Its an addition to the "Honours Won" in the club history. Nowhere does it say "Runners up" because runners up is gash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously winning the Prem is the be all and end all but winning any league is a major honor. Yes I totally agree m But what makes the Premiership any better , It's only the money involved. It's still 20 teams competing against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league will be nice to win for this season to us (if we win it) but won last years championship is pretty irrelevant to Burnley or Sheffield United this season and trying to stay in the premier league. It's about showing fight, are we winning because we have superior players or because we have the mentality to win every game? If we fall off and finish second it suggests that we are getting promoted on player quality rather than mentality, which is a bad recipe for staying up in the PL because we will no longer have that player quality advantage. Some of the better promoted sides came up through the playoffs rather than automatics, the reason why they did better in the PL is because they had to fight to get through the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a capitulation. It will be a good measure of McKenna to see if he can get heads straightened out in 3 days to face another quality side. Their season may depend on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 23 December 2023 Share Posted 23 December 2023 Losing today wouldn't necessarily have been bad for Ipswich. Being massively outplayed is gonna hurt though. If they don't beat us then they'll be looking over their shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them to the sword and we’ll kill their season. Wouldn’t have minded a draw here or even an ipswich win just to keep Leeds further away if we win would rather any other team than leeds go up to just to see their meltdown at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please win it, add it to our record books, but it cannot be compared to an EPL title, so struggle to see it as major as that is all. Anyway, 3 points against Rotherham please chaps.

The most important thing is to ensure we are promoted, not finish first or we stay in this league and try again.

It's just a grading system, it doesn't really mean your the best in the country just that accumalated the most points. You can just as easily be beaten by a lower league team, But that doesn't make them better than you either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its relative I think. It is definitely a tier down from the EPL title and FA Cup and I don't think that anyone is arguing that it isn't, but you can still consider it a major honour below those. Lets be honest, the prem title is not realistically repeatable and we may have to wait another hundred years for an FA Cup, so for us, an eighth second tier title should be considered a major honour.
