Just did some reading on Luton... I thought Vardy was the complete fairytale veteran, playing for Leicester all through League Two to EPL... only to find out that Luton's vice-captain (well, temporarily remade on their last playoff game) is now the only player to have ever played for the same club from non-league football, all the way to the summit.

That, in my opinion, is legend. Too bad he seems to have said he's retiring. "Only" 29!

P.S. Thanks Sirait, for repeating everything that everyone said, and telling us what we already knew. As usual

Vardy was amazing in Leicester last few seasons, but he can't do all the work of keeping team in Premier League.
Shame for Leicester for being relegated from EPL but I am happy to see them in Championship, they are going to be one of the favorites with Leeds, Middlesbrough and Southampton.
Luton will have hard time staying in Premier League but few teams always make surprise results so they are not without chances.

It is time to have a break from EFL Championship now.
We dont know exact dates for new season start but this will be somewhere in August and it will be posted when released officially.
All information will be updated in first post.

How long it was that Luton is not in the Premier League,I believe quite a lot of years and it is great to see them back in the top tier once again.I think Luton has had several financial crisis and have played more in lower tiers than the top tier of England and it will be very interesting to see how they will behave in the Premier League next season.

In theory Luton is the weakest team of the Premier League but that does not mean anything as in the Championship they have had a great run so far which was crowned with gaining access to the Premier League after winning the play offs.I think betting on them to not be relegated from the Premier League should have a really good odd.

I allready wrote about this so you can scroll few posts above to find it.

Reading, Blackpool and Wigan Athletic are relegated this season in EFL Championship but it was very interesting in League One playoff match.
Plymouth Argyle and Ipswich Town came directly in EFL Championship as first two teams, but last team was decided in playoff final between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday.
Promotion was won by Sheffield in last seconds of the very dramatic match!
Watch video highlights from that match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqK2taQcAeg

Now we have a full list of teams that will participate in EFL Championship Season 2023/2024:

I'm definitely going to follow them more next season. I probably dropped out a little once Leeds promoted, but now there's plenty to watch when possible with them back, and of course Southampton and Leicester -- in a way some of my favourite teams no matter what. At the same time, wish Swansea and Watford stayed in.

I don't expect all the stars to still be around, but yeah, see you all next season!

SO, we are gonna use the Championship as a pre-heating of our engines,  one week before the start of Premier League, Championship its the only "B" league or second division, whatever you want to name it, who its really fun to watch or its interesting to follow. 46 rounds of really good match ups.

it is very sad to see licester in the second division, they used to play well, they were a team that managed to create difficulties for the big teams in the premier league and this season they will be playing in the second division to be able to return to the first division, a task that will not be not easy because usually a first division team when they are relegated doesn't just lose their place in the first division, it loses its good players and coach and money, just see the case of watford that played well in the premier league, but when it was relegated it didn't managed to get good results, they don't even look like the same team that was in the premier league

well, for me this season I'm rooting for leeds, they that in the premier league were a team that played very well, I don't know what went so wrong for them to reach the point of being relegated but if they could play as well as in the premier league, something that it won't be easy if they don't have the same squad, they could return to the premier league. so I'm rooting for them. Leicester will also be another candidate for promotion, as for Southampton I also see them as a favorite team for promotion, in their first friendly against Benfica they lost 2 - 0. Leeds also lost in their first friendly against Manchester United

With Leicester city, Southampton and Leeds United down in the EFL English Championship  after being relegated, it remains to be seen how the coming season will pan out. Can any of the 3 teams mount a come back to the premier asap? Will they get worse in the EFL English Championship ?

Will Sunderland do better from lasts season play off lessons? Can Middlesbrough do better than last season play off place?
Great season ahead; don't be left out !!!!

Historically when teams go down from Premier League into Championship they are split in two ways, two fights in the top and surely one make the comeback fast to Premier League, but always one strugled a lot and they are more close to relegation than from promotion, its really strange but its like the crisis doesnt end when they go down. An example of this its Sunderland going also into League one, or Wigan.

@darxiaomi I feel that Leicester will thrive in this league and I won’t be surprised if Southampton also rediscover their lost form thus I believe that these two team’s will fight for the top 2 spot’s. Furthermore if they fail to qualify for the premier league then their fan’s will be bitterly disappointed as both have quality player’s and now let’s hope that they put in their best performances once the league starts.

OK guys it was enough resting during the summer, big leagues are starting soon but EFL Championship is kicking off this weekend so better get ready

First match is played between Southampon and Sheffield Wednesday this Friday on August 4, and for celebration Sportsbet decided to sponsor another competition!
Both teams have new managers, Xisco Muñoz signed for Sheffield and  Russell Martin signed for Southampton and he had more time to get familiar with players.
Odds are slightly on Southampton side, and they are much better in H2H matches, but Sheffield has advantage of home field, so this will be very interesting match.

Tom Brady is just confirmed as new advisory board chief for Birmingham City, seems that he doesn't know much about Soccer, but he knows how to motivate players to win in series
with odds for their promotion standing around @20, it could be a good value for throught season

Southampton is starting tomorrow against Sheffield, should be an interesting season

@casperBGD this season I’ll favour Southampton and Leicester more because I believe that these two team’s can find their way back to the premier league. Also that’s a decent odd for Birmingham City but I’ll monitor their progress for a while before considering wagering big on them and lastly let’s see if Tom’s appointment has any positive impact on their performances as the season progresses ahead.

[Slow death]

finally the games are back, my prediction for tomorrow's game:

Sheffield Wednesday - Southampton

this is the opening game of the season and we will probably be facing the main candidate to win the league this season and return to play in the premier league next season, I'm talking about Southampton. but the problem as always is that when a team is relegated from the first division to the second division, it doesn't just lose money, reputation, but it also loses players and coach because the players don't want to play in the second division, it doesn't bring them much benefit , the players have a family and want to have a good future playing in a big team or in a team that is playing in the first division.

  for example at Southampton he lost the following players: Mohammed Salisu and Dujje Caleta-Car (defenders); Ibrahima Diallo and wingers Mohamed Elyounoussi (midfielders); Theo Walcott and Mislav Orsic and there are several other players who are in doubt whether they will stay in the team or not, I'm talking about players like Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco and Romeo Lavia. so I see Southampton coming into this game much weaker than they were in the premier league, the question will be if that will be enough to win this game and if they could be seen as candidates to win the league

on the other side we have Sheffield Wednesday who were promoted and made some signings, they brought players like: Di'Shon Bernard, Bambo Diaby, Pol Valentin, Juan Delgado and Ashley Fletcher. my prediction is that despite Southampton having a shortage of players and not being the same team that played in the premier league, they still have enough power to come out of this game with a victory, if I were to bet on this game I would choose Draw No Bet Southampton with odds of @1.65 seems safer to me

Can't believe I almost forgot about this one, with the game starting in a few hours! Feels weird not going to be able to watch (almost midnight in my temporary timezone and papa already feels a little sleepy heh heh.

Saints all the way, and not just because of past history -- they gave us good memories (and good players, haha).

I just check this all and now feeling good because after long wait again we are back and soccer mania is also going to start from England which is surely amazing for the all soccer fans now after few hours we are going to have first match between two competitive sides which will fight hard but it's first match and Sheffield Wednesday is playing at home even Saints are good team, but they have to face defeat in this match and then surely they will fight back for the rest of season because I have feeling about them surely they are going to join Premier League in 2024 but for this match I am going to support home side and most chances we will have winning score 2 - 1 in favor of them good luck to all those are going to do something in this match.

Southampton is starting tomorrow against Sheffield, should be an interesting season

Second half started but Southampton is holding good for now and they scored first goal in EFL Championship new season.
They totally dominated against Sheffield, they had more shots on goal, more attacks, more ball possessions but they received goal in second half.
I expect last 30 minutes to be very interesting and Southampton to score another goal, so live betting might be a good idea:

I tried to remind everyone about this match in different topics, but I saw you posted on time in Sportsbet competition topic


Rest of the matches in first round are played tomorrow and in Sunday and I have few more matches to talk about.
Expect to see another post from me sometime tomorrow.

8 cards! I actually considered putting 6 in for the prediction but thought they might all take it easy... couldn't have been more wrong! Adams, JWP seem to have carried on the job. Good omens for their push to regain promotion.

Notblox1 seems like this thread is showing increased interest. Hope you're enjoying that!

I was very close with my OP example in that topic, with exact minute of first goal scored and I had 7 total cards 
Great win for Southampton and start of new season but they could have done it much earlier, no need to wait for 87' minute but I hope someone took my suggestion for live betting.

Today matches of first round are finished with favorites Norwich, Blackburn and Watford all winning their matches at home.
I expected much different outcome between Watford and QPR, but it seems that home team is eager to return in Premier League next season.

Three more matches left for tomorrow and all of them are very interesting.
My bet is on Leicester and Leeds to win their matches but it is not going to be easy job for them.
You can find them all on Sportsbet website: https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Leicester - Coventry
Leeds - Cardiff
Sunderland - Ipswich
