| Being an Aston Villa fan and supporting a team in the midlands. IMO I think that it would be a good to see at least one of the midlands teams get promoted from the Championship, just for some local derbies. |

JD Complained:
| Quote: | | We've won a few, but lost so many against teams we shouldn't of, and we really need a striker who can stick it in the net |
| Quote: | | It may not have felt like it at times, especially at home, but with an average of 14 efforts on goal per game, it could be argued that Saints are the most attacking and entertaining team in the division, but unless we start improving our ratio of shots per goal, we won't be celebrating Promotion or a play-off place. |
Leeds Utd 0 Southampton 3
I wish Plymouth had a goalscoring problem like the Saints!

Saints got it right this week, at least they put some in the net. But a lot of teams have been doing that against Leeds this season.

Anybody that beats Leeds is a Saint by my standards. Put the scum bags in the Dr. Marten league where they belong.
As for Plymouth they seem to be suffering from the Chelsea syndrome this season. Difficult to beat but always a struggle to win.

Burnley lost yesterday. 
Now looks Leeds going to down this season...and play next season league one. 
At the moment is hot East Anglia derby Ipswich-Norwich. Half time result 1-1.

JD,
Another 4 goals last night! Your lads are free scoring now. Maybe they tune in to HHAD and didn't appreciate the criticsm  We won't mention the defence last night
More importantly, can you give me a link to that table you provided on 13 Nov please? I found that particularly interesting.

I can't get onto the site I originaly copied the table from but have found the following link with all sorts of current stats on, hope it works.
http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/page/DivisionalStats/0,,10794,00.html
As for Saints  I bragged how easy it was going to be this season when they were lying third, they then never won a game for a month. I then moaned about them not being able to score and they've stuck 13 goals in the net in the last four games.
I'm not saying anything else, Southend this week, the leagues top scorers against the leagues worst defence (goals against). I bet we mess it up somehow.

Shame about the original stats, but these are very interesting anyway

| The Saints are going up JD. Birmingham champions. Southampton second or third. That was my pre-season championship bet, and i am in great form for all divisions. Shame i am not doing so well in the Hua Hin fantasy football league. |

A special treat for football fans in the UK on SKY Sports TV tonight - Plymouth Argyle vs Coventry City. Now that Plymouth have done their wheeling & dealing in the transfer market, this will be their notification to the world that they are about to make a serious challenge for a play-off spot. I'm looking forward to a goals feast of gigantic proportions!
In the unlikely event that they don't make it to the Premiership this season, I was wondering if games from the lower divisions get shown in Thailand?
Basically, is the Big Match on TV in Thailand tonight? If it isn't, it answers my earlier question about football from the lower divisions being available in Thailand.

Yes, match is live on Supersport 3, the South African channel, not UBC. Problem about almost all midweek games is, it starts 2.45am Thai time. If you were in Hua Hin, we would just leave you to lock up!!

It wouldn't be the first time. There was a similar arrangement when I suffered the Danes slaughtering the English in Aug 05.
Thanks anyway - very re-assuring. Its good to know that in the unlikely event of Plymouth not gaining promotion to the Premiership, I won't lose touch altogether.

Another odd question from a weird Yank, or a weird question from an odd Yank...whichever.
I saw the Premiership standings table on the BBC today. All the teams go by only their city names, except Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers. I can understand Manchester using the 'united' tag as perhaps historically the team was made up from many local area Manchester teams?
However, I do not get the name 'wanderers' for Bolton? Better at away matches than home matches? Really don't like Bolton and want to leave? Strikers, midfield and defense wander all over the place?  Just trying to figure it out. Pete |

Pete,
You'd better hope there are no Bolton fans on this forum - you've just committed the ultimate sin by asking the question in the Championship section. They are a well established Premiership side - a league above.
