Nice Idea

Great result from Leicester today

Very relaxed tonight

Leeds getting smoked by Southampton...

Leeds fans can hush their cocky gums now.. beaten 3-1 by a newly promoted side. Whey.

[Marky-Plant]

I agree

2nd from bottom

Dirty Leeds

I actually want Leeds back in the Prem, Forest too. Hate them all you want but those clubs have a lot of history, they should be in the Premiership. I miss some of the derbies of my youth, United v Leeds in particular. That being said nobody has a right to first division football, you have to earn it. Losing to recently promoted Southampton 3-1 isn't helping.

The Brighton/Doncaster Rovers match was fantastic today, two late goals from Will Buckley to win it for BHA. Great atmosphere throughout at the new stadium. Gotta love FSC Plus here in the states.

Todays match is West Ham v Cardiff

Hoping for a draw because West Ham are our main rivals this year in terms of going up

[Marky-Plant]

West ham still have a very strong team

Lets see if cardiff can beat them

[SweSpurs]

Would like to see either Leeds, Southampton, Leicester or Crystal Palace in Premier next season

[Marky-Plant]

Thanks

What about West Ham

They look very strong today

[Marky-Plant]

Cardiff have beaten west ham

Get in!

[BlueCrew LA]

[BlueCrew LA]

Peterborough 7-1 Ipswich.... Wow...
