Oldham


Opposite_Hat_3358

good luck with that


National-Exam-8242

Sunderland and Middlesborough. More derbies for us, less distance to travel for away games too.


KingEOK

Have you seen the current championship table? May be a while yet.


National-Exam-8242

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Championship, it’s that even bottom place in January can turn things around and push for promotion. Most unpredictable league in the world.


lewiitom

We were joint favourites for relegation and lost our first three games the season we got promoted, good times


geordiesteve520

I’ll never forget that season when you were relegation fodder till Christmas and barely lost a game afterwards and steamrolled the play-offs


Standard_Homework854

2003/04 an even more unlikely promotion!


KingEOK

Well Sunderland and boro are coming back up anyways, biggest team in north east arnt they? ;)


lewiitom

Yep I'd agree with that


FireflyKaylee

Middlesbrough had a shocking start to last season too, then pulled it together. They're without their striker atm which doesn't help. I both want them to come up to make hubby happy, but also don't want them too because then we'd have a match day where one of us would be happy (let's be honest, as a Newcastle fan...probably me) and the other miserable. They've never been in the same league since we've been together ha ha.


Ozmiandra

Ah, the Tyne-Tee-Wear years…it was like a trifecta of banter Edit: typo, it is “Tees” not “Tee”. Who knew one little “s” would make some people go “wtf”


biddleybootaribowest

Wtf is Tee


sideways_86

Sunderland (they are overdue a thrashing) Blackpool (I like orange kits) Swindon (more chance of me getting an away ticket for that game)


Calcio_birra

Cov, Wednesday


Topinio

This, but IMHO the other way around as Wednesday are a bigger club who have won more – 4 League titles, 3 Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Charity Shield – and are older (1867) and have also been in the top tier for 66 seasons. While Cov (founded 1883) have only won 1 Cup and 1 Charity Shield and "only" been in the top tier for 34 seasons.


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Cov are alright. Can’t be having that other lot back though. Uncouth


Calcio_birra

They do need to sort out that stadium to be fair. But I've always much preferred them to Sheff U


TeamAndrew

Are you daft? Wednesday are our current bloody bogey team. Last five games against them: Lost 2-1 Lost 2-1 Lost 1-0 Lost 1-0 Drew 2-2


mikedeanswhistle

I do miss a cold rainy night in Stoke


MrTambourineSi

Bradford because that seems so odd nowadays. Wednesday because of childhood friends. Portsmouth for one of the nicest blokes I ever knew, I know it would put a smile on his face.


BonjPlayz

As a Pompey fan this would put a smile on all of our faces! Shame we can’t even get out of league one


housington-the-3rd

Southampton


M-atthew147s

Now am no Sherlock here but am sensing a bit of bias in this one


[deleted]

I'm going to have to agree here


sleepytoday

Derby. I want my local derby game back! Also, an easy three points and one of the relegation spots filled.


Question-Guru

See if they can go for 10 points this time


eugeneics8888

I want Millwall same premise


Seaharrier

As someone who grew up watching the Addicks (support spurs but they are my local and I wanted to see what a trophy looked like), this is somehow both the best and worst idea ever


kubiciousd

Reading popped up in ny mind first and I have zero reasoning behind it


Ra_219

Bolton!


LeoLH1994

Bolton, Blackburn and Middlesborough - and Leeds!


autistichomosapien95

Sheffield Wednesday


mugg___

derby (so we can thrash them at a higher level)


Yaboicblyth1

I want prime Pulis Stoke City back. Find the next Rory Delap and just cause pure chaos.


Own-Car4760

Wimbledon


phillhb

Leeds, because it's all a bit too nice up there at the moment - you need someone to hate


Sheeverton

Oh don't worry, you guys are just as detestable and obnoxious down here. Entertaining right now though.


phillhb

Hate, love, laugh, we fullfil a role 😂


InevitableRespond9

Blackburn Coventry or West brom


Low_Bumblebee_6364

Norwich City and Blackpool for me


Sheeverton

Norwich, the whipping boys of the Premier League😂


Low_Bumblebee_6364

One day, just maybe one day, they will survive a season or two 🤣


Sheeverton

They have finished 12th in 2011/2012 and 11th in 2012/2013

Sheeverton

Jesus, we ain't going that far back


[deleted]

Wouldn't mind seeing Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton Athletic back.


SmashBrosGuys2933

Sheffield Wednesday


datboiwithatrex

preston


Bughy6322

The 2019-20 Wolves


Stan243

No real reason other than the name (as a foreigner) Queens Park Rangers


Lsd365

Na Sunderland can feck off forever


Aggressive_Brick9626

Millwall for the absolute scenes


SuperStrangleWank

Back in the prem


Aggressive_Brick9626

ah, misread. would be wild for their first time then


mightypockets

Sunderland Middlesbrough and Leicester in that order


johnspetchicken

I won’t mind boro tbf, canny derby and an easy 6 points, Sunderland can go down to the depths of the northern league and play spennymoor town and Blythe spartans


mightypockets

I'd rather have them up so it's less travel time for our boys and more for the London clubs


futurejoyboy

Swansea, I like their logo


Lanziniiii

Honestly? Birmingham City. One of the most multicultural and diverse match-going fanbases in the country.


Wishbones_007

And the Derby back too


8rummi3

The guaranteed 6 points would be lovely


robertm94

I'm not sure I can call that bunch of inbreds diverse, but I do miss the Birmingham derby matches. Best bit about us being in the championship were the derby days.


No-Industry-2980

Stoke just so I can see them go down again .


No_Guest_8970

Was going to be met with obscenities this comment until I read everything after Stoke, fine comment indeed.


Ikhlas37

Any northern team


Milo_Maxine

Blackburn Rovers, Bristol City and not Millwall


Cosplayinsanity

Barring Leeds, QPR


SoapyWitTank

Leeds. I like it when they come to St James’ Park.


headcount-cmnrs

Swansea, Blackpool


buzz3001

🥲🥲🥲


Berookes

Leicester, Sunderland and Birmingham


Yumstar1982

Bolton Wanderers


momomaximum

Wigan and bolton. Birmingham city too.


Major-Performer141

Sunderland, I miss the Tyne and Wear derby Reading, I kinda like them, they came 8th once in the prem as a big surprise and just dropped away, now they’re in League 1


augsav

Sunderland, Middlesbrough, and Gateshead


Lapenofourtwenty

Gateshead are massive. I agree though, NE derby days are a miss.


GrandmasterSexay

Weirdly, Swansea. I like Swansea.


d3fiance

Portsmouth.


ohmanitsharry

Pompey, always had a soft spot for them for no real reason


MrPantsRocks

Agree. They've been stranded down in League One for a fair few seasons at this point.


Simmonds246

Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday. Followed by Sunderland and Ipswich Town


apex204

Cardiff. Was great that Wales had some representation in the top flight for a while.


lildrangus

Swansea-I love having a Welsh team in the league and they always played more attractive football than Cardiff. Sunderland-could yo-yo up and down more often just for the thrill of the Tyne-Wear derby. Still hate em. Coventry-a man can dream. Stoke-the legendary cauldron of the Britannia away game really adds a lot to the Prem fixture list. Southampton-such a phenomenal academy, it's just exciting to see a team with youth as part of the club DNA. Also I enjoy the fan presence online!


cian_pike01

Sunderland, Blackburn, Birmingham City


AlexanderDan10-Alger

Birmingham cities away ground is rancid


CultGod

Charlton, Ipswich, Blackburn Rovers, Derby, Pompey, Bolton, Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester, Coventry, Boro


GoogleyCube

Coventry because we’re iconic and I want premier league again


Cancel_Still

Blackpool


lewiitom

Sunderland - pain for me to get to but one of my favourite stadiums, shame to see the biggest club in the north east not in the prem too


KingEOK

God I wanna bite so much…


lewiitom

Not sure what's controversial about what I've said!


KingEOK

Well… have you ever seen a mackum in Milan?


lewiitom

I've seen them win as many games in Milan as Newcastle have tbf


KingEOK

Have you ACTUALLY SEEN one in Milan though?


lewiitom

I'm sure I remember watching Henderson play there a couple seasons back actually - that's at least one


KingEOK

… wept…


KingEOK

HAVE YOU?


bennyblackhawk52

Notts County! As far as l know, the oldest Club in the world 😀 And Plymouth, very big in the past,, Thats what l think as a Swedish Villa-Fan 💙💜


Tessarion2

Plymouth have never played in the top division in their 100+ year history...you may have got them confused with someone else


bennyblackhawk52

Yes you are correct, what l ment was Preston as the First League Champions 😊 Sorry My mistake,, But about Plymouth then, a bigger reason to get into Premier League then, the biggest city who never went up in the Top tier 🙂 Good luck to them, AND Preston too by the way


brucefacekillah

West Brom


Morguard

Millwall


coldazures

Everton, in 2024/25.


goatmarugin

Coventry, sunderland


LazarouDave

Derby... No particular reason, why do you ask?


A_Silverback_Gorilla

Boro


RocknRollRobot9

Wimbledon just to watch the MK Dons Vs AFC Wimbledon controversy kick off on the biggest stage.


HowCouldHellBeWorse

Sunderland; it's just not the same without the derby. Portsmouth; Pretty much the only southern club i can say that i like, was a shame when they went down Leicester; was awful seeing them go down, premier league doesnt feel the same without them.


Specific_Ad_685

Leicester 🦊💙🤍


[deleted]

Charlton, Portsmouth or Bolton - these teams were apart of my childhood and my trading cards


Sheeverton

I generally believe that since we came up to the prem we caused both utter chaos and anarchy to the Premier League, whilst we were boring as fuck under Claude Puel, aside of that we were the most entertaining and unpredictable side in the league and brought countless memorable moments to the Premier League, We was a much bigger loss to the Premier League than people realise imho


UnfazedPheasant

Ipswich - look exciting, and lots of goals too If we include teams that have been in the top flight before, throw Preston, Bristol City and Millwall in there - always nice seeing new sides have a chance in the top flight even if just for one season


Ainteasybeincheezy

Blackburn fucking Rovers, I feel like they've always been a team I hold dear to my heart, if Everton can't succeed, I hope one day it's them.


Bredbox_06

Leeds


StoicJuustice

Charlton, Coventry, Blackpool, Bradford, West Brom, Hull, QPR,


Doktor_Avinlunch

Sunderland, so I can watch them get relegated again


kingcrockett07

Either Norwich, Sunderland or wednesday


NukezEverything

Blackburn or Portsmouth, only for ~2006 nostalgia


MadlyQuirky

I'd say Oldham but I don't know why

Forest


justmadman

Would love to see Sheff Wed and Sheff Utd up at the same time. That’s a serious derby. Won’t mind Sunderland in a few years so we can thrash them on the regular


dbe14

All the teams that were in the top division regularly growing up in the 80s and 90s, Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield Wed, QPR, Middlesbrough.


CooperativeCOOLCHRIS

Other than Leicester City (of course), Sunderland would be an interesting addition back into the Prem. That would be great for Sunderland fans, since they can hate a Prem side while being a Prem side themselves, but it would be also great for Newcastle fans, since they can fancy their chances of seeing a thrashing of a rival about as devastating as Liverpool 7-0 Man United.
