The best league in the world is finally back!

Opening Day (+ Friday)
Leeds United 1 - 0 Wolves
Barnsley 1 - 0 Middlesbrough
Birmingham 1 - 1 Charlton
Burnley 2 - 0 Bolton
Crystal Palace 2 - 3 Watford
Derby 2 - 2 Sheff Wed
Hull 1 - 0 Brighton

I bet you don't see a team in yellow do that very often Olly?

Chalobah (spelling) is a class tallent, he will play for England in the next few seasons. Great player. Never puts a foot wrong.

Watford are the best side in the league, just took a while for there players to gel once they have they have been playing the best football in the league

As much as i want Brighton to go up, Watford deserve it more and they have a better manager.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 26 Apr 2013 - 21:10

Watford remind me a lot of us when we went up.

Great attacking, all over the place at the back

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 26 Apr 2013 - 21:11

Im a little bit worried that Turner has become a cult figure at Norwich. Scrape that barrel boys!

Watford wont survive if they go up. Zola will get them playing lovely football with no backbone. I liked him with us and felt we could have gone on to better things with him and investment, but the defence lacked. When the football on the deck wasnt working then we crumbled to nothing.

You take that back!

Mr Turner has been immense for us this season

Leicester 1-2 Watford Yahoo

If we don't lose tomorrow, the play off spot is ours. Or if Forest don't win the play off spot is ours.

Awesome result for us tonight, come on you seagulls!

I know there are some Leicester fans on here so I dont mean to be mean but I do enjoy Leicesters struggles to get out of the Championship. How they started last season as favourites I dont know. O'Neill return? I think he'd do the job, and I could probably start to like Leicester again if he did. Filbert Street was the first ground I ever swore at haha

Looks like Wolves are relegated for the second season running.

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:45

Series of crap managers and crap management.

Gonna be a fire sale in the summer

by Guest Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:46

Wolves have just got one back, not that it matters.

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:47

Hull are choking.

They host Cardiff next week.

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:54

Pitch invasion at Wolves. Sad

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:56

Bolton only getting a point keeps Leicester alive.

They are still reliant on winning at the CG and hoping Bolton don't win

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 16:58

A Peterborough loss will make the final battle for relegation down to them Wolves and Barnsley.

Barnsley with a 3 point advantage

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 17:03

Palace can seal the playoffs by beating Millwall midweek.

Forest have to better Boltons result, or beat their win by 3 goals.

Leicester have to win and hope Bolton don't.

by jeromedubois Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 17:20

Thought I would give a shout out to Gary Bowyer who seriously work miracles, wonders at Blackburn Rovers. The man is absolute class, humble, down to earth, and sorted us out. The man who has never manager a club, did what our 4 others managers couldn't do.

by Gregers Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 18:20

Can't believe we've made the playoffs, would have bitten your arm off for that at the beginning of the season

Having said that this season could be the hardest playoffs in recent years

by Marky Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 19:33

Looking like Brighton v Palace in the playoff semis as well!

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 20:14

Peterborough winning pretty much spells the end for Wolves. Going to need them and Barnsley to lose and quite a goal swing.

by Guest Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 20:25

In other news Mick McCarthy and Ipswich cruise to safety.

The appointment of Dean Saunders is even more laughable now.

by mystiroakey Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 21:09

Another draw for palace..
Ffs..

by Marky Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 21:16

Wolves going from Old Trafford to Broadfield Stadium in two seasons Laugh

by mystiroakey Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 21:18

A part of me wants palace to get 6th for the show down I have been predicting for half the season..

Brighton palace final..

Brighton palace final..

Yes. Brighton travelling to London to play a London club in their big derby match!

by mystiroakey Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 21:32

Yep the big rivalry hahaha.

Legendary it is....

Anyway.....

As it really is about as legendary as what I ate for dinner last Monday. This could transcend this supposed legend and turn it into a reality

At the very least the ultras will be making a lot of noise.. They are probably making posters, practising sing and dance moves and writing the next classic chant.. Rolling Eyes

Ipswich in 11th! The title is ours next season. Also a category one academy. The future's looking bright for the town.

Bar that huge debt hanging round your neck...

by TopoftheChops Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 22:36

I'm sure the signing of Ricky van Wolfswinkel will help your finances as well...

Not many signings will enhance a clubs finances to be fair.

by GSC Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 22:48

beckham?

Yeah. That's the point. Not many players give more than they take out.

Right answer

Well he'll help keep us in the Premier League and progress, so yes it will help our finances. Especially as we'll probably sell him on for a profit Ok!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 27 Apr 2013 - 23:44

Im still laughing about Michael Turner!

Homophobic abuse is now classed as being a legend?

Also starting on young ball boys?

Also spiting on a player who he broke the leg off?

Sounds like a legend.

Never know if your fishing or just offering your stupid opinion.

Well now you know how the rest of the forum feels deadman

Nick, you've just been banned, don't get yourself into trouble.

GSC, stop trying to bait Nick or you'll be the next to be banned.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 13:34

I have had enough of these false accusations that i am dead man.

by GSC Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 13:40

Ok Tommy

by TopoftheChops Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 14:53

Anyhow, who do we think will win the league 1 playoffs to get into the championship?

by NickisBHAFC Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 15:02

Brentford i hope, i love a terrace.

Swindon or Sheffield United i recon though.

by RonSwanson Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 19:05

Im on my usual "anyone but Sheffield United" bus! Blades suck!

I hope Palace and Brighton dont have to play each other either, Sky will throw out hyperbole like the machine they are!

by mystiroakey Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 19:20

TBH i think its odds on that brighton and palace will be 4th and 5th!

All good for me but i would rather meet in the final!

Your right though it will be built up to the max

by RonSwanson Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 19:28

If it comes to it I'll be rooting for you! I dont think the team finishing third will get it anyway, just missing out can be a blow

by GSC Sun 28 Apr 2013 - 21:17
