 09:41:30
    - Clearly you've forgotten what most of our games were like between 1995 and 2009 then. (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:49:32
      - We were dogshit but going to a ground like Hillsbrough is much more fun than (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Mar 5, 09:50:30
        
        booooom (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 5, 09:57:06
    - Agree - lower leagues are mich more fun on away days. But Prem coverage is better. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 09:42:42
      - I'm not arsed about the coverage as mainly go to all the games. Also CoD on here is more (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Mar 5, 09:44:54
  - Both have there good and bad points which are mostly obvious. (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 09:32:45
    - Swansea are in the Europa League. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:34:56
      - He did say "unlikely". I think them winning the league cup probably qualifies as that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 5, 09:37:12
        
        But it is achievable - it isn't beyond our reach (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:38:34
        
        That's probably why he wrote "unlikely" tbf. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 5, 09:55:46
        
        yep i still want us to win the champs league (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 5, 09:39:47
        
        Well obviously that will never happen (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:45:12
        
        people thought we'd never get back to back promotions (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 5, 09:47:17
      - and ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 09:36:16
        
        You need that explaining? (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:37:15
        
        Yes please. How did Swansea get into the Europa league ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 09:41:23
        
        By winning a cup we could easily have won ourselves. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:50:26
        
        We could win a cup but we dont go for it as Prem survival is seen more important. Hence (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 10:00:37
        
        This season is a weird one though (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:05:21
        
        Agree. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 5, 10:07:40
        
        However, if the next 10 seasons are like the last three months (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 10:14:13
        
        "easily" (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Mar 5, 09:53:55
        
        Semantics! (NCFC) - norway, Mar 5, 09:58:57
  - The only sad thing about the Prem is, we enter the league (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Mar 5, 09:30:17
    - still an outside chance we could get a go on another league (NCFC) - Tombs, Mar 5, 09:31:29
      - Yes, surely in the next 3/4 seasons that will be an aim? (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Mar 5, 09:38:10
        
        all aboard the ideotchariot (n/m) (NCFC) - Tombs, Mar 5, 09:46:08

    - aha, the old "lower league" snobbery (NCFC) - Tombs, Mar 5, 09:27:10
