Yeah, supporting a big team was always something that other people did, instead we supported our local team. Now the two have merged it feels a little strange.

It is still very surreal but the way things have gone over recent years, the bottom half of the premier league clubs tend to be on a par with the top half of the championship.
Yes, we get a much higher profile and the glamour fixtures which is wonderful.
But having watched us play Watford and West Brom where we did very well it doesn't, in the moment feel much different to playing say Norwich last year. Of course it's the Premier League so it is different but the level of football is in matches like those, not that different. It's against the teams like Man Utd, Chelsea etc we will stand a higher chance of feeling like imposters. But I guess that's the same for a lot of the so called lesser teams.

Someone at my work put up a PL fixture poster from one of the sunday rags, on the crew room wall, before the season KO.
I only did a double take once to see Albions fixture list, the badge and the obligatory player (Bruno), for each team.
That's it, we are here to stay, anyway it's good to see the anxt on the faces of the lads I work with, who do support PL teams.
It's great

*and by world I mean 'top tiers in England, France, Spain, Italy & Germany'.

Nope. Looking forward to that one.
Circle jerk, more like.
Looking forward to getting some points off them.
If we ever do work ourselves upward, we also will end up with an army of armchair tosspots talking bollocks about our games when at work, unsure whether it is 'we' or 'they'......
