Championship News & Chat

Burton Albion's twitter stated last night "Hope Akpan is sent off". A few wondering whether it had a double meaning!

That depends almost solely on the Hemmings family.

They seem to think that because Hemmings hasn't spent colossal amounts that their "achievements" rank above clubs like Rovers. Hemmings has bailed them out a few times so they shouldn't pretend his presence has been irrelevant. He might not be the main factor if they are promoted but he's certainly been one in keeping them stable. Of course he did employ Derek Shaw for years so probably shouldn't tout him as some kind of expert.

Did either of you get an out of date Preston season ticket ad leaflet delivered? Seems strange if you didn't Thenodrog as what's the point of only targeting parts of Blackburn? Or indeed what the whole point was to begin with. Rovers haven't stooped so low that people will be flocking to Preston instead.

Unless you're a weirdo like Joe Garner who probably felt a common bond with Preston growing up. Maybe nobody cared about him either.

For those thinking Burton v Birmingham would be just another televised fixture perhaps you thought too soon! Millions will now be tuning in praying for even a glimpse of an all time football legend.

A signing which will shock the world if Birmingham pull it off...










Jason Lowe.

Your words seem not only churlish Vinjay but increasingly foolish. Ok so he hasn't attracted the scouts of any of the Champions League teams but this summer and as I frequently predicted, I've only seen Lowe linked with clubs in higher divisions than the one we are in.

Has Kung Fu Panda expanded his empire??
I can't believe Grimsby fans agreed to some of this stuff being done!

Airport level security to watch a minor football match! Crackers...... and all cos no one in authority is prepared to grasp the nettle and address the real cause of the problem.

Streaming of midweek games in the next Sky deal

They are still rowing against the tide here, every game will be streamed soon and the clubs should make more money out of it too. Once clubs can agree their own deals, not as a collective, then the streaming will begin.

I see Arry's gone now! Good! I still believe that he played a part in stiffing us with that Huddersfield carry on! Lets hope Brum see Owen Coyle as a ready made replacement for him.

It's a nice thought but I reckon that Coyle has shot his bolt now. I don't think anyone in this country will take him on again.

How can a sports bookmaker not know that a player is dead?
Ugo Ehiogu offered at 66/1 to replace Redknapp

Because there's a thing called human error. As the article says they reused a template and didn't notice he was on it. More laziness probably.

Its not Paddy Power's style to deliberately cause offence in that manner anyway. Generally they are far more blatant (and funny) with huge billboards, tv ads, etc. Of course this was a blatant mistake (but they had to notice it first) but even the biggest micro managers won't check every last template.

He still has more skills , personality and charisma than ke#n and chimp head put together

Human error or not I 'bet' someone's rightly had a major bollocking.

Rangers fans were known to sing some poor monkeys got a Tony Mowbray head...he does kinda look like Coyle a bit.

Grayson gone...

Did OK at PNE but I doubt many Preston fans would want him back .

QPR owner was on the radio earlier...talking about his apologies to qpr fans and how they shouldn't worry about fines . Imagine the Scummers doing that

Nobend getting stuffed again ...get the tossers relegated
