Re: The Championship? This is stupid
It was confusing when Div 2 became div 1, but now the old Div 3 is becoming the new Div 1, woah.
I bet Platini or Blatter suggested this to some idiot at the FA.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
first impressions : awful
division 1 being called division 1 was already misleading when the premiership was above it, but now division 2 (the old division 3 ffs) will be called division 1 when division 1 becomes the mighty "championship"
btw, is this Brian Mawhinney (chairman of "the championship") still a Tory MP?

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
Not since 97, if memory serves.
[edit]
They can call it the SUPERMEGA AMAZOLEAGUE, but it wouldn't change anything, especially if you're going to watch Bristol City vs Huddersfield, or something like that; it's the elite of the english leagues all right. I don't think they 'get' this.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
In fairness to the chap the div 1 champions still lift the old trophy that has been around - though tbh it would be far more beneficial to revamp the playoff system rather than rename the league, as this is something that actually needs looking at.
If anything it shows up the difference between 'Prem' and 'Football League' even more.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
This is shit.
It's not confusing but what difference does it make to those teams promoted/relegated from/to the Premiership?

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
What sort of nonsense is this?
So the winners will be the Champions of the Championship? Surely a Championship has Champions of something in it, not the second rate teams that win nothing...?

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
I'd have played Kluivert, but I dont know his form etc that well

RvN has had a poor seasons by his standards, but his was still absolutely and comparatively better than Kluivert's.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
Kluivert shouldn't be played, but it's not entirely his fault that he had a 'bad' season - he hardly got a single game. More like no season at all.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
RvN has yet to play a convincing match in the national squad. All he's done so far is fall over, be absolutely not involved in the game and complain about how he should be the leader of the team.
I'd sooner put Makaay and Kluivert on the pitch than him, although it remains to be seen whether he'll play better in a system where he is the only striker with two wingers.

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
I'd drop RvN from the team just so that when he was sad about it, I could ask "why the long face?"

Re: The Championship? This is stupid
I personally feel this is unfair on Division 2. It should be called Division A, or THE X LEAGUE or something that doesnt suggest its insignificant compared to the three division ones.
