Basically, listening to 5 Live sport last night I heard a caller mention this but only touch on it as it wasn't his main point.
What he mentioned was clubs from London, so your Arsenal's, Chelsea's, Tottenham's, West Ham's, Fulham's etc... are at a disadvantage to other clubs in the League(s) because of the number of derbies they face each season.
I think we would all agree that all derbies add a little more bite and excitement to games, and take us for example. Man City, Liverpool....Everton and Bolton to an extent...are our regular derbies for the season. Take Arsenal for the London example, they have derbies with Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham and all of them will go at it when they play with upsets more likely.
Either way, I thought it was an interesting view and I can see where the view was being made from.
What do ya think?
BTW, I think he was a Wolves fan..
