Didn't happen with Villa though. Took them 2 seasons to get back up, and the 2nd season was only through the play offs

I find it interesting the diffo between match going fans and armchair fans. For match going fans very little changes. if anything they will enjoy a season doing well in the Champ more than their PL seasons. they still go to the same ground, with the same mates, go through the same routines and rituals, watch the same clubs etc. Armchairs fans only have what's served up to them on telly, and Spurs not being on super sunday/match of the day etc, and having non glamorous opponents may be offputting

The flip of course is under the new EFL deal, it is likely that every game will be available live for armchair fans via legal channels.

Liverpool's start to the season helps mask what a disaster it has been. Since that fifth win, just nine victories in their next 26 league games. Appalling.

Spurs won five of their first nine - and just two since. They've conceded at least two goals in all but one of their last 12 league games (1-1 with Liverpool). Just seven clean sheets in 31 league games this season - yet they managed six in eight Champions League group games.

Unsurprisingly Spurs only point in their last 7 league games is that draw at the other comedians in the division, Liverpool.

Blimey.

I think Leeds are far from safe, may be Spurs’s only hope.

Dumped into the bottom 3 by their mates from the East End.

Come on Sunderland.

Same, just feel they will somehow find a win or two somewhere and sneak it - they have Brighton (H) next before a trip to Wolves who may already be down. If they fail to win either of those, then it could well be that the writing is on the wall.

Looking at the fixtures, just don't see where Spurs are picking up the points. This weekend is a big game, home to Brighton. Lose that and it's curtains I think.

Brighton have won 5 off the last 6, so will be a tough game.

It's close now. Leeds 6 points clear and still have the bottom 2 to play at home. This weekend, Spurs host in form Brighton while Forest host Burnley. A Forest win and Spurs loss creates another 6 point gap. That just leaves West Ham, who have actually been pretty good in 2026 after looking dead and buried at Christmas.

Basically, Brighton is a tough game and Spurs have to win it.

Spurs would be the biggest story/LOL

But for me, spurs or West Ham, happy for either to go down

It's just a huge shame Reading aren't in the Championship - would be great to have them in the same league.

Still though - League One is shaping up to have a lot of "big clubs" in - at least in terms of typical league one level
