[Football] The Championship does it again!

I think the important thing is that we won't have to play Derby outside of a cup match next season.

Saw the brief highlights - the defending for some of the goals was absolutely shocking.

Hard to say. We invested a record amount in the summer, so with Premier League money on top of that, we could've invested in some decent players and done okay.
I'm just looking forward to the season being over to be honest. It's very unlikely we'll go down as we need to lose and then Birmingham to draw, Burton and Barnsley to win, and they've all got tough games against clubs who are fighting at the top of the end of the table. So we'll probably survive, but we don't deserve to. It will be an interesting summer.

So was sacking Stam the right move?

Not seen such Bravery!
I forgot that they'd replaced him with the ex-Real Madrid training cone arranger.

Yes, if we didn't, we'd likely be down with Sunderland already.
If we do go down, it will be because we didn't sack him soon enough. Clement would be blameless IMO.

What a CV that would read for David Stockdale though. Promotion one season, relegation the next (both from the same division).

Who called that record spending that changed you from nearly promoted to still being in the relegation mix with a game to go? Shocking.

Well, some of them were good. If it weren't for Barrow then we'd be down already. Mannone has been decent for the most part. But Aluko, Edwards and Martin have just been horrendous
