Championship this season

Fri Aug 08, 2025 5:39 pm

Not our league anymore sadly, but the Championship starts tonight with Birmingham v Ipswich.

Who do you see going up and going down?

Can't look past Ipswich and Southampton for top two.

Leicester will be in and around the play-offs I think.

Can also see Birmingham, Norwich and Sheffield United being up there.

Millwall my dark horses to do well.

Wrexham will probably be mid table I reckon, same with the Jacks.


Sheffield Wednesday likely to struggle I think for obvious reasons. Can also see Hull down there (not impressed with their signings) and Preston.

Referee absolutely hopeless brum scored goal but ref gave a foul when t wasn't a foul ... twice given fouls when they wasn't..

WATNE NASH LOOK AT BRUM V IPSWICH SEPERATION

Fri Aug 08, 2025 7:18 pm

Wayne Nash if your watching the game tonight look at the separation behind the goal nothing like the crazy thing we have.

Referee is having a shocker. Seems to think it's a non contact sport. Don Goodman on commentary said "this is getting ridiculous."

Less than 20 minutes in and he's already lost control of the game.

1st half was tetchy and ref was abysmal that added to atmosphere but that's dropped off 2nd half

A steal for Ipswich wow

Re: Championship this season

Fri Aug 08, 2025 8:57 pm

That is never a penalty.

Shocking decision.

Wascthey had no shots upto then.... but own fault cannot raise both hands and think ref won't point to spot if ball hits hand regardless of how it did so..

Kicking off now just seen a Brum fan go to confront a Ipswich player not good

Ned wasn't a pen but he shouldn't have had both hands in air which is what ref probably saw... it did run risk of being penalised even if it was accidental

FT 1-1

I don't know whether Brum are just up for it so much because it's first season back in championship and in front of their fans, but if they continue to play as aggressive as they are then they are going to pick up an awful lot of red cards. They were starting to lose the plot before the penalty, but after that they were rediculous. The ref was all over the place with his decisions. After Ipswich equalised and Brum kicked off the ball was played back and Hurst the Ipswich striker went to close down the ball and he was grabbed by 2 Brum players hauled to the ground and the ref gave a free kick to Brum. Crazy decision

Agree player should have seen red. Moore is having a great game. Not good enough for us though in league one. According to some. lol.
Long way to go but Wrexham really are what we should aspire to be.

Referee in Southampton v Wrexham seems to be a fully signed up member to the Ryan Reynolds fan club.

Ridiculous how he's giving everything to to Circus FC.

If you actually looked at my post from the other night, I gave the referee 3/10 because he was dreadful - in our favour.

I'm not jealous of Wrexham because it'll all come crashing down and I can't wait.

But you can't criticise Wrexham without being accused of being jealous these days.

But you missed my question you were very complimentary about the owners and Wrexham set up before why you changed now?

To quote you. “These brilliant owners”

“I say good luck to them and I’m pleased for them”

What changed your opinion?

Probably seeing morons on social media saying things like "I've been a Wrexham fan since Season Two".
