Is the Championship really that bad?

[North Cardiff Blue]

Burnley, Sheffield United, and Blackburn in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

I know they are the best teams, but there are some good teams still in this league, I do feel the gap is growing though from the top eight or so down.

Re: Is the Championship really that bad?

It's a great league and therefore vital that we stay in it

People who say it's crap clearly spend far too much watching Premier League nonsense on SKY

I can't be doing with the complete lack of contact in the top flight or the diving and cheating

Of course we get that in the championship but the level of play acting in the big league is pathetic

So are Grimsby.

Hoping we stay up and Everton come down and we both stay in the division for a few years. Bramley Moore would be the jewel in the crown of the Championship.

Championship is hugely better than the Premier League. It's more real 👍

I admire teams who go up and piss off the entitled clubs ....by beating them ....despite their diving

Brentford , Burnley , Brighton

If we were to go up then I would hate us to turn into a team of highly paid play acting divers

Jay Bothroyd was a great player but a complete fake , it was embarrassing at times

Re: Is the Championship really that bad?

Unless they draw each other in the semis, I can't see anything but a Manchester derby for the final.

Also "bad" is a relative term. Obviously, the football is way below EPL standards in terms of quality, but this doesn't necessarily make it less enjoyable or less important. But in terms of it not being a strong division with several good sides, then yes, it's pretty bad. I've seen several postings of Chopra's goal against the Wurzels in 2009. That side would absolutely murder the one we have now and they still only finished 4th and lost 14 games.

Championship players are just as culpable when it comes to being highly paid, play-acting divers. They're just not as highly paid as their EPL counterparts.

Re: Is the Championship really that bad?

Blackburn were utter sh!t in both games against us.

Re: Is the Championship really that bad?

So are Grimsby.

So are Man City/United.

Obv Leeds to come down too…..and saints for a change of scene?

I don’t think there is much between any of the clubs from the top two down….a few decent players and a bit of confidence and any can go on a run like boro and West Brom have, even the wurzels have picked up….

This is so true. So is the use of the word entitled.

Absolute cobblers

In the leagues outside of the Premier you get play acting and diving but the big time Charlie's are at it all game , every game

They should be sending the cheats off for it

And banning them retrospectively

Stamp it out or we may as well take up ballroom 💃
