Well they say its the poorest championship for years, so many teams can win it. But between Stoke and West Brom, id pick West Brom. Kevin Philips is scoring plenty of goals for them, and they have a strong enough squad.
You might want to look at Hull as an outside bet, they are in good form!
That, in my opinion is why its such an exciting league - almost anyone can be in the top 5. All through the season smaller, less wealthy clubs have beaten some of the "big" clubs. With the premiership the way it is, anyone with any football knowledge could get mighty close to naming the final 20 positionings before the season kicked off. In real terms we all knew the first 4 clubs in the premier - just not necessarliy what order. We also knew the bottom 4 clubs. Within reason of course. That was NOT the case with the championship which is one of the reasons i love it so much more.
Plus its got my team in there.
I often wondered why someone doesn't offer a tipping forum here, maybe on a friday. or at least some random thoughts as to how the weekend shapes up for football or horses.
