The Championship

[Vermilion]

Di Canio not a happy bunny, big time charlies from the championship not his cup of tea.

Said he thought he had changed the culture of the club, but it seems 'the lads'..went out on the razzle after more or less securing promotion.

Di Canio, does not like this.

Said there is one player in particular at the club now, that he will never accept to play there next season.

Di Canio lost his Mother last week apparently, maybe it was a case of..'while the cats away', and the players took advantage, said he intends to change the whole fabric of the club next season.

So, watch this space, should be fun.

EDIT: Well, not this exact space, i mean....i won't be updating or anything.

Any interview available from the nutter yet?

[Bender]

Well done reading back in the prem

[Darkon]

Well done to them indeed. It seems likely that Southampton will be coming back as well after an incredible season considering they are newly promoted. Personally looking forward to having Southampton back in the top flight.

West Ham and Brimingham will then be favorites for the playoff spot I think.

deffo southampton for 2nd .............as for the play off winners am gonna go for Birmingham

[Gingawaria]

Seems to be a trend emerging as didn't Norwich go straight up after gaining back to back promotions as well?

West Ham is not on the best of form right now, it will be close between them. Don't really fancy Blackpool and doubt Cardiff are good enough over two games to beat either WH or BH.

[Gingawaria]

If you look at form, it's Cardiff for me. However they always choke. I actually think Blackpool could do it again.

[Bender]

Brian McDermott's side were not at their best but have now secured 46 points from a possible 51.

They found themselves down in 16th on 1 November after a slow start to the season, but a run of 15 wins in the last 17 games has propelled them up the league.
With owner John Madejski on the brink of selling the club to Russian tycoon Anton Zingarevich's Thames Sports Investment group, the future now looks bright in Berkshire.bbc

Anton Zingarevich's net worth is estimated at $750 million, earning him 130th place in the Forbes rich list. .......

How I'd love for us to go on a run like that. Very impressive.

[Gingawaria]

That's an excellent run they've been on, especially in The Championship which is a pretty tough league!

[Gingawaria]

Playoffs starting tonight. West Ham v Cardiff then Blackpool v Birmingham tomorrow.

Think it'll be a Cardiff v Blackpool final again. Hoping so anyway as a mate of mine's a massive Blackpool fan and has offered to get me a ticket for the final which'd be pretty cool.

[ChesterDave]

Watching the Football League Show tonight and the standard of refereeing in this league is ****ing atrocious.

I thought the PL/top level football in general was poor but this is utterly dreadful.
