Good luck to Bournemouth, always good to see new teams in the Premier League. I think it would be really refreshing to see them in the league.

 

It's still massively wide open, Norwich's form is absolutely ridiculous. Then you get a great win for Watford today, and Derby have finally stopped the rot and win a game.

 

I really want Derby to go up aswell, mainly because of Steve McLaren. I'd like to see him back in the Premier League as he's clearly a much better manager than what people remember him for.

 

Regardless it's very exciting for the neutral, and I'm glad it's not my team involved in it, as there's nothing worse than the play-offs when you lose.

Want Bournmouth to be champions they play really good style of footy and Harry Arter is quality - could be a future Ireland midfielder. Plus it'd be an amazing story to be in the 4th tier 5/6 yrs ago and now be a premier league side with a young manager. It just didn't work out for him at Burnley.

 

Then Watford in second because Deeney, Inhalo & Vydra are amazing altogether - great attacking side, plus the yellow and black strip is quality.

 

Then I'd like a playoff win for Brentford to see another 'small' club in the premiership even though they'd be relegated straight away. Plus the fact the board have said Warburton won't get a new contract is a disgrace considering they were a third tier side last yr.

Definitely more interesting at the top indeed.

 

Really hoping now Bournemouth can get promoted especially with that comeback against Birmingham City.

 

The final day of the Championship to watch on either Final Score or Soccer Saturday will be thrilling providing the promotion race carries on until the final day.

 

 

Wigan have appointed their ex-captain Gary Caldwell as their new manager.

Prob need someone like that in the third tier, harder to attract big managers.

Bournemouth beat Brighton 2-0 to go 4 points clear at the top of the league. Looking like the favourites to get promoted surely.

They'd be odds on favourites for relegation next year. I'd rather see them up than have Villa/Sunderland/Newcastle clog up the league to be honest.

Great result what a story!!

Bournemouth's remaining games are all against teams with nothing to play for, so it really is looking good. Even as someone who observes them as a local (rather than a life-time supporter), I keep expecting to wake up and find it has all been a dream. Since I have been living here (18 years), they have nearly gone out of existence twice. They nearly dropped out of the league in the year Luton dropped out, i.e. just six years ago. Then Saint Eddie of Bournemouth took over.

What's the feeling down there about how they'd do in the Premier League? The owners are loaded, but may take the long-term vies of improving the infrastructure in a way Blackpool arguably should have.

There's no feeling that the owners will be as bad as the Oystons at Blackpool. A number of clubs have spent a few years oscillating between the Premier league and the Championship / Division 1. I think most Bournemouth supporters would accept that as long as they could see that the owners were building the club gradually.

No change in this division - all the top teams winning but Brentford and Wolves chances fading with defeats. Wigan could be down tho as Millwall win in a battle with 3 soff.

Wigan 9 points a drift with 3 games left to play, League 1 is calling them back. However Rotherham have previously fielded a player they shouldn't have in March? And could be deducted 3 points. However when Blackpool were found guilty of this earlier in the season, they only got a fine.

Yes, they did it in the game against Brighton last month. A 3-0 win to Brighton would be great, but I can't see them doing that. I'm not sure how Blackpool got away with just a fine, not that a points deduction was ever going to make any difference to them.

Important match tonight in the promotion race between Norwich and Middlesbrough. I can possibly see this being a draw between them.

Massive game between Norwich and Middlesbrough right now, winner goes top.

 

Personally, I'd like to see Middlesbrough promoted because they've been down in the Championship for longer and them being good reminds me of my childhood :lol: Remember them getting to UEFA Cup final, very unlikely now!

Prefer Norwich to win but that's only cos I've got money on them winning the Championship this season :P

 

Not a good start...

They're widely claimed to have the best squad in that division since they've kept the majority of the Premier League team that was surprisingly relegated. They'd be my bet for the Play Offs.

Derby's meltdown has resumed after a decent spell since the international break :drama:

Do you think they'll miss out on the Playoffs then? Brentford winning right now.
