Looking forward to this season, with the quality we have bought in we SHOULD be challenging for automatic all season long...but I know how things go a Leicester so I am going to reserve a little skepticism.

If you don't go up something is seriously wrong. Will everyone hang about if not, Investors and such?

Good luck, Not that I think you will need it.

It's a tough old league but I predict that we (West Ham Utd) will be going straight back up. We've made some good signings, looks like we are keeping Parker and hopefully we'll be adding another striker. First up, Cardiff!

I agree, Hardest league for a good 4/5 years.

I can see probably 10 teams that are in with a shout. Bring it on!

I'll take a 1-0 away win first game of the season.

Bit slow to get going and still suspect at the back against pace.

Great volley though, nice to see Hull getting boo'd off after Tue first game of the season, some fans are so fickle!

[Allblackdup]

Great goal - but such a tight game which is definitely going to be a feature this season.

Hull have definitely improved over last season and Blackpool will be challenging - going to be such an exciting season in the championship as well!

[NoVetec]

The goal was brilliant.

Cannot wait until later today!

Blackpool kept a clean sheet, that didn't happen too often last season.

That's the difference between strikers in the championship and prem league. We got away with dodgy defending in our promotion season, last year we did not. I'm sure we'll get away with it a lot again this year.

Bin Dippers had someone sent off already

Right off to the City Ground!

[Jw Vw]

I have a sneaky feeling Mackail-Smith will bang in the goals for Brighton this season and that they could grab a play-off spot.

[ZR1cliff]

As a Millwall supporter I'd just like to say this has been a half decent weekend.

Oh and well done Cardiff

[Allblackdup]

Good start to the season, never though I'd see Cardiff get 3 points at Upton Park following all the changes and the quality in the West Ham side, but a great start none the less!

In a word mate. No. We will do well to come above your lot!

I've done Forest for the title at 14/1

[Puggit]

As a Watford fan, I have to be happy with a draw at Burnley - however have to be seriously concerned about the stat that last season we threw away the most leading positions, only to throw away a 0-2 lead again

[Dracoro]

Good start for the Seagulls! I can't wait to see my first game at the Amex next sat against Blackpool.

Southampton too doing well, Portsmouth not so

Leicester should do well, West Ham's season could be "interesting" I think.... There's a lot of expectation surrounding them.
