I've just seen that Leeds have lost at home to Derby and thought I'd have a look at the Championship table. I've only been looking at the top 7 for a while and hadn't realised how many teams are actually involved in the relegation fight. 11th to 22nd is only 5 points ! Leeds could get relegated !
Bristol look favourites for the drop but it would be funny if Leeds and Blackburn joined them. If the season lasted 3 or 4 more games we'd probably be talking about Leicester aswell.
Leicester have the current Championship highest points total for a relegated team-52 Maybe they can go down with 59 points this season?
****ing hell we're closer to relegation zone in 21st than we are to you in 2nd this league is mental.
It is. I've only been looking at the top 7 for the last few weeks. I can't believe there's ever been so many teams in with a chance of being relegated in any league. It's bonkers.

Thats ****ing brilliant! Glad I wasn't a supporter of any of those - you'd have a heart attack nearly every week!
A 3 point gap between 2nd & bottom. Imagine the last day of the season ... That is, unless you supported Mureşul Deva, who were clearly a class apart, walking the league a whole 10 points ahead of last place.
Just us, focus just on us. Don't wish ill on others and laugh inwardly at the ****e, but just us, we will get there.
My favourite team is 'Minerul'. Bloody great set of lads and a real heritage at the club. Up the Minerul!
I remember they had this bloke Jeff Stelleringescu going absolutely mental trying to keep up on the last day of the season. The vidi-printer froze with 10 minutes to go.
