Re: The Championship 2021/22/23/24

I’ve been half-watching the Bournemouth - Forest game, and every time I look up, Forest seem to be denied a clear free-kick or penalty.

Stop looking up then. They’ll be getting pissed off with you.

They just had a grotesque montage of “Cherries” fans celebrating. One particularly gruesome specimen was definitely Adrian Durham.

A vile, amorphous, orange blob?

Yes.

The locals are now on the pitch.

Sky just described them as "this special club".

Christ.

They should be in the fucking bin. Pointless little club.

I'm thrilled. For some reason we crap ourselves every time we go there so expect another grim defeat next season.

Expect another yo yoing next season with Scotty on the scrapheap again. Let their fans jump up and down for a bit, they'll come back down to earth soon enough.

Seriously though. People talk about the top of the Premier League and Champions League basically being a closed shop, but the Championship is no better.

You’ve a group of clubs whose raison d’être is to bob between the top two divisions. Happy to pocket the PL cash while in it, which then renders them uncompetitively wealthy when they get relegated to the Championship.

Fulham and Bournemouth will do the same again. Invest the bare minimum in terms of squad and infrastructure, eventually go down again and have the money to spend to easily piss promotion back up.

Agreed.

I see Fulham pulling out all the stops despite already being promoted, against a team trying to secure a play off place.

Went past the Boggies ground this morning. Loads of rotund, middle aged baldies in their bar code shirts going for their pint and chips two hours before a meaningless game against a relegated club. Quite a demographic.

[Carlos J]

4-1 down against Preston. With Sheff Utd and Luton winning, suppose it doesn't matter.

[kancutlawns]

Fulham mullered.

They’ll be back down at the end of next season. Another yo-yo side like Norwich and West Brom who don’t really serve a purpose in the Prem.

Looks like Birmingham City is about to be sold to a UK consortium. Thank God, it will mean the end of a torturous period since Sullivan and the Golds sold up to two Hong Kong groups. They even sold the shrine, which we are about to get back.

KRO.
