A summer divergence from the no takeover no news.

West Midlands :
Villa
Baggies
Wolves

East Midlands :
Derby
Forest

Yorks & North East :
Newcastle
Sunderland
Leeds
Sheff Weds

North West :
Liverpool

West Ham
Chelsea

Others :
Norwich
Bristol City
Celtic
Rangers

Celtic
Rangers

Sorry, what?

[saunders_heroes]

I wouldn't want Celtic and Rangers anywhere near English football. Too much baggage and they'd bring out the very worst from the fans down here.

[Legion]

Celtic and Rangers? No thanks.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

The original 12 founding members plus any other 8 from the midlands or north.

If we're being silly and opening it up to Scotland and therefore the rest of Europe then Villa would be the only English ones in my 20, apart from maybe Dawlish Town. Let's see, there's Bordeaux, Monaco, Malaga, Alkmaar, Cork, St Pauli would be a fun weekend, Inverness...

F**k Norwich as well. Their fans are twats, their board are small minded biggots, Delia Smith,  carrott muchers, stupid accents, shagging their own sisters etc etc

That's the sort of bigotry Alan Partridge would come out with.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Accrington have gone under.

Well their sort of reincarnation of a reincarnation then.
Lets face it, a club that has been mentioned that only been in existence for two years from what could soon be a foreign country.

And if it's non-stadia based you can exclude Wet Spam once they move to the Olympic stadium in 2016. And how could you exclude Fulham?! So Fulham in place of West Ham for me

On the other hand if we're going East Anglia haven't Ipswich got more pedigree?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Going on most seasons in the top flight and ignoring anyone who's moved into a new ground in about the last 15-20 years I've got the following:- (note; my choice would exclude scummy teams like Leeds, Blues and Chelsea).

Everton
Villa
Liverpool
Man Utd
Newcastle
Chelsea
Baggies
Blackburn
Wednesday
Wolves
Sheff Utd
Blues
Forest
Burnley
Dirty Leeds
Preston
Portsmouth
Notts County
Blackpool
Ipswich

[silhillvilla]

Villa + a mix of 19 teams from the Conference North

[Legion]

We'd still be flirting with relegation...
