CHAMPIONS

Championship West Bromwich Albion

comment on the article

West Bromwich Albion, that is! Deservedly so, too! We are the best team in the Championship and have been all season, and today we proved it.

West Bromwich Albion have won the most games in the Championship, 23.

West Bromwich Albion have scored the most league goals in all England, 88.

All hail the best team outside the Premiership - West Bromwich Albion.

All hail the best manager outside the Premiership - Tony Mowbray.

Oh, and congrats to Stoke City too - I hear Leicester should have had four penalties!

Being a Bristol City fan I have to say congrats on getting promoted. Over the whole season you have been the most consistant team, and were it not for the FA cup run you would have probably had more points. I think this season has thrown up a few surprises with Stoke, ourselves and Hull all being up there in the top 4 positions and I hope we can dispatch palace and whoever we get in the final to join you and Stoke in the premiership smiley

Congrats to West Brom, alot of the football played has been breathtaking stuff. But one thing concerns me, can you replicate this in the premier league next season? Can you get away with trying to play attacking football against those who do it best with the wallets of billionaires.

Credit to the manager for getting his players to play that way, and now the board need to show faith, invest in players capable of playing that kind of football at the worlds biggest stage.

No one is suggesting we'll be able to play that kind of football against the top 4, but anyone below that its much of a muchness.

We need some new defenders, that is undoubted, but to suggest that all 17 teams currently in the Prem are better than West Brom is a little blinkered.

I'm pretty sure in our last season in the Prem we took 4 points off of Arsenal, so I'm not too worried about "the big boys" either, only Ronaldo.

Youre all under the illusion that playing passing football means you will do well, you seem to forget its a different level of ability, doesnt matter if youre passing or not. Reading and Derby are passing teams...

To stay up you have to consistantly beat the teams at the bottom not the top.

Anyway west brom are the ultimate yoyo club and unless they spend a lot of money they will keep being so.

Hibs Fan here. Great to see our Beloved Mowbray get his wishes by managing in the Premier League.

He did great things for Hibs and brought attractive free flowing football. I'm excited to see what he does with WBA next season.

All the best.

I hope that Mowbray's promise of keeping the entertaining football is kept. It's been far too long since a club has come up and just had no fear. Don't forget the last time Mowbray had Premiership affiliations: player coach during Ipswich's 2000-2001 5th place finish directlty after promotion...

Tony Mobray must cut the rubbish 0ut of his squad (there are some bad players in there). His good ones that I think will make it in Da Prem are Kev. Phillips and Ishmael Miller and Zoltan Gera and a few others but his squad needs major streangthening as they were inconsistent this year - they need premiership experience to hold out for victories - people like Diouf who know the score.
At least 30 million to do it...
