The Championship - As it Stands

Beautiful ain't it?

Not as good as seeing us on top

Some people are never happy

And Brighton beating Burnley at home is not unthinkable. So either 1st or 2nd is still on.

Sadly, we'll be third again before we play MK Dons, but could be second again at the end of Saturday.

Terrible news everyone. We're still not proper promotion candidates:

So that's that then. Call me when the play-offs start (if we can somehow finish in the top 6)

Fortunately they play each other on Friday so we will know exactly where we stand going to Mk Saturday!

End it all now, I would be happy with second

I don't think you'd find a single Albion fan in the world (except some knob named [MENTION=13208]waterhouse[/MENTION]) that wouldn't take second!

I just couldn't handle 'Boro away being the 2nd place decider...

Considering our performance against them was our worst of the season, probably fair comments given we have the hardest run in.

Mboros ain't easy though with burnley, hull, bham and QPR (away and in form) to play. As well us at home.

You just know it's going to be, written in the stars.
We went to Newcastle needing a win to gain promotion to the First Division all those years ago. A win that stopped a north east side (Sunderland) from getting promotion.
History is about to repeat itself!

Reckon Boro will struggle away to QPR the night before we play Burnley.

I can see why we're not seen as challengers to be fair as we're not as dominant as others...we don't win away to often is a bit of an issue as well.
Still maybe we'll kick on and get some cracking results

 

[ferring seagull]

Third.

This irrespective of the result !

We aren't dominant, we don't win away, yet we are second - we must be doing something fecking right!

Postponement due to pitch frozen / waterlogged would still leave us 2nd - but I understand what you'r saying ....

For those with long memories, haven't we got a good record of needing a result away from home in the North East on the final day of the season to get promotion to the top flight?

Ridiculous thing to say after years as a Brighton fan, but just a bit damn excited about things. Off to MK on Saturday and just feels like we have the wind behind us, so who knows where it may carry us. I actually had us down for about 10th this season. So let's enjoy the ride.
