LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
Fulham were down to gates of 4000 before mr fayed came along waving his cheque book that I do know.
How, if at all, do you think this relates to location? What with Harrod’s being just up the road from Fulham. Why do you think Mr Fayed didn’t invest in Middlesboro, or Sunderland?
However if this new chairman mr khan has 800 million spare to buy Wembley I would expect major investment in the team.
How, if at all, do you think this relates to location? What with Wembley being just up the road from Fulham. Why do you think Mr Khan didn’t invest in Middlesboro, or Sunderland? Surely they have some fine stadiums in Glasgow that could maybe do with some investment?
Is Football just a matter of odds?
Almost. Except when the odds get too close to each other.
Your obsession with “class” is bizarre along with your implication of location having a bearing on the likely success of a club.
Your ignorance of the Geo-Socio-Economic determinants on Sport, Sport Science, and Football is also bizarre and quite remarkable. I am surprised and disappointed that you can’t see the importance or relevance of Location on football. I am not going to patronise you. Google if you need more. There’s much study online, I can refer you to stuff if you want me to.
If you can’t see the importance and relevence of class and location in football, it’s not my job to teach you. With all respect, being a Wolves fan from Salford, it is understandable.
You seem hell bent on ripping my points to bits, rather than accepting class is equally as important as form in football. You’ve had your turn there. I haven’t touch yours, yet. You are ignoring my questions, I am answering all of yours, or trying to.
So let’s look at your point. Which is? class is nothing, your only as good as your last match, form is everything?
Well this question you conveniently ignored will counter your argument, which is probably why you ignored it.
Man City (or Utd) who are on a miserably poor run of form, are playing Swindon who are on a very good run of form, in the FA Cup Final on Saturday. Who are you putting your shillings on? Who are the bookies odds on favourites?
Class will win that match 9 out of 10 times, not form, and the Cup is going to Manchester. If Swindon get hammered 6-0 no-one will be too surprised.
Class and form go hand in hand. The more of both the better it gets.
If you think Fulham are bigger than clubs such as former English champions Leeds United, Sheff wed, Notts forest, football isn’t your area of expertise clearly.
Please don’t twist my words. (or I’ll twist yours). No I don’t think that for one moment. I also have stated Forest, Leeds, Villa, lets include SheffWeds too, are too Classy for their current division, and how Class will prevail.
If you can infer that I have suggested Fulham are bigger than those clubs, or even suggest that I can infer that from what I have written. it’s time to end this x
Class doesn’t prevail though does it , Leeds haven’t been in the top flight for 15 years … so much for that silly argument. Money matters in football and very little else as has already been explained to you countless times so maybe put a bet on the classy toffs of Fulham finishing above the two clubs from Manchester next season. Good luck with that one… incidentally do you know why a club like notts forest who you label as lol ” too classy for the championship” have not been in the premier league this century? No of course you don’t because you’re clueless unfortunately.

Please answer this, anybody.
How can an unraced debutant horse, with no form be a bookies favourite to win a race against experienced and proven winners?
And?
would you bet on it?
Should it win?
An unraced racehorse will have gallops at home and usually on a racecourse with experienced older horses usually with proven form, so the connections can have a fair idea of the horses ability before it sets foot on the track for its first race. There are also gallops watchers who watch the workouts, either for their own benefit or to report back to bookmakers.
Hello Reason and thankyou very much for your excellent answer.
I wasn’t expecting that. I was expecting to have to argue my way for 2 days through this.
How, if at all would that relate to our debate on class? Class of the horse as in pedigree and class of the race, class 5 og Group 1?
Can I ask would you bet on him if he was the favourite? Do you think it would or should win?
Your analogy of race horses is ridiculous, rich clubs afford the better stock of horses whilst ” clubs too classy for the championship” that haven’t a pot to p*iss in afford donkeys. This has nothing to do with class but cold hard cash – if you cant see that its time for you to call it a day
Clubs like Accrington Stanley have no class, put a dirty arab in charge paying huge wages and this classless club would soon start to climb the leagues.
Class doesn’t prevail though does it
Neither does your form, or you’d be counting your readies on Germany and Spain.
incidentally do you know why a club like notts forest who you label as lol ” too classy for the championship” have not been in the premier league this century?
Yes I do actually, do you?
No of course you don’t because you’re clueless unfortunately.
You are clueless to Geo-Socio-Economic determinants on English Football.
Why is there no top tier teams in the home counties? (The counties immediately bordering and surrounding London) Essex, Herts, Bucks, Berks, Middlesex, Surrey, Kent? I’m including Brentford and Watford as London here.
Do you think Sunderland would have been “saved” if it were an average district of London, like Fulham, CPalace, Brentford, Barnet?
Do you think Sunderland would have been “saved” if it were an average district of Manchester or Liverpool?
With the exception of Newcastle, why is there a decline in north east football?
Do you think Fulham, CPalace, Watford would be top tier if they districts of Leeds or Sheffield, and not London?
Why has there been a decline in West Midlands teams? Why, with the exception of new boys Wolves is the 2nd most populous region of England, the West Midlands so disproportionately represented in Premier football.
How can a huge Yorkshire powerhouse triangle of cities like Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford COMBINED, 3rd most populous region of England not have one team in top tier?, not even close.
Why can small Lancastrian(ish) towns like Warrington, Wigan, St Helens compete and dominate with cities 10 times their size in Rugby?
Why can small Lancastrian(ish) towns like Blackburn, Burnley, Blackpool, Preston, Wigan, Bolton, Accrington, Fleetwood? compete with cities 10 times their size in Football?? But Essex and Kent towns cant.
Why does South Wales have two top tier teams (almost), yet nearby Bristol has none. Not even close in the Premier era?
The answer to all these questions lies in Location, or Socio-Economic Geo-Politics.
You are clueless to Geo-Socio-Economic determinants on English Football.
Instead of pepering your posts with Alfieisms and complete bull, “what ifs”and “maybes” etc, why don’t you explain what you mean by this?
What is the affect of ‘Geo-Socio-Economic determinants’ on English football (and Welsh) and the relationship with class?

What a truly bizarre post, if anything beating the last for irrelevant information and waffle. What the number of premier league clubs existing or not existing in the home counties has to do with the price of fish, I’ve no idea other than indication you have been smoking more illicit substances you alluded to on your sausage thread.
Sunderland were ” saved” because they are a large club with history and no relevance to the north west other than in your own head. You speak of a decline in north east football yet the north east has only ever had 3 large clubs , Newcastle, boro and Sunderland with one in the premier league and the other two having played there in recent times…what do you expect exactly, all three to be competing in the champions league?
I haven’t a clue what you are wittering on about regarding Essex towns, that proves what exactly? Your point on small Lancashire clubs being able to compete in rugby shows it’s wealth not location that matters unless you regard Lancashire as the English Riviera? Your next point is even stranger, “why does an entire region of a country have two top tier teams and a single city Bristol have none”… excusing the fact it doesn’t and has one , it begs the question- why does an entire region of a country have more top flight clubs than one city? Answers on a post card to clueless.com or whatthefckhasthatgottodowithanything.com.?
The crowning turd in this molten cowpat of a post is ” why has there been a decline in west midland teams ” when in recent years ( infact this calendar year) Stoke a stones throw from the area and west brom were playing top flight football. You have stated socio economic factors evolves gradually but in the space of one summer , the area now has gone from 3 teams to one proving the area is deprived vindicating your stance on it being location related. Even funnier as earlier , west midlands team Aston villa was cited as having too much class for the championship, which was why according to you they got promoted. You then changed it to Fulham realising your mistake and have stated if your ” theory is correct ” villa will be promoted next season lol coming from the west midlands… an area you appear to openly deride using as evidence of ” geo politics ” surfacing in football- which is it?
The cherry on the top of this cake of insanity is using geographical locations as evidence of failure yet the two most successful clubs in football come from the deprived north west area knocking your London based Arsenal side into a cocked hat season after season… keep up the comedy !
In the words of Mr Q , you have a nice day now

Quite simple Alfie Chelsea less than 2 miles away gates at least 41000 every week, Qpr just down the road bigger club than Fulham, Why didn’t mr fayed buy them if it was about location? He was around years before roman? Why buy the cheap option then put up a statue of mr mike Jackson?
