Championship 2012/13

Recommended Posts

Posted

From today's 'Popbitch' newsletter "Fans of which Championship football club have been wondering why local TV reports on their team have increased significantly lately? Could it be because their season has been going with a swing again? Or could it be because the manager and a sports reporter have been enjoying what a fan source describes as a "dabble"? She's even been on a club trip abroad with him.

Who could they mean???????

Still can't believe she was right in front of our lot at Brighton and we didn't make her pay. You wouldn't even paper bag her- the nose would pierce through

If Billy's had a crack then I'd have to take my hat off to him, the crafty bastard.

But no, defo wouldn't fancy touching owt he's creamed on so I've changed my mind.

So, who will follow Bristol City into League One?

My bet is on Wolverhampton (it all went so wrong after McCarthy was forced to leave) and Blackburn (it's the Venky's Effect).

Really is a crazy fight this season, so many teams in real danger. Hudders have it in their own hands as they've got Millllllll at home, Brizzle away and Barnsley at home on the last day which will probably be enormous. Unfortunately think Blackburn will survive, just. Think Wolves probably will too.

Brizzle, Barnsley and Posh for me.

Aren't Posh unbeaten in like 12 games or something? And still in the shit. Amazing. Whoever goes down will be about two results from a top half finish. Stupid.

This is the most competitive relegation fight since we got relegated to league 1 in 2008, and likely to be the most competitive in the last 10+ years.

We were relegated on 52 points, with Southhampton above us, safe on 53.

Our points total was the highest points total anyone's been relegated on in the last 11 years.

Now considering the table looks like this at the minute:

19th - Blackburn - 42 played - 53 points

20th - Peterborough - 43 played - 51 points

21st - Wolves - 43 played - 51 points

22nd - Huddersfield - 43 played - 51 points

23rd - Barnsley - 43 played - 50 points

Surely teams will need at least 54 or 55 points to be safe? Quite possible more. It's just crazy.

----------------------------

EDIT: In fact looking on Statto - can't see a points total needed this high at all, even going back into the 80s - although the league has been slightly smaller over some of those years, so that might explain it.

And that also correlates with the top 6 I reckon that will the lowest ever needed for example I can see 68 being enough.

Barnsley and Huddersfield. They play each other on the final day! Massive game with tons at stake. Anyone reckon Beckford will keep them up (did the business vs Wolves last weekend).

Wolves face Brighton away on the final day - not gonna be easy if they have to get a result their and Brighton have to get a result for play-offs.

Similar situation for Peterborough. Although it must be sick to know you're unbeaten in so many games and still in the thick of it lol.

The league is shocking!

Need Hull to win

I agree.

When you see a performance from the 2nd placed team like this it beggars belief that we can be so far behind them.

The championship, it's all about competitiveness, but with little to no consistent quality.
