Tbf last season was a bit of an anomaly with two sides that had no right on paper to get promoted and a side that had no right on paper to go down going down

We’re miles ahead of the rest of the league it’s pretty embarrassing really It’s like Celtic in the SPL levels

When did they move the tv camera at ewood?

We should piss this league and that’s not being arrogant

Except when we needed them most against Everton last season

I’d argue we’d need a serious injury crisis not to finish top 2 tbh even at this stage

Villa are the third best side in the league over the last calendar year Seem to go under the radar a little still

Newcastle home in the back end of 2018/2019 was a Friday Night First taste of real Brendaball that night losing 1-0 to a crap Newcastle

Robert Earnshaw hates us doesn’t he

We’ve never taken big numbers here even in the Prem this was one we struggled to sell out

Man United fans won’t be paying anything close to that though

Seems to be a big game only standing area Was stood for Forest last season too

Cov will be nowhere near the playoffs this season

Don’t underestimate the local derby effect too They were all well up for it

He had a good game against Man City when he first came on the scene about 7 years ago now but can’t really remember anything other than that

Basically every non LCFC fan I know my age (25) puts us in that tier with Villa, West Ham, Newcastle as the non big 6 big clubs. Genuinely think sometimes neutrals see us as a bigger club than our own fanbase

Preston are bringing over 2000 here for a midweek game Must be one of their biggest mid week turnouts outside the north west in ages

Everton are going to get away with it again

Only Newcastle ,Brighton , Brentford ,Villa , Leeds and Wolves have stayed up for more than two seasons since 2017 Suggests you have to be super well ran like Brighton and Brentford, a heritage club or cheat FFP like Wolves to have any chance of staying long

Don’t think Stoke have threatened at all since getting relegating Not sure what’s gone on there as they were always pretty well run

Without going into the figures we’ll be ok with go straight back up but if we stay down we’ll probably have to start trimming costs We haven’t had any major cost cutting off field this year

Conference league means very little in terms of revenue We turned over more the season before with no fans in the stadium

Without sounding all Sean Dyche we spend around 50 million more in wages than the 4th biggest club in the championship and have a bigger turnover than most Premier League clubs (Leeds included) Obviously football isn’t played on paper but even if we’re a yo-yo club historically, currently we are a top half premier league side that’s somehow in the second tier

Have been pretty doggo the rest of the season though

Stoke have sold out tbf which they didn’t do very often In the prem Norwich usually bring a few here Boro travel well but their form will knock a few off
