The gulf since the greedy league began is bigger than ever
Man City have crept in there now but are not as big clubs as united and the whingers
I remember the days of Ipswich troubling the top guns , Sunderland winning the fa Cup, Coventry, Leeds in the mid seventies , Forest under Clough
But that top five is it for me
Villa have potential but never do much , Everton had their place in the sun in the mid 80s but have failed to trouble the big five
Clubs with big support but they never do anything are Newcastle, Sunderland , Sheffield Wednesday , Sheffield United , Pompey , Derby , Forest , West Brom
The rest is much of a muchness ......Palace, Norwich etc
Its great to see teams like Watford , Burnley pulling up trees
As for us we have the potential but its never been realised , I put us with that lot up the road and in truth over the last ten years they have got the form
Birmingham City have a lot of potential and have spent longer in the top flight than us but never get anywhere
Preston , Huddersfield, Blackpool, big names from the past but in the shadows now
