It would appear so. Congratulations to Crystal Palace who won promotion to the Premier League earlier this afternoon. I’m sure not too many of us will mourn the fact we won’t be having to travel to deepest, darkest Croydon next season.
Let’s therefore have a quick run down of the teams we will be facing in next year’s gruelling 46 game campaign (+ Charity Shield + League Cup campaign + FA Cup retention attempt + EUROPA LEAGUE COMPETITION)
Nevertheless, here is the bread and butter opposition pigeonholed into easily stereotyped categories:
THE HOTLY CONTESTED LOCAL DERBIES
Bolton
Blackburn
Burnley
Blackpool
THE TASTY AWAY DAY / WEEKENDERS
Brighton (NEW GROUND KLAXON!)
Bournemouth
Yeovil (NEW GROUND KLAXON!)
THE SLUMBERING GIANTS
Forest
Derby
Leeds
Leicester
Middlesbrough
Sheffield Wednesday
Ipswich
Birmingham
MUMSNET FC’S
Reading
QPR
Watford
BIG VERN COCKNEY W**KERS
Millwall
Charlton
THE ROSES RETURNS
Barnsley
Huddersfield
Doncaster (NEW GROUND KLAXON)
See that’s not so bad is it?
