As the opposite of 'do a Derby'?
Obviously we're not safe yet, but for the teams coming up, we will surely be held up as the example of how to do it...
1 Buy loads of players not all of whom are any good but include a good goalie and great centre half
2 Almost double your attendance average, and ensure the fan base includes many who have never seen you play in the top flight, or those who remember it dimly from 20 years ago
3 Encourage online Xbox war games
4 Thrive on other people's hate and snobbery
5 Strengthen effectively in the window
6 Beat everyone at home, especially your rivals
7 Stay up mathematically with (I reckon) 3 games to spare
This has really been a text book season, complete with mid term dip and perfectly timed late surge. Hats off to all concerned!

Nah, because Bolton and Wigan (for example) have done it before us

to elaberate on number 2.
Pretend to fork out 3 million plus break your wage cap on 2 awful internationals, before suggesting they head to a tippy-tappy-relegation-happy-yoyo club whilst you get a better goalkeeper for free.

There were plenty of minor scandals before Watergate, now they all have 'gate' tagged on, like Camillagate, Nipplegate, Smeargate etc etc So can Wolves do a Stoke? Or will Burnley do a Derby? Works for me ;D |
