It is bizare that Norwich v Leeds or Charlton v Southampton is a league one fixture and Burnley v Stoke and Wolves v Hull are Premier League fixtures.

How football can quickly turn around.

True, it's strange to look at, but every club is in the division they deserve to be in. Having history, a fan base, a stadium, etc are not ways to determine which league you play in, that's done on the pitch.

That's not me having a go by the way, far from it. It's just that some people think the latter part of the paragraph should be enough.

Latest transfer news - Ray Stubbs to ESPN from the Beeb.

Nearly true. However, surely Leeds deserve to be in the Blue Square.

Yeah, some clubs think they have a divine right to be in the top flight.

I don't particular like Chelsea but people have a go at them for having 'no history' but despite them having a history, at this minute in time, they're creating it.

That said decades ago, Burnley, Stoke and Wolves in the top flight would not have been so unusual I guess. Thats what makes football great.

Championship thread please. Then League One thread the season after next.

City's bid for Lescott rejected.

This is the FOOTBALL thread.

£15m apparently. Jagielka is out until November, though.

So why are there SEPARATE threads for the other leagues?

No idea, but I've yet to find the Premiership thread.

He is indeed. Although that is when he hopes to be back. It, of course, could be longer and until he is fully fit won't be risked so I don't see City having any chance of taking Lescott anyway.

It tends to be this one by default. Anything else is frowned upon, more by the posters than the mods.

Aren't you a Leicester fan?

Even if Southampton and Charlton was still in the PL our fanbase would be just as big as theres if not bigger TBH our stadium is better than Charltons aswell.

Obviously you cant really compare our history to any of the clubs above

Yes, so I post Leicester related stuff on the appropriate thread. Surely that doesn't preclude me taking an interest in the Premiership or international football?

I am sure that if I posted about Leicester on this thread I would get short shrift.

Awwww Bless...

Argentina.

How dare you...

You are disrespectful to our soldiers...

I think your behaviour is very wrong considering you're a mod...

You are sick!...

How very dare you

can just see 25 million deal coming in monday and i think moyes will accept he only rejected this so he could get more money. Fair play to him but i cant see him turning down 25 m hes at the point of having to self finace transfers and 25M will get him a few players to give depth too the squad

I disagree. I don't see Hughes offering £10 million more on Monday than he did today and I still don't see Moyes accepting unless Lescott asks to leave.
