...after the nightmare that was the Wembley play-off final I'm so glad that this team has eventually been rewarded with relegation...they sure did spoil our party that day and I was quite looking forward to seeing them paid back for wrecking our promotion hopes...and that day finally arrived today...

The key question I think that you want me to answer is do I think Forest are a Premiership side.
You have the history, a decent stadium and a some fans, on par with the amount some of the lower Premiership clubs take. But you haven't been in the Premiership since 1998-99 and I was only young then. I'm a young Leeds fan and I can barely remember that season so my gut reaction would be no to Forest but I'm sure an older fan would say yes.
West Ham obviously only just come down, decent fan base, held their own up there for a fair few years. I know an Arsenal fan who's double my age so he remembers when most of these teams were big and he told me he would say Leeds are bigger than West Ham, so that's an unbiased view there. So obviously us too
We and the said Arsenal fan actually discussed it and he said S'Hampton were also too, I only remember a bit of their hay day in the Prem and not the best with it. I obviously remember Boro up there, not that long ago ( I aint that young) and I would consider them a Prem team.
Also Pompey, but they deserve what they're getting, admin once and still £50m in debt, stupid. Obviously they deserve it as a club, not the fans, fans don't deserve that.
I reckon a few older ones may say Leicester I can't remember how long they were up there I just remember a few early 2000 Prem matches with them.

It is true I wanted you to say Forest.
I think Leeds, Forest, Derby, West ham then a second bracket of possibly Southampton and Ipswich. The rest to me are obvious no-no's

The thing is though derby, forest, saints, Ipswich and west ham would be small premier league clubs
Leeds wouldn't be

I feel sorry for the Donny fan. Not because they were relegated, because he was silly enough to support them when Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Chesterfield are so close.
We don't want him, anyone that silly deserves derision.

Sad to see Donny go down. Yorkshire is what I am and Donny are part of that. Should never of got rid of O'Driscoll. I hope they get back up next season. Good puck to them.

Peacock I doubt that
You remind me of a 40 year old man who hangs around outside schools...

How very dare you. I'm a 27-year-old pervert, not a 40-year-old one.
