Championship Title and play off race

cardhino · 04-07-2007, 04:11 PM

its going to be tight this year! i think the table will end up looking like this:

1) Birmingham
2) Sunderland
-----------------
3) WBA
4)Derby
5)Southampton
6) Preston

ok so maybe i'm a little biast towards birmingham

but anyway what are your thoughts?

Matt the Thrasher · 04-07-2007, 05:24 PM

I think Sunderland will win the championship ,and it's between you and Derby for second, I have a feeling Birmingham will just do it.

As for the play offs it's very hard to say I think Stoke or Cardiff may just sneak in there at the expense of West Brom or even Preston who seem to have lost form just lately.

I fancy Southampton in the play offs so it's Sunderland , Birmingham & Southampton to be playing premier league football next year for me.

cardhino · 04-07-2007, 07:11 PM

know the results are in my opinion has changed....alot of the big contendors dropped points today, with birmingham loosing, i think if they dont get good luck on mondays games...then we're in BIG trouble and might have to get play offs

toonmagic9 · 04-07-2007, 07:15 PM

still fancy birmingham to go up but it will have to be as runners up i feel, as for the playoffs it's anyones guess as to who the four teams will be if stoke keep up their form then they could quite easily be up

goldenHuddlestone · 04-07-2007, 10:07 PM

OK just did that predictor thing on BBC and this is how it turns out in my mind:

1.Derby

2. Birmingham

3. Sunderland
4. West Brom
5. Colchester
6. Preston

7. Southampton
8. Wolverhampton
9. Stoke
10. Cardiff
11. Crystal Palace
12. Sheffield Wednesday
13. Coventry
14. Ipswich
15. Norwich
16. Plymouth
17. Burnley
18. Leicester
19. QPR
20. Hull
21. Luton

22. Leeds
23. Barnsley
24. Southend

For me Sunderland would beat West Brom and Colchester would beat Preston

So the play off final would be Sunderland vs Colchester which I believe Sunderland would win

Matt the Thrasher · 04-09-2007, 07:15 PM

Sunderland are now top after beating Southampton 2-1 at St Mary's , Derby were held 1-1 by Coventry & Birmingham who've had a bad easter lost at Barnsley.

What price Roy Keane taking over at Old Trafford when Fergie retires?

toonmagic9 · 04-12-2007, 07:00 PM

it's possible but i feel that derby will fall away and birmingham will sneak the last automatic place, keane for man u only if they win the treble, because thats the only reason for fergie to retire

Matt the Thrasher · 04-18-2007, 09:28 AM

Birmingham moved back into the automatic promotion places with a 2-1 win atr Leicester last night , I'm pretty sure Sunderland & Birmingham will finish 1st & 2nd now.

toonmagic9 · 04-18-2007, 05:15 PM

you might of got this prediction right brums experience will be crucial

goldenHuddlestone · 04-18-2007, 07:07 PM

What happened to Derby man?

Nattyboy95 · 04-19-2007, 08:53 PM

I really want blues NOT to go up!!!

Matt the Thrasher · 04-19-2007, 09:47 PM

Don't you miss the derby game though?

Nattyboy95 · 04-20-2007, 04:45 PM

Well yeah but i love to watch them lose

Stevens · 04-21-2007, 12:30 PM

I think Sunderland but whoever goes up is likely to get a mimum of £45 million £30 million even if they finish bottom of the Premier league season 2007/08and £15 in parashoot payments in tal should they stay down.

What do you think the promoted club(s) would spend this £45 million on?

I think players

Matt the Thrasher · 04-21-2007, 06:02 PM

It's very tight at the top now after Sunderland's defeat at Colchester ,looking at the remaining fixtures of the top 3 I think Birmingham maybe the ones to just miss out on automatic promotion but it's going to be mighty close. History shows that the team that finishes 3rd hardly ever wins the play-offs ,I have a feeling that Sheffield Wednesday could just sneak into the play- offs and sneak into the premiership as well.

toonmagic9 · 04-21-2007, 07:54 PM

i think that birmingham will go up automaticlly as will sunderland i think derby will be the team to miss out on the promised land

I hope not as I would like to see Derby County and Sundeland in the Premiership as the city of Birmingham already has a Premiership club i.e Aston Villa while Derby and Sunderland currently have none.

goldenHuddlestone · 04-21-2007, 09:50 PM

Derby desevr it the most over Birmingham IMO.

Matt the Thrasher · 04-22-2007, 05:03 PM

Birmingham jump from 3rd to 1st after coming from behind to beat Wolves 3-2.

goldenHuddlestone · 04-22-2007, 05:37 PM

Such a rollercoaster at the top

Matt the Thrasher · 04-22-2007, 05:44 PM

Yes , it's going to be heart break for whichever of the 3 misses out , on the whole I think the play-offs are a good thing but in a situation like this when there are 3 teams clearly better than the rest it does seem a little unfair.

goldenHuddlestone · 04-22-2007, 05:54 PM

Its a shame Derby missed out right at th edeath of it

toonmagic9 · 04-22-2007, 08:12 PM

surely though if all three are superior then they should all go up, still say birmingham to finish top, pulled a result out at just the right time so sorry derby fans but if there that good it will be through the play offs

goldenHuddlestone · 04-22-2007, 09:10 PM

But if they've had a dip in form then that form will be sustained throughout the play offs
