Welcome back!

[Kilburn Ram]

To Hull and Boro (that didn't last long..), Sunderland (it's been a while but long overdue), Bolton (meh), Sheff U (exciting) and Millwall/Bradford (come on Bradford).

Quite a Midlands/northern feel to the division next season.

I suspect the division could well be wide open next season.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Grow up.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

What a load of northern shite

 

[markwwfc1992]

3 shit away trips next season then. Sunderland is alright but too far away and I've been before. Hull and Middlesbrough we never get anything at, and both will probably be on week nights.

Boro chairman Steve Gibson says:

"The club is well run and we're in a good financial state so we will have more resources going into next season than any other Championship club.

"We will smash the league next year. We want to go back up as champions."

Sunderland, Hull and Boro. For fuck's sake.

 

[Ciderup]

'Kinell, I'm gonna need a new car with all these northern games!
Come on Millwall FFS (no offence Bantams).

 

[Ciderhead]

At least Boro will be 6 points next season. Nice to have one team in this league we've got a good record against. Well, Barnsley aside

Was just thinking the same about Bristol City...

Worked well for Villa...

What the fuck is it about the North Sea, eh?

You think about us a lot, don't you?

League one is one hell of a tough league to get out of, and we had to play some of the worst one dimensional football to do it. Hopefully Parky will know that it won't work in this league, and I'm hopeful we can stay up.

Think you'll need to have a good transfer window. Was impressed when I saw you earlier in the season but you looked a much weaker side sans Clough and Ameobi the couple of games I saw post Jan.

Not sure Parkinson has too many strings to his bow tbh. Can see you having a slow start and him being one of the first batch of managers to go in Nov-Dec time.

Suppose it can't be any worse than last year! You did very well to bounce straight back, looked far more likely to go the other way.

Based on this season they couldn't smash an egg.
Talking shite

Slow season ticket sales maybe?

 

[AnkleBiter]

Boro have a good squad that you'd think they'd keep together, but wtf were they doing by giving the job to Agnew for all that time? Basically accepting relegation. If they get their next appointment right (not an easy task) then yes I can see them doing a Burnley.

Hull are very unpredictable due to their owners. Absolute fair fucks to their squad for giving it such a good go this season, they looked a strong contender to be one of the worst ever PL sides at the start of the season. Again if they keep most of the squad, and Silva, you'd expect them to challenge top 2. Need to learn how to get points away from home again though.

As for Sunderland I think it's very hard not to see them continue their downward spiral at the moment. Massive summer for them.

Bradford v Millwall is a fucking nightmare of a final, but I have to root for Millwall

It's fucking piss easy to get out of and the fact you did it first time after you're shambles of a season before proves that

 

[Ciderup]

FFS!!!

 

[LeylandWhite]

FFS!!!

Proper northern league when you look at that, not good for you lot.

Our owners could buy Middlesbrough FC 100 times over and redevelop their stadium into a car park. Lets see if he puts his money where is mouth is.

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

FFS!!!

That is an uninspiring map if ever I saw one. Think I'll take a rain check on promotion; have at it Bradford.

 

[Veggie Legs]

FFS!!!

If you add Fulham, Reading and Millwall to that then it's not quite so bad.

 

[QPR_Matt]

Hopefully Millwall stay down. I have never been there and more chance of making it there than Bradford. It really is a northern heavy league!

 

[Madejski]

But only one of the three will be in the league next season. Us.

Bristol city were battling relegation for a lot of there 1st season in it 4 years ago, yes there 1st season which means they didn't go straight back up , not even close, he's talking pure shite. Oh yes it must of been a piece of piss to get out of the other 45 seasons they've spent in it too.

 

[blademan89]

FFS!!!

Only Ipswich,Norwich,bristol city and Cardiff that require any effort at all and maybe reading. I must say I'm looking forward to it and hopefully Bradford make it too.

Ah, the O'Driscoll shitehouse season!
I will admit we had a shocker that year but, when we took it seriously, finally, we walked back up. It's not a 'Billy big Bollocks' thing just totally inept Management. That said, I am surprised it's taken you this long to get back up as you're a bigger club. Historically, we're a bottom end 2nd level club with a fair few years below that, something we are keen to avoid again.
We're getting there, slowly but surely but we're getting there with the rebuilt stadium, much better crowds and generally a more modern club.
One day, just maybe, one day.

 

[TomPNE94]

To be fair, it is a piece of piss to get out of. Just need a half competent manager.
