It doesn't matter that's the gap in the respective leagues, you can't use the argument of European leagues then moan when I say the gaps are small in two of the best leagues in the world
Why not compare like for like? As in the teams in our country and the teams who have 23 other teams in their league and have played the same amount of games.
Championship - 16 points
League One - 8 points
League Two - 20 points
NL - 15 points
NL North - 20 points
NL South - 20 points
Can you spot the odd one out?
So again that means that league 1 is the most competitive division... Obviously
Yes and also that there’s little difference between the best teams and the mid table teams therefore teams being much of a muchness - which I believe is what I said all along
No you said if 1/2/3 teams piss the league it means the league is of a better standard.... Which I argued against all along because its most definitely NOT
It means the top teams are of a better standard yes?
And it also means that everybody else is not good enough, which gives them the ability to win win win win
And are 6th in the Premier league... That means the Premier league is really strong though right lolOr they were just brilliant sides at this level and too good? Sheffield United are using quite a few players now they used in L1
And are 6th in the Premier league... That means the Premier league is really strong though right lol
You honestly believe if you put Bristol City of 14/15 and Sheffield United of 16/17 in this league they wouldn’t get promoted?
I never said that, I said the division OVERALL has better sides and is more competitive... What's so hard about this to understand.
If a team walks a league it means the competition isn't there, that's blatantly obvious
It's like saying the SPL over the last 10 years has been a great league
You can still win a league on less points?Where do you think Sheffield United (100 points) and Bristol City (99 points) would finish as this league would pose them harder games than they faced?
You can still win a league on less points?
I'm not sure what drum you're banging but it makes no sense
So they would still finish 1st and 2nd yes? Despite having harder games?
Which means the division is more competitive... Wow this is hard
Does competitive mean of higher quality?
Or does it mean a lot of the teams are around the same level
Can be seen both ways
Harder as more teama ti compete with
Easier as bo runaway leaders
Is it worth arguing about?
Well it is isn't it? Proved through performances in Europe over the last few years.And are 6th in the Premier league... That means the Premier league is really strong though right lol
Championship and league 2 teams have played 2/3 games more than us.We can debate about why the top teams aren’t doing very well in comparison but one thing I think we can all agree on is that is this definitely our best chance to go up with how close it all is.
Any other league or season with 41 points and we’d be outside the play offs and about 12 points off top - 41 points would have us 8th in the Championship and 9th in L2 - and 8th last season in L1 at this stage
Yes you’re rightChampionship and league 2 teams have played 2/3 games more than us.
Awesome, now all we need is a time machine and a taxi. Or a time travelling taxi.Yes you’re right
Coventry City 2-1 Charlton Athletic
This is the L1 table after 24 last season - it would have us outside play offs on GD and 10 points off top with the 41 points we have now
There’s as much difference between 1st and 4th as there is now from 1st to 12th now
Well it is isn't it? Proved through performances in Europe over the last few years.

The other problem is there's is no way of knowing how many points we would have in any other league in any other season so why keep banging that drum, it makes no sense
I’ve posted the L1 table after 24 from last season which has us outside the play offs on our point total
Ok, but it's a pointless thing to do because with this team in that division it 100% wouldn't be the same so why keep on about it... Its frankly bizarre
ir could be more or less but in a normal season we wouldn’t be anywhere near automatic promotion with these points.
Ipswich were on a run of no wins in something like 8 until yesterday,Doncaster a few weeks ago were 14th and now are in sight, Sunderland have struggled but now are in the pack. The league is equally mediocre with no dominant force which is a one off.
The top 6 this season you could argue will be tougher this season.
By my reckoning in 2 less games this season. Target will be 72 points.
Yes less points than your usual 2 ppg to win it. But ultimately more difficult to get into play offs.
A weaker Coventry team took 15 points from 24 against those top 4 last season....
But obviously the league is was much much stronger
Last season the team finishing 5th had well over 80 points. It’s the best chance we will ever have.
You keep saying weaker but it’s an assumption not a fact.
