Norwich go up to the Prem, keep their very successful manager, keep most of a good squad, don't spend a lot before Jan and then get f**ked up the arse with a giant dildo, dry, week after week
Whereas Blackpool (who are, no disrespect, a smaller club with smaller crowds and less money) do exactly the same and are making a bloody decent fist of it. In fact they are doing EXACTLY what I thought simply could no longer be done at all, ever - a titchy backwoods club putting dents in the big boys by playing with spirit and fire, making the msot of what they've got
It's not fair. Why couldn't WE do that? And now the bastards have made me think perhaps it IS worth going up after all, because small teams CAN survive in the Prem ... and that starts the whole false hope thing and before you know it you're back on the crack cocaine
