I don't like the way our top flight has gone, either.

The money has definitely ruined it and I have to say that even when we have been more competitive in the past I still haven't enjoyed it as much as I have seasons in the Championship, probably because the Championship is closer to what the top flight used to be! But despite all the above I still can't help but want us to be as good as we possibly can and that means aiming for maintaining Prem status. We just seem to go about it in an arsewise way, even when you take into account limitations imposed by lack of money.

- Premier league was brilliant under Lambert. Had a go every game (NCFC) - earlydoors, Oct 23, 18:40:17
  - I think the EPL has changed since then. There were more teams you could have a go at (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Oct 23, 18:54:13
    - One of their advantages though does seem to be our manager though (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Oct 23, 18:56:09
  - Yes and no. Ever since 2011/12, every time we've been in the PL, we've got worse (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Oct 23, 18:45:20

      - So many teams do ok for one season. Look at Sheff U. It's so difficult to sustain (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Oct 23, 18:55:14

        More fun journey though (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 23, 19:43:53
      - That's a good way of putting it. We had PTSD between 2005 and 2009 as well. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Oct 23, 18:48:55
