>it wasn't that long ago that Ipswich finished fifth True, but that was still in the days before the Big Four really forged ahead of the rest of the crowd (not just at home!) and significant divides between the top Premier League clubs and everybody else was formed.
>The Championship, for one, beats it on that score. Agreed! The Championship is great to follow because you'll always have different teams winning, getting promoted and relegated every season. The quality of football is also very good given the amount of money piling into it now. In India (and by extension some of the Gulf countries which capture some of the same satellite feed) it's possible to watch live Championship action every weekend on one of the local sports channels. I don't think you can even do that here, let alone listen to radio commentary for many of the matches! (Not unless it's a region-specific radio station or you subscribe to the club's official website etc).
