cambridgeshire canary 7,800 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Interesting comment. Not sure I agree, but I can see where he is coming from. The nonstop onslaught of games is pretty brutal, as is the good quality of most teams in the top half.  Sure can tire you out and wear you down pretty easily no doubt- Nevermind the quality of some pitches 😉 Edited February 4, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,765 Posted February 4, 2021 The championship is pound for pound the best league in the world. It’s not the same with no fans but it’s always unbearably tight all the way up until the end and provides goals, physicality, non-stop games. It’s just the best. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,645 Posted February 4, 2021 No VAR, No prima Donna's, (well less!), less playacting / gamesmanship in Championship. The gap in between the top / bottom of the prem is much larger that that in the championship. Championship to me is a much better product.  2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst I cant remember the match, I remember the manager saying that all players have ability, the only difference is consistency, and prem league players are more likely to reach their personal heights on a more regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,014 Posted February 4, 2021 It really isn't the toughest league. We saw for ourselves how relentless the Premier League is. Make a mistake and the ball ends up in the back of your net. Far more margin for error in the lower leagues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He clearly says in the quote that it's the toughest league 'physically' - I think most people would agree with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted February 4, 2021 We all want to get to the Prem, but I've really enjoyed our seasons in the championship recently (and let's face it, winning is nice). The promotion season under AN with a trip to Wembley, the 2nd season under Farke where we had a nice battle with Leeds on our way up and this season has been great (despite not being able to attend). It's much better than parking the bus every week against Man Utd, Liverpool etc. That said, I hope if we go up we can make it work this time, we looked good for the first quarter of last season before we became the whipping boys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
