Championship Season Topic

First topic message reminder :

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
Ipswich 1 - 1 Blackburn
Leicester 2 - 0 Peterborough
Millwall 0 - 2 Blackpool
Nottm Forest 1 - 0 Bristol City
Cardiff 1 - 0 Huddersfield

Pleased with the Forest win, 1st opening day win in 6 years and I expected us to start slow. Negotiating for 2 right wingers too

Also I wouldn't say Forest are out of this race entirely yet

There are still alot of games to go. But i have this feeling that its destined for a brighton palace play off final.

Forest as well as leicester could creep into second spot- and leicester went on a superb streak. But forrest have been very quiet tbh, just waiting patiently. They could do it i suppose

Nobody outside of your rivalry thinks its destined for Palace Brighton

yeah I am saying that becaise it would be nice to shut them up on here tbh.

They call Palace scum. The only scum on here is the brighton fans bringing up alot of hatred tbh.

Offcourse the way we can play we can hit top 2. And brighton could end up mid table..

Reports that Appleton has been sacked by Blackburn

Seriously a joke of a club now

If its true, who on earth will take that job.

Appears to be true.

I really don't know what to say... Sorry Blackburn fans

Henning Berg got 52 days, Michael Appleton got 67.

Steve Kean got 74 games.

Its mind boggling.

yep its madness

Appleton gets what he deserves really, baffling why he ever took the job in the first place. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Blackburn go down. Venky's are taking apart the club.

Looks as if Kean was doing a half decent job at the start of this season now eh

Watford have been placed under transfer embargo and former owner Laurence Bassini banned from football for three years for financial misconduct.

However, the promotion-chasing club, currently third in the Championship, escaped a points deduction and fine.

The Hornets and businessman Bassini were charged last August with a breach of Football League rules.

One of those breaches related to the transfer of striker Danny Graham to Swansea City in June 2011.

Under the terms of the embargo, Watford can still sign players with prior permission from league officials.

The embargo will last until the end of the summer transfer window on 31 August.

So basically all they have to do is send another bit of paperwork over lol

Apparantly Appleton found out he was sacked via a reporter

All the top teams are faultering.;. This could all be decided last couple fo weeks..

I have a feeling now that Forest are going to some how clinch a top 2!!

Doubt it. They played well yesterday, but Hull and Watford are a lot better IMO.

We beat Hull last week.

But they're too far ahead now.

I'm not best impressed with the fixture list though.

Burnley get an extra day rest and get to stay at home for our game tomorrow. Seems a tad unfair.

Palace make em look pretty ordinary tbh...

Palace must of brought them down to there level.

Yawn. We have played some of best footy this year and all the pundits agree.

But that is the thing about the championship.. Us top clubs Can crush another top club and be crushed the week after..

Great league even if our teams are inconsistent .

This league is retarded.

Birmingham 0-3 Wolves

jokes

GWAN BARNSLEY! Love the tykes me! I see Cardiff are so bored of trying to throw the league that they are just gonna go win it now

Leicester in serious trouble of falling out of touch with the playoffs.

With things the way they stand, Peterborough in the relegation zone are 7 points off 10th place with a game in hand.

It's so ridiculous it's beyond the joke!

I wish Sky would be told they arent allowed Championship and Prem football and BBC could take the Championship and give it loads more coverage. Great league, Premier League clubs dont remember that its the strength of that division that makes the top one so good

Barnsley miss a penalty, could that be the turning point for Leicester?

Pen for Birmingham

Its been a lot of minutes since my boys have scored..

Come on Palace...

Hmmm Mr Holloway, not doing a good job recently

Nobody wants a playoff spot

10 men as well. omg

Pearson won't be at Leicester much longer

Birmingham 2-3 Wolves - What a game, watched it

Forest score last minute penalty.

They're gonna go up, mark me words

MCGUGAN

Nah, we're out of autos now, and we never win in the playoffs

Late goals, Henri Lansbury in your team, you're nailed on

Hull win tomorrow and top 2 is basically decided

We're the worst playoff team ever.

Jokes..

gutted...

3 losses on the spin

Anyway, 3 points off Leicester, 3 points off Palace. Brighton 2 points behind.

Good point to save, keep the run going. Need to address the slight dip against Blackpool on sat though

Suspect the top 6 are set. Leicester dont look capable of reversing this run

Bottom half is a joke, Ipswich get a great draw at millwall yet other teams keep winning!

7 points seperating 8th and 22nd. Insane

Fantastic results for the Albion!

Leeds are an awful football team. How are they not nearer the bottom?

Their reaction after the missed penalty was criminal. They just stood still.

Don't be talking like that about our feeder club Freeky!

Well for your sake I hope you've had your fill cos there's no more meat left on that carcass of a football club.

They'll be in League One before they get back into the big time.

You gotta say if Warnock can't turn them around, they're in trouble. He may be a bit of a Muppet, but he's one of the best at that level

Byram?

And that young lad Dawson looks half decent. Byram is a very good player, I know WBA were linked
