For some reason I always think of Stoke and QPR as our closest comparators in terms of how we've fared since being relegated - QPR because they came up with us and Stoke because they went down at the same time (and because their fans always tipped us for relegation every season we were in the Prem, like clockwork). With 62 seasons in the top flight compared to QPR's 23 and our nine, I imagine Stoke fans must be even more annoyed about the last few seasons than we are. I must say I have a visceral dislike for Stoke and the way they play football, whereas I often find QPR annoying but it comes and goes.
