Championship Discussion - Season 2011-2012

Soton almost home after beating Palace 2-0 with a brace from who else but Lambert.

Almost home. Reading on friday.

[MatteeG]

We haven't lost too many this year - missing a penalty early as well as a one on one with the keeper doesn't help but **** me - pricks? Calling from the kick, i know.

Yes. Pricks.

The emotion has subsided for now.

Derby defeated Leeds for a 7th time in a row

Soton almost home after beating Palace 2-0

4 games each to go, and to get PROMOTION...

6 is Soton "Magic Number"
7 for Reading (need 1 point more as their goal difference may not be enough).

Wins reduce a teams number by 3, a draw by 1.
West Ham losses will decrease both Soton and Reading's Magic Numbers by 3. Hammers draws would minus 2.

So Soton could get there this weekend, with a win and a Hammers loss - the only assumption being that the Hammers couldn't make up the 13*+ goal difference in 3 games. (Currently 11 but a Soton win and Hammers loss would add at least 2 to this).

Tipping Soton to edge them

Its massive, the winner gets an almost unassailable advantage in the promotion race. Soton are worthy favourites on their home turf, but the Royals form is hot. Game on.

Tbh, I just want to see a Hammers loss, as Imho this game i pencilled in a Soton win anyway. If Reading can draw woohoo. A win and I am going to really party. CMON Royals!!! :-D:-D:-D:-D

I think most people want a Hammers loss, they can stay in the Championship with Leeds

Southampton 1 - 3 Reading.

I think we are going up
Just 3 points needed now, or a WHU loss.

Really dominant display. Both you guys will go up

Dominant by who? Reading had only 3 shots on goal and scored each time! I lost count how many shots we had. Ball played in Reading's half most of the night. Total domination by Southampton which deserved 3 points, at the very least 1 point. To get nothing leaves a shit taste in my mouth.
Well done to the royals though, took their chances and have won 16 of their last 18.

Yes i missed half my post. Reading were dominant where it counts, made the most of their chances. Soton probably deserved a point but were just not clinical in front of goals.
Still think both sides are safe though, only a matter of who will go up as champions.
From recent memory the Champions usually fare worse off the following season with the big boys anyway

Dominant by who? Reading had only 3 shots on goal .... Total domination by Southampton.

Yes, it was a smash and grab by Reading for sure. Soton were very very good, just let down by a bit of poor defending. Plus Reading were amazingly good at taking their limited chances - sign of a great team.

West Ham 6
Brighton 0

West Ham 6
Brighton 0

Hammers now 3 pts behind 2nd placed Saints, goal difference was 11 before this weekend, now back to 3!
West Ham have Bristol City away, Leicester away and Hull at home.
Southampton have Middlesborough away, Peterborough away and Coventry at home.

[Jim05]

Donnies the first side relegated

[Jim05]

Reading promoted to EPL after beating Forest 1-0.
West Ham dropped points against lowly Bristol City.
Soton within sights of promotion also after a 3-1 over the Posh.
Leeds, Burnley, Leicester and Brighton had their playoff hopes ended today.

[Spargo]

Congrats to the Royals.
My beloved Saints virtually 1 point from the promised land.
