Unreal isn't, lStoke blowing top European teams away interms of money offered, it's crazy how far we have come. I remember getting excited when we signed Sambegou Bangoura. How times have changed huh ?

I think there is a lot of arrogance and one upmanship on this board regarding our current position. Obviously people with short memories or too young to remember where we came from. Today, Vale and Crewe don't have the money or good fortune that we have and have to manage with what they've got to merely survive. Pope was from all accounts on a contract at Vale that consumed a very large percentage of their wage bill and it was unsustainable. I think Vale's chairman/owner has made mistakes along the steep learning curve that he has had to take but what people shouldn't lose sight of is the fact that he saved their club from extinction and that he has far better financial acumen than 99.5% of supporters of football clubs. Basically, Pope, on the wages he was on, was a luxury they just could not afford and the Smurf should be applauded for doing his best to ensure the Vale can continue to survive in a very difficult environment. There but for the Grace, etc., etc. Vale are not our rivals, they are just another team representing our great city. We should be looking to help them by loaning out our up and coming players, with massive mutual benefits. If the roles were reversed do you think they would have any sympathy for us ? They'd all be laughing their tits off. I know we haven't played them since 2002 but I'd still class them as rivals and my hatred for them is still here.

"I think a club with crowds like ours deserves premier league football". the Delusion is strong in this one.

The game after that is also Arsenal away I think? Hopefully we should have racked up enough points by then. Yes - second game in January is away to Arsenal. Certainly is a tough run: 9 games of which 7 are against sides that will be in the top 6 come the end of the season. Strange that we play both Arsenal and Man Utd home and away in such a short period of time. Its a conspiracy i tell you !!

I'd bet a testicle that if a random generator gave the top six playing each other over the first six weeks, they'd just click "refresh" and we'd never ever hear about it. That would be intresting to see.

Seems earlier than usual! How do they do it these days, is there any random element at all or are they constructed? Would be interesting to see the permutations and combinations that go into the system. They have to be split for policing (i.e. Man Utd and City cannot play on the same day) but other than that I assume they are random. Im thinking they'll have sort it out with the football league as well. Cant be having two teams in the same city playing at home.

To be fair theres quite a few reasonable posts on there. Most are decent folk, but for some reason they can't see the truth in front of their eyes; there are issues at their club. They're going have spend big this summer thats for sure. Look at there squad now and it looks pretty thin , then they have the loans going back as well. It could well be a 30Million job to repair that shower of shit. But do they the funds to do it ?

The amount of points they got suggests that they're one of the best teams to ever get promoted from the Championship. Reading went up with 100+ points one year and finished in the top half of the Premiership the next season. Not saying Leicester will do that, but I'm sure they'll be competitive- as will Burnley. Didnt know that you learn something new every day. They will be competitive but i just hate the arrogance that they "belong in the premiership"
