I think Leicester won't need much to be comfortable Burnley ran away with the league but they won by the odd goal a lot (fair play you do what you can) they didn't look as good as Leicester do imo Leeds, Southampton both look in much better nick than Sheffield United did Think Ipswich would find it tough but they again should be better than Sheffield United have been We'll see next season. Unless you have plenty of money and can persuade quality players to come to a newly promoted club you stand little chance. Fair play to a Luton, they've made a good fist of it by sticking to their blue print but will still come down. Look at how much money Forest have spent in two seasons yet they are still fighting relegation. It seems to be getting more difficult. Brentford have done well but you wouldn't bet against them getting relegated in the next couple of seasons. Holding on to Toney and their manager is key. I feel that the landscape has changed even since they went up though.

Bbc.co.uk saying the Sheff Utd drubbing was the worst Premier league display by a team. After being 5 down in 39 first half minutes. Jamie Carragher jumping in with "It's probably one of the worst performances I've ever seen. I can't think of anything worse I've ever seen in a half of football than that. Perhaps you have forgotten JC about Liverpool being 5-0 down in 45mins at the home of football. 🤣🤣🤣 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68474634The start is the fastest five goals scored in the Premier by an away team. Surely our win was a “bigger scalp “

This is the depressing thing because there is a good chance that these 3 will dominate the Championship again next season. You look at teams like Coventry, WBA, Hull and Norwich fighting for Play-Off places and wonder what's in store for them if they actually do go up? It is a sad indictment of promotion to the Premier. There is a good chance that Leicester, Leeds and whoever else will all be involved in a relegation battle next season. Remember how Burnley walked this league last year? Not only are the financial rewards far greater in the Premier but FFP in the Championship makes it impossible to build even half a team ready for the Premier and obey the rules. The playoff finals in 2019 were a pivotal moment for both Villa and Derby who had both wildly overspent to get promoted. Villa won, went up with no penalty for breaking the rules and look at them now. If Derby had won Villa would be where Derby are now. Villa still seem to be able to lose £120m last year alone and apparently be in the P&S rules.

Do you understand how Argentinian football league is structured because they seem to change it every year and now there are 2 groups and 28 teams in their top division? I never heard of Instituto AAC before, but I see they are top of the league!

www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leicester-city-ffp-points-deduction-28748636.ampTime for a bit of consistency? When they last got promoted Leicester paid a sum to the EFL for breaking the FFP rules and to avoid a points deduction if they got relegated as they did at the end of last season. I wonder where they'd be now if they'd been given the points deduction they were due? Yet they continue to disregard the rules. I don't want to say poor Stoke because we had our chance and blew it but why do some clubs seem to be allowed to break the rules year after year while Stoke were cutting back to stay within the rules even though we have a rich chairman/owner

Boro and Watford's horrific form continuing. In that group of teams on 44, along with Bristol City, who should be okay - but you never know
