Thread: EFL Championship 2018/2019

Here you go Cy

Not a bad bet at 8/1

Whaddya reckon?

I know nothing, but West Brom for me

Good for a couple of pies @ 8/1

Haven’t really been able to look,dil.

Looking forward to taking on the vile again though.

Stoke have a strange liking for signing our players, and still haven’t learned from Berahino and Fletcher.

Let’s see if we hang on to Rondon and Chadli.

I would put Brentford, Bristol City and possibly Ipswich and Reading in that mix.

Not to mention my team.

The relegated sides will struggle to adjust.

Lampard's Derby won at Reading with a last minute winner on the opening night.

Eyes on the Midlands this year: Stoke, WBA, Villa, Derby and Forest (having spent a few quid) all challenging for promotion.

Some history among that lot.

Maybe Sideburns will make a comeback.

Liverpool’s talented 18 year old has signed for Sheffield United on a season long loan, with the full approval of Jurgen Klopp.
Quite a coup for the Blades, considering Villa were also after him.
The Blades also plucked 21 year old Man City Academy player Kean Bryan on a free transfer from the premier league champions.

WBA 1 Bolton 2

The Three Degrees might be looking at Division 3 very soon.

Looks like a good get-together, dill.

We start shit every season, btw...except last season, and look where that got us.

I guess you're still denying that's you out-of-shot holding the wolves flag...or are you ready to come out now?


BTW...those numbers actually look pretty fucking overwhelming in favour of Albion really, don't they.

I think performances are far better than results, especially watching Maureenho's shit.
I reckon you'll be challenging.

It must make a refreshing change though eh? Ok you're in the relegation zone now, but when that soon changes, to be up there at the top and pushing to win something

And no I'm not a Dingle

I must admit, those numbers reminded me a lot of Man U vs West Brom last season.

Stoke are still spending on known quantities. We're getting in mostly lower-league youngsters.

I think top six might be the best we can do this year, although we have rebounded straight back into the prem before, so we've got players and a manager who know how it's done.

So what was your local team growing up?

You know, the one supported by your school-mates, who weren't just glory hunters watching on the telly but who actually went to games?

I grew up as a squaddie brat closer to Barcelona than Birmingham

I started supporting Man U after watching them lose the FA Cup final 3-2 to Arsenal 78/79. They were just a good cup team then but i loved the way they played and later sent a letter to M16 ORA asking Dave Sexton for a shirt, ball and a rosette. They sent me a newsletter
I should have seen the signs then, prawn sandwich munching fucks
They won fuck all under Sexton.

When my dad left the army we moved to where our mom comes from and watched the local team, who were and still are worse than West Brom

bullseye!

Explain the Glory to me from 78/79 til Fergie joined.

Although I do have a photo in a European cup winning Villa shirt somewhere, can't help what the inlaws buy you for Xmas eh?

Yeah, I meant the history.

Atkinson buying our two best players was significant too.

As with his time at several other clubs, buying the best players from his previous club was about all he got right.

Robson and.....
Googled it.... Remi Moses

That's soccer anorak status

Anyway when was the last time you went to a game?
You have last Boxing Day to beat, else you are taking the armchair fan accolade from me

So you made it to one game.

No armchair supporting from me this year....unless Myanmar Sports comes through on HD Prime.

I can get you a proper tv box with everything on for 20k
