WHICH PREM OLD CLUB DO YOU MISS? IF ANY

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Miss ?

Post by Shellshock »

My favourite premier league line up would be Arsenal plus:

Aston Villa, Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley, Derby, Everton, Hull, Ipswich, Liverpool, Luton, Man Utd, Newcastle, Nottm Forest, Portsmouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, WBA, Wimbledon, Wolves.

Mostly traditional top division clubs with a smattering of younger or more deserving clubs. Bye bye Spuds and Chelski.

Having said that I do hope Newcastle go down this season; they can come back when they've ditched their fans/owners/managers etc with the belief that they are a great club.

No thanks to the teams in bold for obvious reasons, Preston and Huddersfield can take their places...

Wimbledon. Simply because they'd be a 5-10 minute walk for the away game (as are Fulham).

AFC Wimbledon got promoted to the conference yesterday. Pretty good for a club only formed a few years back.

I went to an AFC Wimbledon game last year, had a pee at half time, and realised that the bloke standing next to me was the Wimbledon captain and star player! Not quite Ashburton Grove... :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's got to be Saints. I do feel sorry for a lot of my mates who have followed Saints for years and now have to watch in League 1. I would love to have them back in prem. I can walk to the ground passing 2 real ale pubs on route.

Who I miss

Only one answer you me ... Wimbledon

Thanks to all of you, who have written positive comments. As an AFC Wimbledon supporter ( and a red member at Arsenal), I can never forgive or forget the decision made in May 2002. MK Dons could win the Champions League and fill some soulless arena in the south midlands and the decision to franchise the Club would still be morally wrong.

Anyway Blue Square Conference next season and the gap between Leeds, Norwich, Southampton etc and us keeps on getting smaller.
