There's just one week of football left to play this season, and still neither Middlesbrough, Newcastle or even Sunderland are safe yet. What is it about clubs from the North-East? They're all big clubs, and yet they languish at the in the bottom half of the table year in year out.
In yesterday's Irish Times, Tom Humphries suggested that Celtic and Rangers be allowed to leave the SPL and join the Premiership. Not a bad idea, and Humphries argues his case very well. But how about a mini-league instead? I imagine that the Old Firm clubs play at roughly the same level as the teams from the North-East. And geographically, they're close enough as well.
Wouldn't it be easier for all concerned if they were all thrown into a mini-league, sponsored by NTL of course, where mediocrity could truly flourish?
