Luton 2 points off Derby’s record which r/Soccer and Twitter insisted they’d have trouble beating because their ground has 2 houses next to it
Most people on here only watch elite prem teams play and just assumed small club = awful.
I still think we go down fwiw but we are by no means the worst
Not that they are really complaining now, but I remember people on this sub laughing off the idea of Wolves hiring Rob Edwards
Every season /r/soccer insists three teams in the Premier League are guaranteed to go down because they’re so much worse than everyone else, then almost inevitably at least one or two of them end up staying up. You’d have thought people would get out of this habit by now.
I’ve been saying it since the beginning of the season (and am keeping the receipts for my pals,) but it’s absurd how memes fueled people’s beliefs that this would be an all time terrible team. They were third in the championship and very much deserving of being promoted.
They aren’t good, but memes aren’t reality either.
