The Championship ups and downs (season 2011/2012)

Who will win the league? Who will go up?

After the 12th November, it's clear that 1 team is high flying with points to spare. Southampton are doing so well we have a 5 point cushion. West Ham are next following the pack of play off teams.

As a Saints supporter, all I want is us to stay up there and the rest will fear our goals. The premiership is 30 games away. Here is the table as it stands:

1. 1. Southampton - 36 pts (GD 20)
2. 2. West Ham - 31 pts (GD 15)
3. 3. Middlesbrough - 30 pts (GD 8)
4. 4. Cardiff - 27 pts (GD 9)
5. 5. Blackpool - 25 pts (GD 7)

Anything could happend in this league. There are still 30 games left. I say 90 points are required to win the championship and 86 for 2nd place.
