    As we are not exactly spoilt for choice of games to watch this afternoon (evening for me & China) I though I might as well start up a Championship Race thread as the season draws to it's conclusion.

    I think nine teams have a realistic chance of finishing in the top 6 and there are some interesting games today.

    Bolton v Preston
    Cardiff v Ipswich
    Fulham v Bristol City
    Huddersfield v Burnley
    Hull v MK Dons
    Nottingham For v Sheffield Wed
    QPR v Brentford
    Rotherham v Derby

    Cardiff score as I write this.......
    Burnley in the lead, maybe to extend their lead at the top
    Derby could trip up at resurgent Rotherham
    "Out of reach" Forest could dent the Owls ambitions
    Bolton at the wrong end but 1 up

    Still a fair way to go, but with Burnley having held on to Sean Dyche and with Gray scoring for fun, my money would be on them to win it!!!!

    'Boro's manager (Kranka?) has walked out saying he doesn't want to manage them!

    oh wow.

    Decent, although not the most progressive manager I think, and could certainly do better than the Smoggies

    I heard that....So strange. They looked nailed on to win the Championship. Looked certain it would be Boro first and Derby 2nd. As it should be from the size of clubs and money constantly spent. Can't believe they are both throwing it away again!

    What about McClaren back to Boro?

    Edit: Not a rumor I heard or anything, but popped into my mind when I saw the Boro boss was imploding.
