Hypothetical Perfect Premier League

[Midnitemike]

Hopefully it will never happen, but for the sake of curing my boredom on a cold Saturday evening, imagine if the Premier League Clubs wanted to break away and go down the American route and have a settled 20 team top tier with no relegation to the lower football leagues - which 20 teams would you like to see in it? Mine would be:

1. Everton
2. Liverpool*
3. Man United
4. Man City
5. Arsenal
6. Spurs
7. Villa
8. Chelsea
9. West Ham
10. Newcastle
11. Norwich
12. Ipswich
13. Southampton
14. Fulham
15. Wimbledon
16. Wolves
17. Leeds
18. Notts Forest
19. Sheff Utd
20. Sheff Wednesday

* It would be funny if the RS weren't in it but despite our recent poor form in it I do love derby day.

Its harder to pick than you would think.

 

[Goat]

1. Everton
2. Everton U21
3. Everton U18

 

[Midnitemike]

1. Everton
2. Everton U21
3. Everton U18

We'd still find some way of finishing 7th in that league!

 

[BlueWeasel]

I wouldn't have Wolves at all, nevermind twice.

 

[Midnitemike]

I wouldn't have Wolves at all, nevermind twice.

Fixed - its harder to pick the bottom half than you'd think.

 

[BlueWeasel]

I was thinking Sheff Utd myself. Can't really argue too much with your list.

 

[JamesEFC]

Pretty much what i'd pick, someone else instead of fulham though, Sunderland maybe

 

[Rook]

Would like to see the 2 Sheffield teams in the prem

 

[Jamo Martinez]

4 london teams are enough so Fulham and Wimbledon can fook off. Replace them with Sunderland and Derby

 

[Azzurri]

I'd swerve Wimbledon for West Brom and Ipswich for Sunderland. Maybe Fulham for Derby.

I did a pretty similar thread a few months ago. I'd have swansea an blackpool instead of wolves and newcastle. Don't like norwich so i'd chuck them out and get portsmouth in there

 

[Dutch Toffee]

1.Everton
2.Nottingham Forest
3.Sheffield United
4.Norwich City
5.West Bromwich Albion
6.West Ham United
7.Wolverhampton
8.Leeds United
9.Crystal Palace
10.Arsenal
11.Tottenham Hotspur
12.Manchester United
13.Stoke City
14.Fulham
15.Sunderland
16.AFC Wimbledon
17.Southampton
18.Swansea
19.Tranmere Rovers
20.Kopites (in a perfect Premiership we'd kick them all over the field).

Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Man City are allowed to rot away in the 2nd division.

Stoke?

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Stoke?

Yes, Stoke would be in there for me. I know they don't get much sympathy from most on here, but I don't mind them really. Been to the Britannia twice now on my travels and can't say anything else but that I have enjoyed the experience.

I can't be doing with Tranmere after their rats and that horrendous cup game at Goodison.

They're mostly undercover kopites with the sh*te as their second team.
