[Football] The Championship

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I've just been perusing the various league tables.

Now, I know the championship is a competitive league but a third of the way through the season there are just 11 points separating QPR in first place and Blackpool in 21st. That seems incredibly close even for the championship.

By comparison the same points gap in the Premier league separates first from seventh.

Great league to watch, definitely my favourite for good quality even games! We might even be in it next year!

Blackburn in second have lost 7 times this season, that's more than Coventry and West Brom who have both lost 5 times but sit in the bottom 3.

Preston have scored just 9 goal this season in 16 league games but are just 2 points outside the playoffs.

Not the best league in the world but maybe the most entertaining one. Mixture of styles, future world class players battling with gritty old men who'd really should play non-league football, and some seasons, like this one, everyone can beat everyone.

Currently it is standing still though while the PL is always improving. Not seen one team this season where I thought "they're building something exciting and could take the step up and stay up".

I used to really enjoy the Championship when we were in it, so much so that I often wondered if the PL would be as much fun.

Now I dread us playing in that league ever again. Funny old game.

I missed some of the Championship midweek results and had to check to see if QPR were really top. They are to my surprise.

It's an exciting league but lacking in quality,

I may be corrected on this.
But when I watched the Albion in the Championship at the Amex, the atmosphere, football and fans, were real.
I'm not saying the football played now is not real, just that the Albion fans are mixed in with plastics and their tissues gushing over some stereotypical PL star.

Maybe I'm getting older

People were complaining at the time though that half the ground was plastics. Some things never change.
