• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Championship and below 2015/16

The Bantams are flying at the moment, 6th place, decent 0 - 0 against Coventry last night, 8 clean sheets on the bounce and a team that's actually looking like a decent side now - not the hoofball dinasaur team that most pundits say we are.
Certainly looks like you have turned the season round after a bad start. I assume your pitch is better than last season, which should help playing better football.

Yes 100% better than last season, although that wasn't hard to be better. Playing so much more football than previous seasons, less hoofball and more ball on the floor which is a shock for us.

Still the World's coldest place to watch football, Bradford. :D Watched Watford up there years ago. I was at the back, right behind the goal with the freeeeeeeezing wind whistling across the plain and up my back.

Tshirts when we were there.:) Now Carlisle that was cold.
 
Oldham has to be coldest ground, went to watch Spurs play there about 25 years ago and I've only just thawed out!!! But yes Valley Parade is a cold ground, the wind just blows right round all the stands.

Coldest I have ever been at a match was last season at home to Wigan. I never leave before the end of a game, and we were 2-0 down and wouldn't have scored if we had played all night. Oddly enough we nearly did as the referee found eleven minutes of injury time.:eek: At the end of that he added two more minutes.:mad: There were no major injuries just the most blatant time wasting which unfortunately the referee had spotted.

Not too disappointed when Wigan went down.:whistle:
 
Go on the Forest!!!! In your face Richart :) :)
Not much to shout about this season but we have actually scored goals and won for a change

Grimsby. Went there first game of the season and it was about 20 degrees when we left. Terrace, a wall and the North sea and it was about 10 degrees feeling like 2 in the wind chill, standing their in a thin footie top. Never been so cold ever at a game before or since including Poland in Winter
 
Woking have just featured on a SS2 advert for FM 2016!
I'm playing FM 2015 and currently have Woking 7pts clear in The Championship with four games to go!

Slime.
 
Mate, at least your still in the top half. We are still looking at a relegation battle unless we can score more often.
 
Preston haven't scored a headed goal all season and took just 11 minutes to rectify that (thanks for Hawkeye's FB post for that great stat!). Managed a draw but more lost points. Mid table at best I think. Worried that we can't find anyone mad enough to manage us. Perhaps we're waiting on Pep to be ready
 
The might Boro are definitely winning ugly at present. We're not dominating anyone. 3 shots on goal, and 2 goals but. It sounded as poor as the QPR performance. Still 3 pts, and into 2nd place. If you'd offered that to me at the start of the season I'd have snapped your hand off. But we're the flair gone from the early season performances????
 
a few shock results this weekend ,Hull coming adrift friday ,ok not really a shock as Derby are a good side. Burnley very nearly throwing it all away ,two goals in the last five minutes got them out of jail.
Rotherham winning again ,thats two on the spin now ,still in the rele places though .Leeds getting it wrong again losing to QPR .Boro looking like they can be a real handful for any side winning as already said ,ugly.
and then theres Reading ,i mean Forest for christs sake ,still nobody is running away with it and any team in the top half have a chance of promotion.

Ugly until May and automatic promotion. You'd take that wouldn't you?
 
In the proper non-prem games, it was another 10 goal thriller for Charnock Richard FC! 2nd ten goaler this year. Just happens that this time it was a 10-0 win.

Not bad for the only team in our league that doesn't pay a single player.

Good question. You'd be surprised how many fans are saying they would prefer to stay in the Championship and play well than go up and get caned every week. Current form might get them promoted but nicking a win playing like that in the Prem won't happen. Yes, the odd ugly win but I'd prefer promotion with flair. At least that way we'd be going up based on skill not playing worse than the club we beat.
 
One for Richart, the painter and decorator painting the communal areas in my mum and dads UK residence played 396 games for reading in the 80's. Scored 44 goals!
