Although it feels like it sometimes you have to say no.
We have won the biggest trophy in English football, we also spent an awful long time in the top flight playing the countrys best week in, week out and were fortunate enough to see some very good players play in Sky Blue over the years.
I'm sure a lot of teams would take that over a top 6 finish in the third division (for example).
Well a friend who is a Coventry fan living in Bristol,has repeatedly told me that,Bristol f....ing Rovers have been to Wembley or the Millenium Stadium four times since we won the FA Cup in 1987.For sustained mediocrity no other club comes close to matching our 'success' of non achievment.Hence the 31000 fans who turned up for the JPT match versus Crewe,where funningly I don't remember hearing a single SISU out chant.After Monday, I think it must be as depressing as hell to be a Walsall fan!
Sheffield Wednesday are a similar case to us -years of mediocrity with no obvious sign of improvement
Middlesbrough because, well, you'd have to go to Middlesbrough
Has always struck me that being a Bristol Rovers fan must be a miserable existence - awful ground, a shadow of their former selves (even their 'good old days' weren't very good!) and overshadowed by local rivals - Bristol City...imagine being overshadowed by Bristol fucking City!!
Hartlepool, though a nice place, have zero prospect of every doing any better than where they are now
So in short, we're not on our own!
Is the Premier League not a domestic competition then?No we haven't won the biggest trophy in English football? We haven't won the prem? Unless you mean domestic trophy?

No the premier League is the biggest. Teams like Wimbledon before reforming, Luton town, Oxford United and Stockport County have had it bad in recent years and been down at the conference etc.
To suggest we somehow have it the worst just suggests a shocking lack of awareness of the plight of the vast majority of fans. It's all a bit 'woe is me', especially when people claim we're the laughing stock of English football. As if English football cares enough.
Some people need to get a fucking grip. We don't even have it that bad.
Rochdale are surley contenders, Rochdale played 36 consecutive seasons in the Football League's bottom division from 1974 to 2010
no promotion / no relegation
Hartlepool, though a nice place, have zero prospect of every doing any better than where they are now
