Us, Millwall and West Ham in the second tier. The last time that happened was the 92/93 season. The season when LWT used to rotate us, Millwall, West Ham, Luton and Watford on the Big Match Live on Sunday afternoon. I recall Millwall drawing 2-2 at West Ham that season. Brian Moore going Moraleeeeee as Millwall went 2-1 up. Strange what football memories stick in your head from your childhood4

Quite an interesting table here re the 58 clubs that have appeared in the Championship since its start in 2004.
Cardiff, Derby and QPR being the main stay at 19 seasons, Preston 18, Ipswich and Bristol City 17. Charlton just 8, but we were busy in the Premiership for the first couple of years - as for the rest

Preston 18 and Bristol City 17 seasons in the Championship, without ever being promoted to the Premier League is ridiculous, when you consider the teams that have made it up.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Quite an interesting table here re the 58 clubs that have appeared in the Championship since its start in 2004.

For a long time Ipswich were a team seemingly stuck in the Championship too, though they had a relegation before their recent success.2 -
It was bad enough talking about top flight football like it only started in 1992 but speaking about the Championship as if this level of the football pyramid didn't exist before 2004 is arguably more ridiculous.Raith_C_Chattonell said:Quite an interesting table here re the 58 clubs that have appeared in the Championship since its start in 2004.

Other than either Stevanage or Stockport I make that only five of next season Championship clubs who have never played in the PL
Preston
Bristol City
Wrexham
Lincoln
Millwall
Wrexham and Lincoln have never played in the top flight.
Millwall have played twice in the top flight and Bristol nine times.
Preston were founder members of the football league.1 -
Not directed at you at all! The fact wiki has it positioned like that was what irritated me.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Have you not seen the Hollywood film starring Leonardo Di Caprio as Phil Parkinson and the owners as themselves called 'Wrexham win the Premier League in Overtime'? George Dobson won an Oscar for best supporting actor.Henry Irving said:Other than either Stevanage or Stockport I make that only five of next season Championship clubs who have never played in the PL

The two Ms (in the Championship playoffs) suffer defeat in the semi finals, so go into next season's table.1 -

Shouldn’t that be Hull/Southampton/Middlesbrough?3

Coventry knew they were promoted on 17th April. The playoff final is scheduled for 23rd May and now the EFL say that it may be delayed pending enquiries. Prep time for the Premier League is essential - it starts on 22nd August. Surely they can't delay further?

The championship playoff final is the showpiece of the EFL season. There's no way it will be delayed or cancelled, there's too much money to be made and there will be sunk cost too.
Southampton will get a fine and we'll carry on as normal.1 -

I’m going for a £0.5m fine and a 3 point deduction, held over for when they next play in the championship.Charlton and on said:The championship playoff final is the showpiece of the EFL season.

Could see that happening. Not really sure what a proportionate penalty would be. Can't imagine they gain a huge amount watching training sessions after Middlesbrough have already played 46 games that they could have had scouts at.
But it's still cheating.0 -
Manager (if involved) and performance analyst to be immediately banned from football would be funny.
Then won’t affect the players and fans as much.
It would amuse me to see Southampton kicked out of the Playoffs, if for no other reason than to upset the cocky young kids giving it the big ‘un with their binoculars.0 -

I bet Harwood-Bellis feels a right Pratt at the moment.0

Oh didn’t see that. Idiot.0

In the same game, Harwood Bellis did that and mocked Ayling for his stammer. I hope Hull slap the shit out of them in the final and Harwood Bellis gets a right kicking1
