Championship - 2019/2020

[Brainy]

Is there a more ridiculous question than asking a footballer if he has a preference as to which team he would like to play in the final?

I want to strangle this pissing commentator 

"Swansea step on Brentford's toes, knock on their door, piss in their garden and say "We are here".

The whole "brotherhood" or "win together" cliches are really overused in modern football

Think it's been said on here before but Liam Rosenior really is a great pundit and seems to be a really nice guy too.

"Band Of Brothers".

Really can't stand the Championship commentary (or any football commentary for that matter) always looking for a bloody soundbite rather than just commentating. Need to realise it is ok to leave a period of silence without a shitty fact or stat. Also what is with the three man commentary team? Why not just bin off Don Goodman and bring in Mick McCarthy on his own.

My current most hated phrase in football is 'go again' - sprung up five or so years back and has hung around like a shite that won't flush

He either makes it all up or is very passionate about his job and does a lot of research and asks a lot of questions. Some of the things that are said though must be repeated virtually every time the same team plays? Even in the 94th minute last night he started waffling on about some random story/fact.

2 goals in 24seconds, play offs are brilliant as a neutral

[StanSP]

Entertaining start. 

 

Cardiff score. Fulham equalise barely a minute later. 

[ealingfox]

Cardiff have been excellent.

The number of apologies is getting infuriating 

[Leicester_Loyal]

So bored of hearing 'apologies if you're offended by any language you may have heard' every 5 minutes.

Not sure whether he means the players or his own commentary.

Sheff. Wednesday hit with a 12point penalty

This season? Does that mean they're down? 

[Fox in the North]

Next season, lucky buggers!

[Corky]

Aitor Karanka to Birmingham. I bet he had dreams when playing for Real Madrid of forging a glittering managerial career tour of the Championship and pretty much copying Garry Monk.

Applies for next season for some reason. Relates to them selling their stadium and including it in the previous years books to balance them

[Fox92]

League One is becoming a league for once big clubs.

Going to be another messy situation regarding the Sheff Wednesday points deduction. How do they determine the points get deducted next season and not this. Whichever way it went was going to cause trouble I suppose.
 

Charlton are bound to be fuming and are already considering legal action.

Don’t know the full ins and outs of what they did wrong though really.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Why did Wigan get a points deduction for this season but Sheff Weds get theres next? Why couldn't both hearings been done before the end of the season or both done after?

I suppose there’s just different regs for administration and failing to comply with FFP. Not that it makes it any better or worse mind you.
