    I’m loving all this, there’ll be some cracking matches …

    … not always great football but loads of grudge matches.

    Wrexham v Swansea might be tasty

    The only awful thing about the championship is the hope of getting out of it, great league, great teams, some great football and stadia

    One of the most watched leagues in the world now

    And yet I hope we are not back in there any time soon

    Can't beat the Championship mind. What a league. You think you know what's going to happen before it starts. These three to go up, these five or six to contest the play offs. These eight or so to float around the middle.

    Easy! But last season, here comes Sunderland, uninvited, popping and fizzing into the room like a loosed off firework, upsetting the order of things.

    Almost every year one, or sometimes even two clubs do this. Bloody great!

    I'm saying Bristol City as a surprise package this year.

    Wouldn’t be a surprise. Definitely fancy them for a play off spot at least

    Some great opening fixtures there.

    If Ipswich keep hold of their players, they will probably finish top of the league at the end of the season.
