New Sides
Just wanted to take a minute to welcome the three new sides that have been promoted up to the Prem. Sunderland, Birmingham City & Derby County. I was really hoping my beloved Colchester U’s would make it up this year, but it wasn’t to be. Either way, it will be fun to watch what these new sides will bring to the top.
Birmingham City
Looks like this side is right back up from a year away in the Championship. They’re back with their man Steve Bruce running the show. Yet another side calling themselves The Blues, though? I think we’re at capacity for Blues and Reds, no? Someone at the FA needs to look into this. Blue, Red, Pink… whatever. It’s good to see them back up top.
Derby County
This club is 2 years older than the Arsenal. I wonder if experience will see them up top next year. They got here by way of playoff final and have been absent from the top flight for 5 years. Billy Davies has finally brought his Rams back to the top. I’m looking forward to watching a match at Pride Park with the Gunners… should be an interesting one.
Sunderland
Another side back after a year away, the Black Cats and their Stadium of Light are ready to take another shot at staying up. Roy Keane is at the helm. Can’t wait to see what he and his side can do.
