Quickly, where is last season's (15-16) championship trophy? And where is the (15-16) second place trophy?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Where will the trophy be next week?
- Thread starter kevo
- Start date
So, do they have a replica of this as well, so that there's one of each at both games?
Having said that, last year they said they wouldn't present the trophy at away games, don't know if the same will be true this year? http://www.efl.com/news/article/2016/football-league-statement-sky-bet-championship-trophy-presentation-3101039.aspx

Any ideas how the the trophy presentation stuff takes?
Like others, I'm sure, I thought we would have already had the trophy and am booked on the 1505 train from Aston.

Spare a thought for poor old Ben, How negative must he be growing up?

Nobody cares who came first - all people remember are the 3 teams that went up, and sometimes refer to one as winning the play offs, rarely with automatic teams do they refer them to first or second, just Automatic
We would remember though.

If you want us to be remembered as the team that blew a 7 point lead with 3 games left then fine.

Hope you're right but I wouldn't want to put any money on two draws. Newcastle have played well their last two games and we certainly haven't.
Want CH to give the team a huge kick up the backside and go for it at Villa unlike yesterday where we really didn't try hard enough.
We didn't play like we had huge pressure on us. Got the impression too many players thought we could just turn up to win and underperformed accordingly.
Wonder if CH thought the same too, given his selection of several players who were either returning from injury or out of form anyway. Bristol City was always going to be our best chance of 3 points so I expected our strongest side to be out there. Does anyone think that was our best possible side?!
Think Norwich was forgivable, given the events that week and losing to two freak goals, but we had plenty of time to recover and prepare for today but we didn't seem to have any plan other than lumping the ball forward time after time.
Am disappointed as I expected us to win and we should have but we've got the main prize......

True, but surely you have already achieved the main goal
St James's Park. A PL squad and team easing through their last games, with no alleged 'hangover' two weeks on.
I genuinely thought all season that we'd lose our last away games at very high spending PL Norwich and Villa, dreading those fixtures if we had to rely on them to go up. Thankfully the run of wins home and away up to Easter, prevented that nightmare scenario.
Fatigue has finally hit our slow, near identical front men. God we lack pace without Baldock.

I'm glad our dip in form has come after promotion.

I really couldn't give a flying ****, what anyone else thinks about us, I'm not that insecure.
If we win at the Villa, great, job done, if we don't, I can live with it. We have over achieved this season, the only fans who could take the piss, in the Championship, would be Newcastle, we are above all the others, Premier league fans don't give a toss about us, so, who really would take the piss?

Which would have been a plan if ANYONE on the ball had noticed the runs being made. So many times you had to watch Hemed, Skalak etc checking their run, as the ball hadn't arrived. So frustrating.
