The Championship (old school Div 2)

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Mar 13, 2015 10:12 am

Its a pretty exciting title and promotion battle in the championship, not seen a league as close as this for years

As far as City are concerned I wouldn't Mind Derby coming up because of the location, but from the others, I have been to Boro, Watford and Norwich, so wouldnt mind a chance to get to Brentford and Bournemouth.

Apparently Bournemouth have money, according to a Bolton lad I was talking to and he said they would spend if they came up.

And funilly enough, most clubs struggle in their first season, & Harry Redknapp, who is currently between jobs, happens to live there.

It's a very exciting run-in in the Championship. I will enjoy following the Football League Show for the rest of the season.

Derby and Norwich please. I have a bias for teams that were in the top flight when I was a kid. Will be interesting to see what happens to wigan. It's a good league. I watch the live games on sky.

very average teams battling it out. Just waiting for a good run toi the finish line to guarantee any one of them an automatic spot.

Looking at the old 2 points per game average and yet top team has only 66 from 36 games. Pretty shabby lot.

Me too, but Watford gets my vote, as my bro is a season ticket holder, so a couple of good bevies if they come up.

I've been thinking about starting a similar thread as the battle for promotion is really heating up (but just haven't been arsed to do so so thanks WW)

Out of the current top 7 clubs there's not really any clubs I dislike so I'm just hoping all those closest to Manchester get up

I've seen all of the top 5 in action once so far this season and none of them impressed me on the day (to convince me they're worth a promotion) but you can't judge any team based on just one game & highlights so for me it's pure guessing who will come up. If I had to pick one it would be Derby or Norwich
