I was surprised with the quality on show with Swansea and Luton.

 

well Luton I expected to be bad with their league position but Swansea are supposedly one of the the better possession teams in the league and they were pretty abject. Really fun game but not for the quality.

 

the Swansea number 6 (Darling), was the standout. 


Harry Darling? Played football with his brother. They lived on the same street as me Mam for a few years. 
 

Always knew he was decent at Cambridge. But surprised he has gone this far and well up to the level by the sounds of it.

That's the one.

 

Looked very assured, looked for the ball and a threat at set pieces.

 

Don't know if he's got another step up in him but definitely a solid championship player.

I used to find the Championship quite fun to watch but I don't know what it is this season, it just feels crap. Maybe I'm just watching bad games, usually Sky's Friday night pick but most games seem to be played out in half empty stadiums with minimal quality on display. Leeds should piss it but the second automatic promotion spot is up for grabs. Sheff Utd don't seem to have the squad for it but are very good when most are available. Burnley are dull. Boro are inconsistent. Norwich have took a punt on a Danish gaffer and every game is full of goals. WBA draw nearly every week and that was enough for Valencia to poach Corberan. The mackems would have to be spectacularly shit in the second half of the season to not make the playoffs because, as has been pointed out, there's no consistency whatsoever and the odds of 2 or 3 teams putting the results together to push them down the table seem slim to none. Teams who were incredibly shit inevitably sack their manager and whoever comes in does slightly better, see Cardiff, Hull, currently Oxford - all of which means about 18 teams can all beat each other, plus a couple of really shit teams and a couple of really good teams.

Agree with everything in your post, but funnily enough the bit in bold is always span as a positive when Sky/pundits try to talk the division up to the viewership. "That's the Championship, anyone can beat anyone, it's a tough division" etc.

Yeah I guess to the casual fan it's probably quite enticing but it's all very cyclical. If you win three games in a row you're a playoff contender.

Aye what is the reason for it dissolving, if it does?

Ah right I see, not financial then. Reasonable question about this place then - I think Guybrush posted something in one of the Forum Issues threads about it a week or two ago. Didn't realise it was such an issue. I would have thought Reddit would be the most natural home for disenfranchised forumers, surely r/SAFC is a thing

As much as I lay into RTG on here, it'd be sad to see that happening. 

 

Possibly a dumb question, but... what's to stop the same happening with this place? 😬

 

I'm no legal expert but I think it's that this place is moderated. Racist posts are taken down and racist posters banned. 

 

It's about the forum taking action, that's what keeps you safe. This place does that. Over there some of them have realised they'll all have to behave and change their ways, or the mods will have to do their jobs, or the forum will close. They don't like any of those choices.
