Who was our Premier League equivalent? 13:30 - Mar 19 with 3794 viewsBluefish

A club that has been a mainstay but is not good enough or rich enough to ever break into the top 6 these days despite flirting with it in the past. A club with a solid history and little hope.

Probably Everton? Maybe Villa before that?

Everton is a very optimistic comparison, how were we a mainstay? I was thinking along the lines of Southampton, had a few successes, but had its downs and mediocrity too.

Definitely Everton, were regular 7th place under Moyes. Slowly slipping since.

Everton and Villa are both bigger clubs than us imho.

I'd say Forest of old or Watford / Southampton of the current Prem sides

Although not sure that either Watford or Southampton have the "solid history" mentioned in the OP.

I meant the premier league equivalent of us in the champion so size relative to the division. Not the same size as us

Do you think that they also have the same attitude as fans as we did about mid table mediocrity? I were if they can related to the mcgoldrick comments about wins? For years we have had a portion of fans that say mid table with no hope of top 6 is a pointless existence

Forest of old is a bit optimistic.

West ham. They have a good hard core if local fans. Not a big fan pool outside of their own catchment area.

Always fliting between divisions without spending big (compared with the division they are in). This if course has changed now that we have all been forced to fund them in their new soleless stadium.

Never going to challenge top four but fans just hopeful of a cup run. Good historical world cup connections.

If they went down and up they are not the equivalent of us in this division

West Brom, at least in recent years. Solidly mid table at the expense of watchable football, new manager causes fall to relegation leaving another to pick up the pieces.

I survived Ipswich 0-0 Burton

I live in Ireland and I see far more West Ham shirts here than I see shirts of Man City or Spurs so not sure I’d agree with the end of your first paragraph

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Their locality, Stratford to Southend, is probably the most populous area to have only one club in its heart. Their silent following is massive.

Seriously Fishers, what constitutes a meaningful existence nowadays for a football club. In any division, is being 15th on a regular basis, because thats pretty much financially what reality dictates, a meaningful existence ? Thats not a side swipe at ME either. If our true position is top 6 in div 3 and being competitive then that's the way schizzle is and I personally can, and have got to live with that. Is ticking off the FA fixture list and being nowhere in div 2 but just existing and being there meaningful in any way ? To my mind, and other views are availible and no less valid, sport is about competing not just making up the numbers.


Forget our history and pedigree, we will find our level in the pecking order.

Southampton spent from 78-2005 in the top division at times early on finishing in the top 6 before gradually dropping and being relegated. So the equivalent may be Southampton of 2005.

When they got relegated, they spent 4 years getting lower and lower in the Championship before dropping into League 1. It took them 2 years to escape that but they did return to the Premier League straight after that.

To extrapolate from that and assume we would go down to League 2 then return in similar fashion would assume far too many factors. However, we do share a good record for bringing through youth players.
