SkyBet Championship 2014/15, the most difficult league to get out of.


Relegated from the Premier League last season, and so automatic favourites to return from whence they came, are cool and good lads Norwich City, the Welsh lot from Cardiff, and the Cottagers from Fulham.

Promoted teams from League One include Wolverhampton Wanderers, who could break into the top 6 in their first season back, Rovram United, who will return from whence they came, and Brentford. I have no clue about Brentford.

Fulham have made the biggest signing so far in the summer transfer window by stealing Ross McCormack from fellow promotion favourites Leeds United AFC, for a discount £11,000,000. McCormack will probably help his new club gain immediate promotion, which is deeply sickening. Derby and Wigan will probably do well. Norwich will be up there.

Blackpool have 10 players to choose from so far, so expect them to struggle. Millwall are pretty bad. Brentford are probably not strong enough to stay up, nor Rovram, but there's some bad teams competing for those three relegation spots so it's a very hard thing to predict.

Leeds, the biggest club in the division by a long way (lots of leeds fans in this forum) with their influx of Italian gods, and a manager nobody in the world had heard of six months ago, will either win the league by miles, or get relegated before christmas. Boro, another club popular with users in this forum, will finish below Leeds, or I have to pay more money to my bestest friends at man utd, probably. (They will play each other in the second game of the season, broadcast live on Sky Sports).

The opening fixtures, and league table:

They've just signed Delfouneso again so they now have 12 contracted players.

Leeds could only win their cup final thanks to a dodgy ref. My £10 is as safe as it has been for the last three seasons in a row.

yeah a club we have no rivalry with other than being part of the same county, at home, is def our cup final

'Boro is not a massive massive game' all the Leeds fans rushed to post.

it isn't even one we look for at any point when the fixtures come out, but boro fans love to think there's a massive rivalry, same as teams like sheff wednesday and bratfud.

also, I think we won 1-0 idk i didnt see it

The Boro coming to play is a massive game for any rugby town's football club.

He won't make it past September. Cellino admitted it was a huge risk but said he wouldn't be shy about admitting to it, were it necessary. It's not looking like a masterstroke so far, anyway.

tbf I have no clue what was going on today, we battered them first half, absolutely battered them, then for some reason we changed formation at half time and got battered. I'm not going to feel sorry for Milanic, at all.


Give it to the only man who's been any good at it this season.
