    They have Cardiff away on the 28th (and Cardiff could be in a bit of disarray), and Villa at home on New Year's Day. They need four points from those in the worst way...between the suspensions and their fixture pileup, it won't be getting any easier from that point forward.

    I've said before that I think the top 6 of the Championship are better than the bottom 6 of the PL.

    Maybe they should have a promotion/relegation mini league at the end of the season rather than the current drop zone/promotion+play off zone.

    I'm not so sure. It's a big step up as we found out. Momentum and confidence plays a big part. Teams like Burnley, Leicester, Leeds and derby have built up a head of steam and confidence by winning on the bounce. In the premier league you have to cope with losing to the big teams and then bouncing back.

    Palace seem to have found a formula under pulls, Fulham have improved loads under maulensteen and those were the two that looked really poor at the start. I think the only team better than the current lower half teams is QPR.

    Tend to agree on a one off match maybe but over several games the PL bigger squads etc would hold sway.

    It is a case of mistaken identity: Police are actually looking for a fat, ageing Northerner with a brummie accent. He is wanted for assault on football. It's a serial assault with police in Blackburn, Newcastle, Bolton and East London following a trail of destruction.

    BFS taking the term 'defending his player' a little too literally. lol.

    Now all Spam need is for Carroll to get injured and they'll be right in the poop. Doh.

    At least they've still got their most important player.............Carlton Cole. Hooooooooofffff

    Big game for both teams...I think West ham will edge it (or it's a bore draw).
