The Championship Thread 2023/2024

Ipswich and West Brom to go up for me.

[fazzyfox]

I’ve been envious of neutrals this season and can now sort of - (“anyone but Leeds”) join them, some cracking games coming up. If WBA play like they did vs us I’d ignore the points difference and give them every chance to be a late party spoiler in the play offs.

That performance against us seems like an anomaly, they're in horrific form.

Hey Leeds “ I predict the play offs, I predict the play offs” 

[Chelmofox]

Over to Ipswich to thumb Cov. Just make this all the sweeter please. 

[Corky]

On an unrelated note, the Huddersfield manager looks like Jay's dad from the Inbetweeners.

I feel a lot better about wanting an Ipswich win than I did thinking about needing/wanting a Cov win. Come on the tractor boys!

10 game form. We somehow went from relegation form to champions in a week. Madness. Whats clear is every team started to drop points.

You gotta love this team and this division … just not together anymore.

Just did some stats crunching and the last time a team got 90 points or more and didn't get automatic promotion was Sunderland in 1997-98. I don't believe it's ever happened to anybody with more on the board. 

It's potentially going to make Leeds, the "best team in the league", the first team to do so in 26 years. Because a random team from League One showed up and put together what in half of the past 10 campaigns would have been league-winning form.

Please, please smash Cov and do the business to consign them to the Playoffs. It will be the funniest thing ever.

Good morning to the biggest bitch of a hangover I can remember for many years. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m still 30% rum.

What a great season in the end for us. Leeds fans moaning about how much better they would be if their team had been sorted the first few weeks of the season so we had a 17 point lead and to stop them moaning have it up key them go above us for a bit and still end up winning the league. Cov fans getting excited after beating us dreaming of an fa cup final and play off win and woke up in a bowl of their sisters piss.

 

[FrankieADZ]

i kinda want Ipswich to draw or even lose but then do it at Portman Road and Leeds crumble at home to Southampton, just for the Leeds tears

 

shame we wont see them till later on since well we have a trophy presentation 

[trugerkem]

Come on you tractor boys 

[Daggers]

I am so Ipswich for their last two matches I’m going to watch every episode of Clarkson’s farm and change my real name to Massey Ferguson. 

[UniFox21]

So many Leeds fans offended by the I predict a riot, despite months of chants about us 

[Daggers]

Ahh, turns out we don’t have to root for Ipswich, Sky has already decided three of the teams fighting in the playoffs

Fairly standard Leeds social media behaviour

Really don’t get that lot. There’s literal video of your shit fans and players goading ours. Glad our boys are giving some back.

 

Classic childish fan base who can give it but can’t take it 

[Foxdiamond]

After all the talk about our wobble when it came to the crunch both Leeds and Ipswich crumbled under the pressure as soon as we were out of the top two and we recovered when it mattered 

[fazzyfox]

Spoilt for forum choices tonight, Foxes Talk of course, Leeds or Ipswich. Or maybe bring the lap top and ipad next to the PC and TV and have my own VAR room style overview of the night, popcorn essential 

[Finnegan]

r/Championship is the most hilariously bitter place on social media right now

 

It's been a fairly funny sub all season because they do that through-gritted-teeth thing where they pretend everyone is friendly and it's all banter but there's so much jealous needle in there, especially given its 70% Leeds and Sunderland fans, it's ****ing hilarious. 

 

Right now every post is either snide comments about us having more money and better players or just saying we'll be back next year anyway because obviously we're getting a 100 point deduction and we're crap really.

 

So much copium. I've never seen so much.

It seems so weird that Leeds have gone from breathing down our necks to being 7 points behind. Yikes, Championship!
