skinnybob72 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 4 hours ago, Mikey1874 said: The Championship is pretty rubbish. You can see it in that the EPL relegated sides plus promoted Ipswich are dominating the league. The gap between the PL and Champ has never been bigger - the massive parachute payments means the relegated PL sides can keep most of their squad together in the Champ - for at least the first season. Hence Leicester running away with it and Soton / Leeds in 3rd and 4th. Also shows just how well Ipswich have done so far this season to be second at this stage, with a far smaller budget than the three relegated teams.

There's almost no gap imo. The top Championship clubs are every bit as good as the relegation fodder in the Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could make it very interesting for us as neutrals - the hope of Man U getting a bloody nose notwithstanding. With the way they've been playing this season, it's more expectation than hope!

Mikey1874 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Martinelli didn't start to be fair. And everyone wanted to sign Declan Rice. But it looks like the fantastic football that destroyed teams last season has been parked. Declan Rice slows Arsenal down and who knows what Havertz is meant to be doing. Liverpool prioritised the League Cup semi but were still pretty comfortable winners. Also put on their youngsters at 0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
