    Will we still qualify as a 'teams like Barnsley' or will we have to give up that tag?

    perhaps we will still be a 'teams like Barnsley' but the meaning will change to being a derogatory term for those teams with billionaire owners and will include the likes of Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal

    We say it ironically when we win, because it means we're actually good/better than expected, so we'll always use it.
