    Lets get away from the T/O stuff and concentrate on football. Who do you think will win the league, and the resulting poll should give us an idea of the top 6. I discounted palace and put Forest in

    Any chance we can get an 'any of the above' button, 'cos I've got absolutely no idea who'll win it.

    Oi! where's Millwall? why not - if you're having a laugh and putting Boro and Leeds in the Poll!

    I just find it funny that some of the deluded Leeds fans think that they can truely win this league with the players and squad that they have this year. Priceless
    Cardiff, Leicester, Blackburn, Wolves, Forest and Blackpool main contenders, we will have to wait and see, cant see better than 10th for Leeds, although i have to say they do have a manager who knows his way around this league, but he doesnt have the players to achieve the goal.

    I think that if Bolton get the right man in to replace Coyle i think they could do it, they've got enough time to start a challenge there's only 5 points between Bolton and 6th place

    It pains me to say Leicester look to have finally got their act together and I think Cardiff are looking strong, after Hull beat us I would have said a top two for them but they screw it up with three consecutive defeats, going to be a close one.

    Palace are playing really good stuff, but think they will fade after christmas
    Warnock knows this league, and will be up there at the end, Cardiff will do what
    they do best and blow it! Got to be the super foxes at the end!

    Look at Hull a few weeks ago when they won their cup final. they thought they were Barcelona, now it Festa's turn to get all turned on over a few good results,
    i agree with Daiswan, janaury/february will sort the men from the boys, but i think its gonna be close
    the playoffs would do me just now.

    Every team in this division seems to hit a bad patch at some point. After January its your squad that counts, and so Leicester, Cardiff, Rovers and Bolton should be up there. Palace will suffer like most others, Leeds included, if they have injuries to key players. Blackpool will do well to hang on to Ince in the next transfer window as lower half Prem clubs look to add to their squads. As always the Championship is a fascinating division.

    But often a team just dominates from start to finish but no one has done this this season, makes it more open I suppose

    The relegated teams should be strong because they have many of the prem players from last season, plus parachute money that the rest of us don't get. Birmingham underperformed last season, and still have trouble due to their owner, and if Bolton get a decent manager expect them to move forward.

    So it should be a tight league with up to 14 clubs being involved. If we are not able to bring in a couple of decent players we will struggle to stay in the top 10 if we have injuries. If we manage to get some players, then I'm confident we can do some damage because of Warnocks organisation, motivation and experience. Hull will do well this season due to the manager and the players he's brought in. They are already outscoring their own performances from last season. leicester are dark horses, but the money the new owners pumped in seems to be paying dividends now, so they'll carry on or Pearson is sacked.
