Now that the play offs have finished, and we read the forums of other clubs either celebrating being back where they belong or hating being in this poxy league (Sunderland), it begged the question where do I think clubs belong.
On a quiet Tuesday morning, whilst I wait for my wife to get ready before I take her clothes shopping for her birthday (kill me now), I compiled a list of where I thought clubs belonged. This will vary amongst pretty much every single one of us, depending on your age mostly I guess and where teams were during your informative years, ie youngsters will consider Wigan maybe a premiership or Championship team where as in my initial draft I had them in league 2.
Premiership was fairly easy to compile, as was league 2 but the Championship and league 1 were difficult.
For what it’s worth, here is my list and it may be fun, or take up some close season boredom!
In no particular order;
Premiership
1. Man Utd
2. Liverpool
3. Arsenal
4. Chelsea
5. Man City
