LOOKS LIKE

You are going up!and it kills me to say it.
However the only shining light is that unless you spend big(20mill at least) you are going to find it very hard with the team you have.
Yes you are winning but if the truth be known you aint that good and the champ is poor this year.
You only need to look at the teams who walked the champ last season!and even tho they have spent they are struggling big time.
Would you take going up just to be struggling all season in front of the footballing world.

MEANWHILE IN SWAMPSEA; Local men and women have decided to stop engaging themselves with animals tied to their campers and other family members and have all heading down to libraries and Internet cafe to blog on rival forums about their secret obsessions.

People expected you to get smashed every week. You dont know untill your there. Think we will copy Norwich's model and buy hungy british players from the lower leagues.

Well said

Bolton, blackburn, wolves all struggling in this "poor" league

Funny how the championship is poor this season. They've been saying that every season for as long as i can remember.

Why is it that every year people say the championship is weak this year?
It's absolute bollocks!
This year there is more money being shelved out on players than ever before. The teams who came down from the premier league are 20 points off the pace, so how is the championship the weakest it's been for years!

You may well be right however even when we don't play well like against Millwall, we still manage to win which is a good sign, we are also now winning away as well, so yes I think we will be playing you next year. We will have backing and will need to get some good players in, the game plan will be to stay up simple as that, we all thought your lot would struggle but you have done well so far.

Nobody walked this league last year. Plus look at the three teams who came down, all in the bottom half. Reading went up and bought Championship level players, Southampton splashed money on useless signing and big names like Rodriguez. only Clyne is really doing well for them

Why isnt the premier weaker league? Just maybe because its weak you are doing ok?

We have done well because we had a good footballing side to start with and money in the bank.
As for the champ!there are no teams running away with it as there has been every other season.
Every one can beat anyone and apart from you no one can put a run together and when you slip up so do every one els.

We are doing well this year by working hard rather than relying on a couple of flair players. Reminds me of the Norwich team when they went up. The only thing we are missing is a striker we can rely on in the premiership but I'm sure if we get there the owners will invest again.

Outside the top 5 then anyone can beat anyone in the premier.

there is one team running away with it!

when was the last time someone had more than a 5 point lead at this point of the season?

To be fair the money in the bank had little to do with it. Wolves got relegated and are struggling in the championship and they have no money worries. You had a great set up thanks to Martinez and Rodgers added the cutting edge up front. You had a lot of hard working players and managed to find some more when you got to the premier league unlike QPR who went for Wright-Phillips, Dyer, Cisse, Bosingwa etc

The champ is probably a tad stronger and the prem a little more weaker since it was the all powerful league in world football in 05--09.

However I don't think our team is better than Swansea's when they went up, nor WHU and Newcastle United. But Norwich and Southampton were not really a lots better than us.

Who ran away with it last year, saints and reading were separated by one point or most two.

Hardly running away with it.

I've been saying last two yrs hope the jacks come down but if we make it up then I hope u stay there, two welsh derbys in the English Premier league will be bloody awesome plus 6 easy points for us

The team we got now would get smashed in the prem. it's a pity we have'nt got the quality youngsters like Ramsey ,Mathews comming through,i'd be a bit more hopeful.

you really havent got a f*cking clue have you. the team we have is better then the team you got promoted with. we're 5pts clear with maynard and smith both been out a while. smith is due back in the new year, we probably won't see maynard for the rest of the season.

We've got some good youngsters in our squad who will only get better with experience and malkay guiding them. Malkay has a great policy when it comes to giving youngsters an opportunity

Pretty sure everyone said that about Swansea (including me!)

Many sides proving you don't have to spend big to stay up.

We can only beat what is in front of us. A lot of the time we are not playing well but we are still winning. You have a cracking Chairman Paul who is more astute than the best Billionaire when it comes to football. Just hope we don't do a Cardiff by the month of May

Thing ia you cant play shit in the prem and get results.
We keep the ball well and that makes it hard for teams to score against us.
You get away with teams being all over you for long periods and not scoring.

Do we? I don't think so.

Thought you said before that you hadn't seen much of us playing before? Now you're telling us how we play?

Every year people say "Poor championship"

We are on course to break records, are beating rivals when not playing at our best, god help once we hit top form, and add some more quality in January.

Sounds like the Jacks are running scared already

Sat Dec 29 th Dec, Fulham v Swansea, Fulham 59% possession, Swansea 41%. Fulham 22 shots on goal, JB's 10 shots, you just couldn't make it up could you??

I'de like to read your explanation to this after the crock of shit you've written above!

What you also fail to factor in is that premier teams play differently from champ as you said you pass teams to death! If you saw millwall on sat they harrassed us all game so no time to play pretty footbal. Hence how we play now will be different if in prem.

we were shit yesterday,but we did have 7 players out from the last game,we were away,and we didnt have many chances on goal but we took them,teams and players are better in the prem and take there chances unlike millwall yesterday and many other games were you have not been good.
I started this only to find out what your feelings were but you will find out for your selfs if you do make it{i hope you dont}but the team you have now will go down next year as because there is a big step up,,,ask reading,saints,qpr,west ham,

Ok take point about qpr ect but then turn it around blackburn wolves ect were expected to go back up! But look at them now! and with same squads generally.. We do need strengthening. But 20 mil? You didnt need that much and we are just as good as you were then! And you still not spent much 2nd year.? So do have faith in malkies ability to get right player.

Only time will tell
