Football League: Discussion

With the season starting tomorrow, I've just had a look at the odds to win the Championship from Paddy Power. Leicester and West Ham are joint favourites at 4/1, well clear of Forest at 14/1, then Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Blackpool are all at 16/1. Palace are 80/1 (and 9/4 to get relegated). Favourites for the drop are Coventry, Barnsley and Doncaster all at 15/8.
The full list is here: http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-fo...ampionship
and for the other divisions: http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-fo...r-league-1 , http://www.paddypower.com/football/uk-fo...r-league-2

Slightly shocked at Birminghams odds considering there down turn in fortune, literally!! I would think Palace will be safe Si. They turned it around last season, and there are worse sides in that division. Will keep my fingers crossed for your Red 'n' Blue army!

Looking at the paddy power odds for League 2, seems my review wasn't to shabby after all

AHHH proper football starts today.

Cannot wait

Then next season you will say "Pfftt, Championship, what a load of shiiii..."

Aah, good to have the footy back
Not the greatest game but Taylor-Flecther's goal was quality. And that Brady for Hull looks a decent player too

Well kids that was shit.

If you don't take your chances, you'll lose

Unlucky Gaz our former fox Fryatt should of got you a point.

Hobbs is crap aswell hoooooofing Hobbs, really impressed with Brady but other than that mediocre performance by most players.

Blackpool defence especially Baptiste was good, Grandin looked lively and so did Super Kev.

Could of been better but least there was a goal, and what a goal it was

New season, same old Ken Bates, acting like the arsehole that he is

I was surprised he wasn't advocating armed guard towers and spouting, 'Vor you zee war eez over'.
