Do we really warrant expectations greater than what we achieved last year? Again, the league is a different breed to the last few seasons in the Championship.
It's a fair point you raise mate. I think in some ways we've reached a stage of impasse in this division. We're an established and competitive championship side and for many of us that will do. For others they'll want us to kick on and aim higher but how realistic or acheivable is that in an industry where it's money that defines your fate nine times out of ten?
I've made my feelings known about the premier and how soul destroying it can be to watch when we can't compete. That would be the likelihood bar some small miracle. The one main reason that i'd like it to happen would be purely so my sons generation and those not old enough to have witnessed being there in 88/89 can say that they've seen Wall in the top division. I think every Wall fan should be given the chance to see that at least once in their life.
I've been going 46 nows and have witnessed my share of misery and gloom so with that in mind i'm just happy that we still exist, have good owners and a competitive team playing in a decent division. However i do understand and respect that other fans want and hope for more.
Football has been ruined by money which begs the question of what's the point anymore. Most of the teams in the premier only wish is to win enough games to retain there status in that division. There's fuck all chance of winning the league so they spend hundreds of millions just to tread water whislt the supporters pay through there nose for more of the same. There only wish and and hope is that they don't get relegated. I honestly can't see what the appeal is.
Very nearly soon to be miserable old fart and grumpy cunt rants and musings end.
Carry on, as you were etc etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
