Charlton exist. I'm sure they actually don't. You hear about them from time to time but there's not really any worthwhile proof that they do exist. They've not done anything anyone actually remembers.

The Championship is a Mickey Mouse league.

 

The standard of the Championship gets better every year.

The standard of the Championship gets better every year.

 

Not sure I agree.

 

This was a weak Championship in 2012-2013, Cardiff and Hull were underwhelming considering they were promoted automatically.

 

Swansea were significantly better than either of them two years ago and had to settle for the play-offs.

[Kitchandro]

Lampard, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Terry, Cole.

 

These guys were surely world class at their peak? (ironically Euro 2008 should have been their peak tournament  )

 

No, never. Gerrard maybe borderline, since he's actually put in some decent performances when the pressure of the whole nation has been on him. Then again he's never quite inspired like he did for Liverpool.

I put that as a myth, so I agree

And the Midlands doesn't exist

[MC Prussian]

Lamby doesn't care about Leicester.

[Lamby]

After how many seasons?

[Corky]

Oh right.

 

Other clubs get out after 1.

[Guest Bilo]

They're passionate about their football in the North East.

 

NB: They are; but no more than Midlands fans are, or fans in the North West or Yorkshire etc etc.

[Webbo]

Fans of Man U,Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea are more knowledgeable about football than fans of "smaller" clubs.

[SystonFox]

Ian holloway is a genuine comedian

[Kitchandro]

Sloop John B is the only song fans are legally allowed to make chants out of.

[Pride_Of_The_Midlands]

And the Midlands doesn't exist

 

I find it's more that:

 

Birmingham/West Midlands = The Midlands and that the East Midlands doesn't exist.

mark hughes is a good manager.

[peach0000]

Automatic promotion is almost gone lets just get into the playoffs and everything will be good.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Being the England captain is a huge honor.

[ScouseFox]

Harry Redknapp is a t'riffic manager and generally all round good bloke.

[Danizen]

Harry Redknapp is a t'riffic manager and generally all round good bloke.

In a similar vein, AVB is totally useless. How dare he accept the job that Redknapp was sacked from.
