Where the sun never stops shining
As we are not exactly spoilt for choice of games to watch this afternoon (evening for me & China) I though I might as well start up a Championship Race thread as the season draws to it's conclusion.

I think nine teams have a realistic chance of finishing in the top 6 and there are some interesting games today.

Bolton v Preston
Cardiff v Ipswich
Fulham v Bristol City
Huddersfield v Burnley
Hull v MK Dons
Nottingham For v Sheffield Wed
QPR v Brentford
Rotherham v Derby

Cardiff score as I write this.......
Burnley in the lead, maybe to extend their lead at the top
Derby could trip up at resurgent Rotherham
"Out of reach" Forest could dent the Owls ambitions
Bolton at the wrong end but 1 up

Still a fair way to go, but with Burnley having held on to Sean Dyche and with Gray scoring for fun, my money would be on them to win it!!!!
 
'Boro's manager (Kranka?) has walked out saying he doesn't want to manage them!
I heard that....So strange. They looked nailed on to win the Championship. Looked certain it would be Boro first and Derby 2nd. As it should be from the size of clubs and money constantly spent. Can't believe they are both throwing it away again!

What about McClaren back to Boro?

Edit: Not a rumor I heard or anything, but popped into my mind when I saw the Boro boss was imploding.

Something along the lines of he doesn't feel he can get them promoted according to 5 Live. Doesn't fancy losing at Wembley again!!! <laugh>
Loved the suggestion of 'the Wally with the brolley!!!!'
