Seeing how well Brentford, Forest,Brighton Palace, Bournemouth ,villa,Fulham have done in the premier last season and how poor some of the big team did is making the premier league more appealing to watch.

Good news about boxing day we can enjoy our Christian beliefs without the worry of football 😂

They’ve certainly come out with some doozies recently like Arteta claiming they were the best team in the competition right after they’d just been knocked out of the competition losing both legs of their semi-final, and fans pointing out how many points they got last season after Liverpool had won the league this season, far ahead of Arsenal.

No EFL games on Boxing Day apparently

Trigs lol just find them insufferable as a club and fan base in general. Actually one of my best mates is an Arsenal fan too and I enjoy winding him up.

Changing man, does that include School sports days where everyone's a winner

Why the arse with Arsenal, Hash?

Watch every goal from our promotion season... Nice complilation, but why aren't Mikey T's commentaries on it?

I enjoy watching the prem if Arsenal lose. I'd like us to get to the prem and do the double over Arsenal. We can lose the other 36 games.

Aideen, exactly that. Sport is nothing without ambition and hope. I'm all for doing things in the right manner but I want to support a professional football club, not a social movement

Charlton's MD just said (according to Richard Cawley on Twatter) that it's still the silly season transfer wise, and it will start getting real in the next week or two

Let's be honest - if we ever got within a sniff of the Premier League, 99% of our fans would be relishing it

I found watching L1/L2 games on TV as neutral tended to result in me doing something else instead.

Have to say, I like to see the odd game on the PL, however, despite its introduction on Sky+ the L1&L2 saw me migrate to those games when we weren't involved and watch more of our rivals in particular. To me at least, it added a bit of wonder into how we'd tackle certain threats when it was our time to face them.

I’ve seen some outstanding prem games this year , but I dont care if we never get there (but we have to dream right? Otherwise what’s the point?)

A closed-shop Premier League would kill the EFL. Ambition is the fuel that drives English professional football.

I certainly don't like to see the 3 promoted teams get smacked back down as heavily as happened last season. The pyramid needs to offer honest chances to clubs getting promoted. Sure some will have punched above their weight and get punched back down, but if it becomes impossible to stay in the Premier League then the pyramid has something of an existential crisis on its hands and I would suggest at that point the EFL breaks away from the Premier League and The Championship becomes the top flight.

Our heavily Christian 'evil rich Judas owner betrayal and subsequent resurrection' creation story means we're always going to see the Premier League as Babylon, an empire of sin.

There's plenty not to like about the PL, but a good top flight game is very enjoyable to witness. Especially if a team you don't like is on the receiving end.

I still watch plenty of Premier League football. It has its ups and downs in quality but you can’t deny they’ve made a decent global product there. It’s nice to see some clubs trying to play attacking football these days rather than the dirge of tiki taka.

Funny how nobody likes the Prem but we take 5000 to Chelsea and 2500 to Newcastle on a Monday night. 🤷‍♂️

Is that 5 x 1.0.wins 10x 0.0 draws and 31 defeats 25 points and relegation?

Morning all. I reckon as well we'll play every other team in L1 twice.

My prediction for the fixture list is we'll get 23 home games. Some on Saturdays, some in midweek and some bank holidays. I think we'll probably get plenty of away games too.

That’s it we’ve made it we’re finally here - one week to go til the fixture list is out.
