I get bored of seeing comments like this. If teams aren't where people expect them to be, and other teams overachieve, people just say "the league is poor". Not just Championship either but every league. We need more teams overachieving, in every league, so we don't just have leagues as expected prior to the season starting. Still annoys me when neutrals refer to our Premier League win as "poor league". When did all this even start.

 

Like I said at the top of the thread, Hull had a transfer embargo and an "unproven" new manager. They weren't expected to be anywhere near top 6 but fair play to them they've had a great season.

I agree with this sentiment in general but sometimes the league is just relatively poor. I remember times when some really good teams playing good attacking football missed out on promotion from this division, and even decent sides were relegated from the Prem.

 

English football is on its arse, IMO.

It annoys me most with our title winning season when people say this.

 

You'd never hear anyone say it about some of the titles Man United won despite some of them being a much better example of a poor league.

Yeah and the fallout from the following match that Austria and West Germany deliberately left at 1-0 to ensure both of them went through at Algeria's expense is both the reason that my dad a) warned me that Germany was a country of cheats before I moved here and b) almost all competitions now play the last game of a group or league stage at the same time. 

Yes, it was the Austria v West Germany game that made sure all final games, in all competitions it seems, kick off simultaneously.

Kicking off a bit in the Boro game. 

 

Harwood-Bellis appears to have said something to Ayling after a foul. 

 

Then the managers seems to have had a bit of verbals.

Wondering what was said to have seemingly really pissed Eckert off as well
