No - Wrath of the Barclay

No

It's reasonable to prefer winning most of your games at lower level. It's reasonable to like beating inferior teams and being a bigger fish. He's making fair points.

For me though, it's never that simple, it's a horrible inconsistent division - hence I'm happiest where we are.

- 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
