First blood to Rotherham. Up the Millers!

It's actually the other way round, the player of the season is not the top scorer more often than not. They get lazier as they go down the leagues though, I'll give you that... 5 of the last 15 Championship players of the season were also top scorer. 7 of the last 15 League One players of the...

I thought the same which is why I was taken aback when I read today it was shared by the 20 Prem clubs. Thanks to Kenneth E End I now understand it was a recent change which is probably why I didn’t know.

I knew that a club's parachute payments stopped if they gain promotion but only learned today that the money the Premier League "saves" in these cases is split between the 20 Premier League clubs instead of being filtered down the pyramid. Obviously not really surprised - it'd be very off-brand...

I know this is tongue in cheek but would it change anything? Sure a different team might win the Championship but surely they wouldn't make it to the Premier League having to go through a league solely containing "yo-yo" teams? Or is it a division just for recently relegated teams? So a...

Never three. Times *all* relegated sides went straight back up (since 1898–1899 when automatic promotion/relegation was introduced): 1899–1900: The Wednesday (Sheff Wed), Bolton Wanderers 1902–1903: Manchester City, Small Heath (Birmingham) 1914–1915: Derby County, Preston North End**...

Bit of an overreaction. We didn’t turn up and lost 1-0 to one of the best sides in the division. Watford deserved the win, easily, but they hardly looked like world beaters. They look more reliant on Sarr than we are on Emi and that’s saying something.

Tbf we were on course to destroy Bournemouth before Pearson lunged in on Dimi and got him sent off. This one after a weekend of celebrating and Watford needing the win isn’t much of a surprise.

Players have looked hungover all game, not surprising but I think Farke is still drunk. Taken off half the defence for wingers :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think Luton killed the title race. Even after this defeat, 1 win or even 3 draws from our last 3 should be enough. But yeah, we look every bit as poor as I expected.

Need to deal with Sarr. Very lucky to be nil still. Not sure this is a game for Quintilla. But would Sorensen do any better? Miss Dimi already.

Second best all over the pitch so far. edit - on reflection I’m being very generous there. Do we know there is a game on?

You don't have to be better, just lunge at one of our players and get them sent off... But nah, being serious, I fully expect you to win tonight. Even if Hanley plays - which I imagine he'll want to - he'll not be close to his best and while Omobamidele has done well since coming in, he's still...

Aye. Tried to disallow the equaliser despite it not even being close to offside. Not sure what made him overrule the linesman but he was right to. But he undoes that by allowing them the third. It was the clearest offside of the night. Bizarre performance from the officials. Not really sure how...

Offside. But let them carry on until they score, sure. Good job we’re already up.
