Football (not Premier League)

We are all watching with interest. Even at his worse, he can't be as bad as Southgate's apprentice.

Opening match. It appears they have listed Thai time.

Yes, I think all Championship games will be shown on Sky this season, so will be available on Doo. True haven't announced their 2024/25 offering yet, so not sure if they will cover Championship as well. I'd rather pay for my package, but Doo is a fantastic fallback if they don't.

We all have to get behind Wayne Rooney, who is currently talking a good job. If his management is half as good as his gob, there will be nothing to worry about. We don't know what constraints he was working under in his other posts. Of course time will tell. At least Argyle supporters are used to disappointment.

A bit of an oldie taken at the 1902 FA Cup Final replay.

It was the last final to be played with Victorian pitch markings...The six-yard-box, we know today, consisted of two semi-circles. Penalties were taken from anywhere along the solid white 12-yard line. The remaining players had to stand behind the intermittent white line as the kick was taken.

I didn't know that and find it interesting.

Relating to the fact Sky are showing all or a lot of Championship matches, and the fact I usually watch the Pilgrims on Argyle TV, does anyone know if that reduces the chances of getting the games on what used to be iFollow?. This concerns many club's 'TV' web streams. I do not have Sky as such, I get games on my company accomodation system which uses BeinSports MENA region.

I don't know for sure, but I'd read somewhere it would replace iFollow.

Anyone interested in a Championship Superbru predictor speak up. Starts in 17 days.

I would, but I'm probably the only one interested in non-Premiership football. Start it, and see if you get anybody sign up. Everybody can follow the relegation maestro into League 1

Yeah, I was thinking of starting it anyway and you and I can play against each other!

[Big Boy]

That puts me at a disadvantage right away. I can't back Plymouth Argyle to do anything other than win

Yes, you can. Don't do a Pharvey/Wales or Caller/Chelsea routine. Forget about allegiance and go for the win!

[Big Boy]

I need an excuse when my season goes tits up.

[PeteC]

I'll set it up tomorrow.

Hell PeteC, my allegiance to Wales is by birth - perhaps Caller's Chelsea allegiance is also! Then again I have supported Bath Rugby and Llanelli (now Scarlets) for many, many years - I shan't give up!!

As for the "Championship League", I know ZIP - pretty much as it goes for my knowledge of Football in general (please note my politeness there ). I will of course support a Welsh side and as memory serves (from a long, long, long while back), Swansea (Abertawe in the correct tongue), "Swansea FC" made it from the old 4th to 1st Divisions in successive years...

Count me in .

Determined to complete one full season of a predictor without dropping out part way through. Only missed one day of the Euros picks, feeling quite confident.
