Wolves, Birmingham, Burnley, Blackpool, Leicester, Boro, Leeds. You could go back and look at the likes of Cov, Debry too. Look where Cov are now.

Sadly bar a few exceptions this league is a bit of a shock to most.

And yet I was almost laughed at when I mentioned this before the start of the season!!!

Not by me. You only have to look at the number of teams that have dropped out of the top flight into the Championship and never made it back.

I know you didn't, RT, one of the few that didn't!

Too many to mention, even at the start of the season I mentioned that there were only 3 teams that had never played in the Premier League so the competition was/is strong fierce and will take until near the end of the season to see who actually has the strength for promotion or not.

ps I was also laughed at, by many, at teh suggestion that Crystal Palace would be in the frame for promotion - and look where they are compared to ourselves.
