tht blocking is hilarious hehe anyway i cant remember if i alreadyt posted inhere...but HALIFAX TOWN FOR EVER!!! xxx

Halifax's first match is against Oxford. Should be a good game!

Car Expert

Here's the verdict we've all been waiting for!

And onto a different matter, I hope Reading beat Didcot Town tonight!

Car Expert

Well it's not quite as drastic as was first expected....not quite.

9-1! Yes!!!

Car Expert

Well, if we're still on the topic this thread was created for, my fave team is Middlesbrough.

David O'Leary has left Aston Villa!

I think Villa will get relegated next season...

Car Expert

Logic would say that Aston Villa will struggle this season, but the World Cup has shown us that sometimes teams can rise above adversity and actually end up doing rather well (think of Italy)......

Mick McCarthy is the new Wolves manager! Can't wait for November 25th!

Car Expert

I dont support football, but if I do then it's portmouth

Argyle v Real Madrid tonight!

Should be a good game! What time is it?

Car Expert

10 minutes time!

In the end, Plymouth lost 1-0 all because of a penalty...

Car Expert

Newcastle have won the Inter-Toto Cup and will now take part in the EUFA Cup next year!!!

Reading beat Northampton Town! Still can't be beaten!

What a game this must have been: Inverurie Loco Works 3-9 St Johnstone

Car Expert

Yeah I'm a bit and but the experience must have just been so good for the players even if we had lost heavily.

Yep, nearly the start of the football season again!

I hope Charlton win something this season (more hope than expectation, but you get used to that as a Charlton fan! ).

I think we'll do OK this season. Can't see beyond Chelsea for the title, but Arsenal I think will do better, and I think will run Chelsea very close.

It's possible all 3 promoted teams will stay up - they all look decent outfits. I think Sheffield United may struggle though, and also Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and I think maybe even Everton will struggle.

Up from the Championship - I'd say keep an eye on Leeds, Crystal Palace, and if you want a Watford-style 'surprise package' - it may be worth watching Plymouth Argyle.......

That's what I like to hear! I can't see us going up this year but top half of the table would be very nice.

....no-one gave Watford the time of day before last season. Usually there's a surprise team in the Championship, and I think Holloway may be the deciding factor.....

We'll have to buy a few defenders first.

My predictions for those teams that will go up to the Premiership: I think Leeds should do it, and I have a feeling Preston and Wolves could also join them. As for relegation from the Premiership, I'll say Watford, Aston Villa and Sheffield United will go down.

I'm going to try out my luck and say that Leyton Orient will follow Southend into the Championship.

Car Expert

GO BORO, ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

'Sorry'

Looks like Leicester are about to lose their first game...

Car Expert

Hahaha, you can't beat grassroots football!

Has the seaosn started yet? I don't really keep up with the times.

The Football League & Scottish League has started today. The SPL started last weekend. The first Premiership games are in a fortnight and the first Conference games are next weekend.

Shame Leyton Orient are currently losing (against Port Vale).

Indeed! Check the BBC Sport videprinter if you don't believe me.

Car Expert

Well, the reading fans will be happy.

And I'm one of them!

Car Expert

Is reading a branch off from a huge town, like Chelsea or Arsenal, or is it actually a town.

Reading is a town near Maidenhead; west of the M25.

Car Expert

Why is it called Reading?

Because it is...

Car Expert

Finally, something CE doesn't know!

Results update

• In the Championship, Derby managed to rescue a point against Southampton (2-2) and Sunderland lost 2-1 to Coventry

Car Expert

How come you always know about everything?

I look the information up

Reading v Middlesbrough, looks like there might be a win on the cards in Reading's favour!

Car Expert

No, Reading don't stand a chance against Boro, come on BORO!
What chahnnel is it on and when?
