Bristol City: Largest cities that haven't had Premier League team - BBC Sport

Worcester, Bath and even bloody Wells get a mention... once again we're overlooked!

Milton Keynes has; Wimbledon used to be in the Premier League before they moved there.

There's the kick in the teeth I wasn't expecting today with a reminder Plymouth have never been in the Promised Land, apologies, Premier League

It's funny that that's what football fans aspire to, clubs are where they are for a reason. The only way Plymouth will ever get there is with the backing of a shady Saudi Billionaire or Hollywood royalty.

Bristol set to continue being outside of the PL, judging by tonight's scoreline.

another of those double whammy red cards though, I'm convinced they changed the rules so that it's only a red for violent conduct.

Holding and/or pulling without a chance to win the ball is a red when in the penalty area and denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity

It wasn't a simple pull back though, it was part of an attempted tackle. Had he just yoinked him back then I get it but that should've been a yellow and probably decided the entire tie.

It was 100% a red card, all day every day

In what event would it have only been a penalty then? Why do they get penalised twice?
