What a dire selection. Can we start again?

I'm not sure why either of these teams would be the winner! Surely it should be the club who survived the most rounds. Those clubs that joined the tournament late would always have an advantage. Having said this, I do rather like the Shrews

Sheff Weds should be there, not Southampton as I bodged up my voting last round, thought we were voting for our faves, I'm so dense.

Wow !
I can understand the Southampton of the 70s, 80s & 90s being popular. Family-friendly. Attractive, attacking football. Loyal to managers and players. Discoverers of a plethora of great youngsters. Classic old-fashioned ground. Perennial underdogs, regular cup runs. Home to a bunch of "character" players. Dramatic last day relegation escapologists...
But it has surprised me that the club of the 00s has won this. I would have thought that going bust and changing managers every few months, plus some rather scrappy unappealing teams, would have consigned the club to elimination from this thread.
Nonetheless, as Haven's token Saints supporter, thank you for this very pleasing outcome.

You'd need at least double figures...

numerous others abstained... And your evidence for this..... ? Some of the previous polls had as many as 11 people voting but some people picked up their ball and went home once their team was eliminated. If I did this again, there's every chance there could be a different winner but Southampton won fair and square. I might do something else like this soon. Anyone got any ideas?

Oh God, the Stags would get eliminated straightaway I do think we can do this each season, but next season reverse the clubs up the chop, then we can see how long Southampton stay in...Frag or Thor also mentioned looking to see who survived the longest. Scottish teams as another option?

A non-league survivor would be good! I'd probably base my selections on whether I liked the name of some of the teams though!

Alternatively, do it for a different sport like Rugby or NHL!

Or foreign teams like Barca, Real Madrid, etc?

Some people may have lost interest because of other commitments on here. On the subject of how particular peoples teams got on, i've got no idea how Reading did in the end!
