[Football] The Championship 2023/24

[dwayne]

He had a good runout, some really nice touches. Looked a different class.

He gave it away about 3 times and dispossessed 3 times. Couple of good runs though, needs to be less greedy.

Seeing as he’s playing in a team whose tactics he’s unfamiliar with and who certainly don’t play short, fast triangular passes, he adapted quite well after a nervous start. He’s going to be a star for them this season, just hope he keeps injury free.

Viewing figures are about to go through the roof, the Champions of Europe are about to host Cardiff.

I will be watching as not that bothered about pre season friendlies when there is competitive football to watch.

1-0. Excellent. Come on Cardiff. Nice rendition of ‘Leeds are falling apart again’ from the Welsh choir.

 

[BrickTamland]

Leeds. The joke that keeps on giving

 

[Munkfish]

2-0 still haven’t worked out to defend.

‘This is a place many fear to tread but not Cardiff’ according to the half wit on commentary

Leeds are beyond hilarious.

Come on Cardiff.

The championship?

Is this what we call the bottom of the premier league? I didn’t realise there was anything lower than that.

Some folk do enjoy watching Championship football so may be best to start a general thread rather than a specific one for last night's match.

I tape the series on Sky so watched Leeds United v WBA faux live in the early hours.

The WBA goal was surreal. Being so used to VAR I was expecting it to be ruled out. I know Leeds have few friends, but that was seriously bad. A perfect jolt of the arm sending the keeper the wrong way. The offending player gleefully claiming the goal with no shame whatsoever.

Whatever you make think of VAR that was really bad. It may be that the ref was unsighted and the linesman couldn't be sure (it must have been) but seeing a goal like that in modern times stand is an odd feeling.

Enjoying seeing Plymouth in the Championship, they have the potential to make the PL and stay there. They seem to progress each season.

And we can still laugh at Leeds United!!!

And we can still laugh at Leeds United!!!

I hope they stay down for a few more years, must be torture getting a taste and not having the time to savour it before you’re kicked out..

Took me about 4 seasons before I started feeling moderately comfortable with our place in the PL.

Cracking start at Saint Mary's where Leicester took the lead after 22secs.

 

[Eric the meek]

Both sides are trying to play it out from the back, but Leicester are pouncing on Southampton's mistakes.

Soton 0 Leicester 2.

 

[VAL1850]

Saints showing how not to play out from the back 0 - 2....
