Dingles are still only 3 points off 6th aren't they despite putting in a relegation performance for the past month or so?

Its actually 4 points, and they're the only team in the top half with a neg GD. In addition, Wolves and Ipswich are still yet to play their games in hand. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dingles finished in the bottom half.

Stoke are scared, Bristol City don't score goals, Hull are surprising everyone including themselves, Watford are ugly, West Brom are bottlers too often. Take your pick.

Ok then, err

West Brom (best footballing team)

Hull (they know no fear)

and Palace (Warnock knows how to do it and isn't afraid to chance it)

More than peeved...

Not because clubs are loaning good young players to Championship sides, but because Chelsea went back on a promise to send Sinclair to Burnley. He would make a difference anywhere at that level.

Pardon my FM ignorance if I'm wrong, but isn't the decision also the players?

I think each and everyone of the current promotion chasers are suffering some sort of bottle loss.

They are all nervous and it is evidenced on the pitch. Bristol City, Stoke, Watford, WBA have all wobbled with odd results from games they would normally have won. Plymouth have gone off the boil, as have Wolves and Ipswich. Hull and palace appear to be the teams in a little bit of form whilst the rest, including little old Burnley, have choked.

It may be the case of the fingers touching the richest pot in history and turning to jelly !

This weekend will be interesting and I am sure we will see the top 6 established as we reach the final 3 games stage.

Who will be the strongest ?

Who will be the weakest ?

If your a Championship club supporter then that rocky ride hasnt settled just yet.

In this case, no. It was decided by his agent when he went to Charlton - which was a big mistake - and then a Chelsea official over-ruled Grant and sent him to Palace.

Heard it before and checked it...told it was wrong.

Heard it again today and checked it...told it is still wrong.

Shepherd is enjoying his time out of the game and not interested in buying a club too soon. Allardyce is in Dubai, doing TV work at £10,000 a show.

Nicko, don't know if you have commented on this earlier, but is the rumours about Collins taking over for Hodgson true? Might put a few quid on betfair if thats true.

The Independent today had a brief story about AC Milan lining up Chris Samba in the summer. Any truth in this at all? Looks to me like it was a very slow day for news at Indy Towers. It's up there with the Barcelona want Lucas Neill rumour.

SAMBA...Not heard the AC Milan rumours and doubt there is anything in them.

SHEFF WED...Takeover meant to be still at the talking stage, but as we know that is cheap.

FULHAM...I would be surprised if Hodgson's contract extended beyond the end of this season anyway. So if he goes it will be a quick one - and they will need someone to come in fast and get the thing going again. Collins is available, popular and quite good.

Pretty sure he'll become director of football.

Nicko, you said Pardew didn't like Sinclair when he saw him play. So why did he sign him if he didn't know his game? What happened there?

I've often wondered how much TV pundits are paid. Obviously the mainstays like Hansen, Shearer and Lawrenson will be on good money but more interesting would be the fees for the the occasional experts like Tim Sherwood and Neil Warnock.
