The Championship 2011/12 Season Thread

[Peter Parka]

Seeing that now there will be at least 2 people, me and skyblue wanted to talk about this, I thought I'd start a thread up. :thumbup Obviously still more transfer activity to go on but to start it off, what are your predictions for it?
Mine -

Winners - West Ham
Runner Ups - Leicester
Play Offs Promoted - Middlesbrough
Relegated - Barnsley
Doncaster
Crystal Palace

 

[skyblue]

at least you haven't got us going down

sadly i can see leicester winning it,fucking inbreds:nod:

 

[Peter Parka]

All kicks off this weekend! :thumbup Our first game is at home to Cardiff on Sunday. Live on BBC1. :thumbup

 

[Springsteen]

I'll be watching a bit of that before our game. Blackpool vs Hull on Friday night should be interesting to see how Blackpool acclimatize back to the Championship after their Premier League year.

Tough match, Hull were equal to them, Blackpool snatched a late winner. Blackpool 1 Hull 0.

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah that's about fair. I think it was more important for Blackpool to get a good performance than Hull really, even though Hull were at home. That said I don't think Blackpool will get back up, while it's a good team which will get results I think the other teams will be stronger, but we'll see.

 

[Peter Parka]

I think Blackpool will probably be skirting around the edge of the playoff places. Even if they do scrape in, I can't see them going up.

Leicester off to a winning start against Coventry today, Leeds got hammered, our turn to set the standard tomorrow, can't wait!

 

[skyblue]

the visitors end was like a scene from 'the hills have eyes'...inbreds.........they robbed us by the way,a draw was a fair result

Must have been watching a different game from me because the one I saw, Coventry never ever looked like winning.

 

[Peter Parka]

Only a couple of hours to kick off in our first game of the season, can't remember a time when I've been this excited about a new season, can't wait! COYI! :nanners:

 

[Peter Parka]

Lucky Cardiff but can't complain, that's what happens when you dont take your chances. Why is that waste of space, Ilunga, still here? :thumbdown

 

[Peter Parka]

Off and running! Doncaster 0 West Ham 1, also thanks to Leicester losing 2-0, we're above them on goal difference.

 

[skyblue]

in 2 games we've have something like 22 decent goal scoring chances but not scored

 

[skyblue]

things get worse,first we have to play the first 2 games with 7 of andy thorns first 11 injured,now 2 more face fitness tests for tonights game at palace......we'll be fielding the under 17's soon

 

[skyblue]

great stuff,now macsheffrey limps off to be replaced by someone called joshua ruffels

 

[Peter Parka]

Watford 0 West Ham 4. Now 3rd, up and running! Lets smash this league!

 

[skyblue]

it bugs me that when clubs like man united and chelsea have 3 first team players injured they have an injury crisis in the press,even though they could probably field 2 international teams.....yet we go into the first 3 games with 7 first team players out,with a very small squad at that,we have macsheffrey limp of at 22 minutes,and lose all 3 by the solitary goal,even though the side is full of teenagers with no experience,yet in the press we're shit and doomed for relegation

 

[Peter Parka]

Leicester lost again tonight. Brighton are looking good.

 

[Peter Parka]

And Leicester only scrape a draw today. Major shock of the day, Peterborough hammering Ipswich 7-1! :eek
