Id love to offer some hard luck stories about late goals during that 2007-08 season....

 

Oh here goes

 

We conceded 2 very late goals from a winning position and a drawing one.. they hadnt have gone in we have finished on 14 points not 11

 

 

Well maybe you'll do even better than 14 points in the Prem League next season eh!

[Arriba Los Zorros]

PS still hoping Ipswich somehow muddle their way into the playoffs and winit.

 

Although their team would be lucky to get 5 points in a PL season......

[Steve_Walsh5]

Never been bothered about Ipswich as an away day. A pain to get to and in the championship the charge ridiculous prices. 

 

Sheffield Utd, Derby, Bristol City to come up please. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

Ipswich are a nothing club really, only positives would be Mick on match of the day and Waggy I guess. Aside from that, they're punching above their weight as it is

[Dan LCFC]

I cannot remember a team ever who was as bad for throwing points away as we were that year. It was absolutely unreal.

[The Bear]

I don't want Bristol City to go up whilst Lee Johnson is in charge. Horrible little poison dwarf. Complains constantly, talks shite, and often has his team playing snide diving football.

'Sadly' think both Derby and Forest will be in or near the play-off positions come the end of the season. Their squads are actually quite decent.

Hoping Bristol City keep their form up to make it more interesting.

Forest won't come close. Derby I think could though.

To be fair, doesn't everyone about their team?

That was probably the most entertaining bit about that season

 

God we were awful. Darren Moore up front at one point....

It's be funny to see those shit cvnts Sunderland have back to back relegations. Has that been done in modern times from top flight to third tier? I can't remember.

 

Cardiff & Wolves to come up for me. Would like Derby to come up as well. Close in proximity and easy 6 points as well.

Wolves 2011-2013.

[Blue ROI]

Wolves as corky said.

 

Before that Swindon went up in 92/93 as we know too well but were relegated to the third tier at the end of 94/95.

[Wymsey]

Can't imagine Warnock in the Premier League again.

He only seems to have one way in playing and doesn't tend to be more innovative in his approach against certain teams.

[The Bear]

Yeah we went down to L1 when we really shouldn't have thanks to Dean twatting Saunders. Utter shitehawk.

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Would argue it helped Wolves though, they were forced to change after that, and long term its had a massive positive effect.

 

Same for Leicester, Southampton, even Norwich went on a good run when dropping into the third tier (although its taken Sheff U a bit longer to recover), it has also helped Sheff United aswell.

 

Didnt help Florest though, they seem to stay stagnant alongside us

Not really. We appointed Kenny Jackett and got back up, only to hover around in the division doing exactly what we'd done before because we still had Steve Morgan & Jez Moxey running things as frugally as possible. Plus Jackett never had it in him to get us out of the Championship.

 

It was the new owners who changed everything. Zenga wasn't first choice because we sounded out Marco Silva who was interested but went for the Prem offers. Then Lopetegui turned us down for the Spain job at the last minute after pretty much agreeing to join us. Lambert was just a stop-gap so we didn't go down again after Zenga failed. Nuno was the first manager they really wanted and subsequently managed to get.

[The Bear]

We've certainly got the cash and the connections now to make sure we go up and stop up.

[Super_horns]

Chris Coleman to Sunderland?

 

Said he wanted to test himself in the Champions league !

 

Got mixed up with League One ?

[foxes_rule1978]

Haha and everything is back to normal, Coleman thinks he is some sort of super manager but ends up at Sunderland  beautiful

In many ways it's the perfect club for Coleman, he'll look like a genius if he keeps them up, and if they go down it's the other guy's fault. Win Win.

 

 

 

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Was expecting him to at least hold out for a club like west brom

 

Sunderland ffs, that has to be the most brainless move within the past few years, swaps a cushy international job for a basket case club at the foot of the 2nd tier.

[gurru991]

As long as Sunderland give him a free hand he will keep them up.

Fair comment, although pretty brainless move. Must be the money on offer. He will probably get them to stay up just, but he's on a hiding to nothing. 

 

Turning to who's going up, would prefer Fulham or QPR, can't beat an overnight stay in the smoke. Apart from Leeds, everywhere else is rubbish. But both these teams look like middle table finishes.
