Sanguine Good to see, but early days of course - I think you need to go down to Leicester City in 8th to find the first club in the Championship table currently in receipt of relegation parachute payments.


a very good point on parachute payments that

i am enjoying Birmingham being 12th, Southampton being 17th and Wrexham being 19th

and Coventry's GD is enjoyable to see


Christ, I knew they were going well but to have scored 12 more than the next highest scorers and be 1 short of having scored double what QPR have (who are the 4th highest scorers) is crazy!

They have the two top scorers in the division. Won their last five in a row, scoring 15, conceding just one. Coventry also have the second best defence in the football league.

West Ham look very poor. Lethargic, slow in possession and Leeds barely had to work for their goals. So soft. Nuno had a real job on his hands to keep them up.

As a neutral this premier league season is fantastic.

The title is wide open, it looks like Arsenal’s to lose but they will have a blip, but who will step up?

How are Man Utd 4th?!

But the relegation battle is the real interest for me, the three that came up, surely Sunderland will be fine, Leeds ticking along ok, Burnley not a bad start, if they can pick up a few more points, more worry for the teams around them.

Let’s assume Burnley go, two ‘premier league’ teams will go with them.

Surely Wolves, who else? Hopefully West Ham but Forest Fulham Everton and Brighton will be looking over their shoulder

Personally I’d love to see BHA go but they will have enough as will Everton I think.

Supposedly Liverpool had spent several training sessions on how not to give Brentford opportunities yet spent most of the match finding new ways to give Brentford throw ins in the last third :lol:

Wonder what a midweek league cup exit to Palace would do for things.

Yes, on their day teams like Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton (3 teams that we used to call rivals :cry: ) are a match for any team in the Premier League.
It just shows what is possible with good owners and good managers and unfortunately a regular reminder of Reading's fall from grace.
