Interesting discussion, surprised so many mentioning Blues as promotion candidates but Brighton attracting lots of praise too. http://twofootedtackle.com/the-championship/five-go-predicting-the-championship/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ChrisNee+%28twofootedtackle%29

With potential to push on for play off as are L**ds.
just spotted this on the bbc site talking about the decline of the standard of football in yorkshire http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14365978.stmnot the best article as it does not mention the fact that hull are a well established in the championship. With potential to push on for play off as are L**ds. But it does have some interesting stats.
From what I've heard from Leeds supporters they aren't looking forward to this season that much. There seems to have been a lot of bullshit spouted by the club and no action regarding replacing the players they have lost.

The only hideous Scottish football related 1978 Chrysler advert I can find (after 10 seconds Googling) is this one:
I'm a Leeds fan (albeit of the armchair variety) and think it would be a minor miracle if we scraped into midtable. The squad is much weaker than it was at the end of last season with Kasper Schmeichel, Kilkenny and Johnson all leaving during the window. Any money from those sales and that of Delph etc. has presumably disappeared permanently into whatever Cayman Islands tax dodge now owns the club. The only "signing" has been a 34yo Michael Brown on a free and nobody expects that there's more yet to come. Added to that, our first choice strikers (Becchio and Somma) now have long term injuries - both out for up to 6 months. The records of their replacements (Paynter and McCormack) make Heskey look prolific. The only bright-spots are that we still have Snodgrass and Gradel, although the January transfer window will likely bring fresh horrors in that respect. There's a feeling that the squad is a hostage to the whims of Ken Bates; if he wants to buy a new fitted kitchen, he'll have no hesitation in asset stripping the squad to pay for it. In essence, I would be very surprised if our downward trajectory at the end of last season didn't continue.
Can't be bothered going back through the thread but whoever was moaning that the piece on Yorkshire football missed out Hull isn't that because Hull is in Humberside and not Yorkshire.
