The Championship

[Tony Towner]

Sheff Utd are fine, bigger than Burnley surely. If we're looking at 'smaller' clubs then it would probably be Saints or Leicester, not that I think either are anywhere near the level of Norwich/Bournemouth/Watford.

Sorry missed Burnley.
Sheff Wed, Sunderland and Derby are the 3 that would be below their level next season if my promo/relegation scenario played out

Albion losing

 

[Jabbawolf]

That equaliser should have been ruled out for offside.

 

[The Bear]

Leeds up and the Baggie Bottlers in trouble. Lovely. I'm a Brentford supporter for the next week then.

I wonder if Leeds will sell Douglas now

 

[Lupo]

Come on Brentford, do it for Natalie Sawyer!

Only if he's late for training...

 

[Tredman]

Quite glad Leeds are coming up, I like the way they play and much more worthy of a place in the premier league than Bournemouth etc.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Their games against Manchester United and Chelsea could be fun watches. Absolute hate in those rivalries.

 

[jd1981]

Put it this way if Watford or Bournemouth drop out and replaced by Leeds the PL is a stronger more attractive league. Not a huge fan of Leeds but can’t deny club size that they’re not out of place in the PL.
I think they’ll be ok next season, probably mid table to bottom half.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I can’t see Brighton letting them buy White so that is one big gap to fill. Plus Bamford is nowhere near standard so they will need a forward too.

 

[Tony Towner]

Club size and all that absolutely, could do without their fans though. One of those who come with a conquer mentality particularly pre game from the train station via town to the ground

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Assuming there are fans for the fixture I would expect strict door rules for the pubs and a healthy WMP presence.

Bilic is already talking about the playoffs.
Could this be their choke season?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think it might. And they will be profoundly fucked if they don’t go up.

 

[The Weasel]

Oh please, that would be so perfect wouldn't it. Come on you Bees!

I would like to think if they didn’t go up I wouldn’t rub it in, but as a fan base they’ve rubbed our faces in it big time for a long time.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We were 11 points clear in the choke. And that was horrendous. The shit were FIFTEEN points clear.

 

[The Weasel]

Don't wanna jinx it, but I would LOVE it...

 

[jd1981]

We were 11 points clear in the choke. And that was horrendous. The shit were FIFTEEN points clear.

I still remember the horror of their last minute winner at Bradford and them in invading the pitch. Had they drew that day we’d have gone up instead.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That brief flicker of hope when we took the lead at Hillsborough, sniffed out within minutes. It was horrible.
