Premier League v Championship

[Putney Blade]

Today, decent Championship side against a good Premier side.
9 / 10 times Premiership quality will win.
Quite simply, we lack Premiership quality.
WHU were 2 or 3 notches above us quality wise.
They spent zillions to get there.
It's hard to bridge that gap.

The League One side gives it a good going over!!

The more nuanced amongst are left bewildered at where Tufty has let us get so soft and tentative...

2. Man Utd – £484.88m
3. Arsenal – £267.88m
4. Everton – £225.42m
5. Brighton – £214.86m
6. Wolves – £205.22m
7. West Ham – £187.49m
8. Bournemouth – £176.95m
9. Aston Villa – £166.65m
10. Watford – £125.69m
11. Leicester City – £124.83m
12. Newcastle – £122.91m
13. Chelsea – £115.57m
14. Liverpool – £107.58m
15. Tottenham – £106.62m
16. Crystal Palace – £75.69m
17. Burnley – £59.4m
18. Sheffield United – £56.71m
19. Southampton – £22.32m
20. Norwich City – £25.42m profit

That's excluding the amount spent this season. The gap you talk about isn't all that big considering WHU hardly spent this season, us on the other hand...........

There is realistically 30m difference in spend during those 5 years, to say they've been in the PL for all that time and we've been here 2 seasons speaks volumes. On that projection we'll have spent double what they have over 5 fucking years, yet you're still saying we're a far worse team! It shows we waste money.
