WBA V Watford

[STFC_Gazzza]

Cracking game of football I thought..... WBA are def the best footballing side outside of the Premier League. They ooze class  

[Bogus Dave]

If they are the best footballing side outside the premiership why are they not running away with the league.

It pisses me off people keep going on about how good the championship is - the fact of the matter is that its so close because the teams in it just aren't very good.

I personally think the Championship is the best division in England... Unpredicatble, good football, some top players from the Premier League are dropping down now just to get a regular game and is making the division a lot better and more interesting. James Beattie and Shola Ameobi this season. I have actually enjoyed watching Championship football this season.

Exciting for the neutral yes. Its not breeding good teams though

[Bedford Red]

The teams who come up this season are all going to be like Derby, there are no teams in the top 6 i can see avoiding being immediately relegated.

 I've just realised that Derby are now on the way to taking our worst Prem goal difference record....well done to Paul Jewell....a classic example of a pointless change of manager.

James Beattie is shite

[swindon-chap]

James Beattie and Shola Ameobi are both shite.
The Championship is just a second home for the premiership rejects. Each team that goes up this season will go down next season.
People say teams like West Brom play fantastic football, but they're not walking the league are they? The players in The Championship are just not good enough for the top-flight.

so what is league one? the place for cast offs from the championship?

i think you've answerred your own point: if the players were good enough to be in the premiership they'd be playing there!

This thread is a revelation, Championship teams aren't as good as Premiership teams? GET TEH FOOK.

Based on that logic, are you suggesting we should do away with promotion and relegation because it is pointless? There are some players at Championahip clubs who are good enough for the Premiership. Maybe not an aweful lot, but if you look at teams like Reading and Sunderland they've gone up and held their own with a bunch of players people assume are shite
