The Championship 2017-18

[Saoirse]

Looks like Bolton have played their get out of jail free card here!


Edit: And PNE have just scored late on, too. Burton were singing about Forest before and now they are going down.

Another example of too little, too late. If teams like them and West Brom had shown half this much fight for most of the season...

Cardiff go up then. Are they better than the teams that went up last season? I get the impression that they're at a similar level to Huddersfield.

 

[SpursD22]

You just know Pulis-led Middlesbrough are going to win the playoffs and the PL will be stuck with the two antichrists of football.

I do believe Fulham will win the playoffs but hope Villa wins it because of Onomah

Huddersfield are a decent team. But Cardiff seems very uninspiring

Bolton? they stayed up by scoring two in the last 5 mins and winning.

Burton went down because of that and because PNE scored against them straight after.

 

[Clark28]

hope Villa win the last spot and that Josh is the reason why.

would also mean Fulham don't go up, so getting Sess would supposedly be easier.

Huddersfield = decent and useful. Cardiff? Decidedly not. Completely useless.

Burton I was talking about. Won three in a row before this to have a chance but it wasn't enough.

I've only seen Cardiff play today and they looked quite poor, but they've got more points than Huddersfield did last season scoring more and letting in around half the goals they did. Maybe it was just a tougher league last season.

Cardiff is useless. They were useless there year in the prem and continue to be useless. And neil fucking warnock’s their manager. Bloke belongs in gringotts bank. Not the PL. Dreadful, dreadful football.

I was at Forest v Cardiff in November and Cardiff bossed that game, but Forest were pretty poor, offered no attacking threat, and it was right before Warburton was sacked. Cardiff's main striker Danny Ward was excellent in that game but has missed the whole the second half of the season with injury.

They were classic Warnock though. Loads of power, loads of hard men, little entertainment.

 

[spurs mental]

So you'd be willing to miss out on one of the highest rated young players in the country because you're worried that a manager might use dirty tactics against us in two games next season?

2 games yea. But if one or two of our players were to get a bad injury it effects more than those two games

 

[nailsy]

Yeah, and signing an eighteen year old could give us a player that we could use for years. It just seems strange to me that people are that worried about the style of play, but it's all about opinions.

 

[Thewobbler]

PL going to be weak next year.

 

[VegasII]

Not Championship, but I've noticed that MK Dons have been relegated to league 2. What the hell happened there? They're now lower than AFC Wimbledon.

The Gods of Football finally got something right.

*Seriously though, MK have been badly mismanaged for a few seasons and taken risks with their managerial appointments, appointing people like the England U16 boss who'd never managed at senior level, but they've not worked out well for them.

**Also, Wycombe's promotion sees them rise above MK and return to their rightful status as the biggest club in Buckinghamshire. #UpTheBlues.

Im rooting for Boro or Derby to get the last spot. I like new blood in the prem and they've been out the longest.

Boro? Errrmmmmm

[Pellshek]

I'd forgotten Pulis went to Boro. The crafty old dog has them in the PO's and you wouldn't bet against them. But Boro is a long trip for Spurs, their football sucks, their stadium is miserable, and they're just boringly familiar, so I won't be rooting for them.

Fulham I wouldn't at all mind coming up - great ground, good football, short trip for Spurs.

Villa would be fine for me too - great club, great ground, an interesting club to have around the PL.

Derby I wouldn't mind either simply because they haven't been up in ages, have a decent support and ground, and would just be a bit different.


TL/DR: ABB
