Ricky Holmes: Sheffield United sign midfielder from Charlton for undisclosed fee Marcus Edwards: Norwich City sign midfielder on loan from Tottenham Hotspur Maikel Kieftenbeld: Birmingham City midfielder signs new two-year deal Jack Rodwell: Sunderland midfielder is Black Cats' 'worst ever mistake'
Ricky Holmes : "I couldn't turn down the opportunity to play in the Championship," ... Except when he did in the summer and signed another contract at Charlton.
I would say the championship is good fo'r away fans. Some big turnouts down at Millwall this season! Preston brought over a k last week and were very vocal. I think the standard of football is better than some of the shit in the prem too!
I agree, it is a good league to watch especially as an away fan. Tickets not too hard to get usually and less weird kick off times than the PL and much less of the awful football in L1. just as well as I can't see us getting out of it for the foreseeable!
Oi, 12,000+ there last night to watch our giantkilling of Carlisle in blizzard conditions. Look upon our mighty works and tremble...

I also think the supporters outside of the prem are much more passionate and vocal, making for a better atmosphere. A few idiots dressed in black and a drum at palace is about the best the prem can do. It's all contrived and done for the cameras/ sky microphones and hardly spontaneous. Even when we scored on Saturday the preston mob kept singing fair play to them!
Just seen this,, Marko Grujic: Liverpool midfielder joins Cardiff City on loan. Looks like a decent signing to keep you in the running. I can't see wolves dropping many points mind!
Fuck Wolveselona. As long as Derby drip points. Also looking good for Grabban from the Cherries, and the boy from Norwich looked good last weekend.
They have certainly got it together recently but this league is one for biting you on the arse. As long as he gets off to a good start. We had him many moon ago and he's a moody cunt when it suits him. He is a handful and should do you good.
Last season was dire. The football was shit. We didn't score goals. We got beat in successive games without putting up any sort of fight, resistance or anything else. The championship was better. But, if we had a better manager/playing style, I'd rather be up there. Mainly because I'm an armchair fan and can get the matches on the telly then
Well yes, we have stepped back from a few loans (from prem teams) because of this. if the loanee turns out to be shit or doesn't fit in he still has to play, fuck that, I can't imagine players fighting for a starting place would be happy when bertie big bollox turns up and strolls into the team.
