Just wondering is it just me? Despite our new found status I'm still paying a lot of attention to the Championship results.I'm still avidly watching the FL show and particularly enjoying the suffering of Ferguson at Posh! Not so happy about Brighton though.

Are others doing the same or has the Championship been erased from your minds?
 
Nope, I'm still watching.
I pay a lot of attention to the Championship (following on from last year)and League Two (due to local side Southend and I also like Oxford), League One - not so much.
 
Yep, still paying attention. I like the relative lack of hype. It reminds me of football played in a different era, though the quality is still pretty bloody great. Craig Bellamy's free kick, the other day would have had the MOTD pundits gasping for breath, but it was saved for TFLS. I haven't seen power and accuracy quite so well contained for a long time.

I tune in to see how the loanees and ex-Saints are going. Funnily enough, I have less interest in ex-Saints plying their trade in the PL than in the lower leagues.

I do the same TSS. Strange that I have very little interest in how Dyer or Surman are doing for instance compared to Sharp or Barnard.
 
The Football League in general is very exciting, because it is so unpredictable.

Love it.

Haven't even watched MOTD this season!

Only TFLS.
 
Blackburn have started well but will have to hope they keep it up as they have spent a lot of money. Blackpool must be optimistic having held onto their squad. But it hasn't been a very good start for the other two relegated clubs, or Leicester. Shame about the BBC online highlights going as well.
 
Think it's interesting that the top half of the table is pretty similar to last year with Hull, Boro, Cardiff and Blackpool all right up there.
 
I too have been following whats going on. Strange, because when we were in L1 I took no notice of either the Championship nor the EPL - just us. But I enjoyed the Championship so much last season - I still have to see how the teams are doing.

Yep, they were very successful, I think. So I imagine SKY paid to that. At least the iPlayer means we can stop the action, have a re-look at the odd incident, but the games are much more truncated than the highlights that used to be selected for the BBC Football website.

Lamb, I am exactly the same. I have very little interest in seeing Dyer, Surman, OXO or Walcott, although I did see the 6-1 and appreciated Walcott not celebrating his goal, because he hasn't been a Saints player for 6 years, yet he didn't forget his former club. This season it is inevitable that I'll see these ex-Saints, though I'm not excited about it.

I love the Championship, but if I'm honest with you, I'd be scared to go back. Better stay up then. :)

I hope we are in the minority. :) because I really want Saints to retain their PL status, and go on to become more successful. What I also want though is for the PL to change from being the over-hyped, over-priced, over-paid league that it is.
