The fact that you mention Albion and Stoke City in the same breath leads me to believe that you haven’t watched any of the games. The concept of a USAian commenting on English grammar and spelling really amuses me. TOTALLY!

I’m not denying that what WBA, and for that matter, Stoke City, has done is an achievement. I think making it out of the Championship is a terrific accomplishment given the relative equality and parity in the league.

I just don’t think any of the three promoted teams will survive next year. Just my opinion, and I’ll wait until I hear someone else other than a West Brom fan make a convincing argument for me to reconsider it.

Well done by WBA for sure. It’s an achievement no matter what your views are of the quality of the Championship. Is it a forgone conclusion that they must go down. No! lets face it a 15th place finish in the Prem is completely within reach, not to mention 16th. The lower level clubs in the Prem have nothing to be really excited about, lets face it they barely have hung on this year. We should not forget the race in the Prem this year was for what 2 teams would go down, since Derby gave up any hope the day they got promoted to stay up.

The real issue seems to be has the quality of the championship declined to such an extent that only one club can hope to stay up. That I think has to be answered in the affirmative.

No, your previous comment was irrelevant to the subject matter of my post.

Apparently you Brits have no understanding WHATSOEVER of spelling and grammar. COMPLETELY.

Its completey relevant Michael, you Americans have no understanding whatso-ever of proper football, all your sports games are based on stats, have you ever watched a game of football properly, I doubt it.
