Current odds to win Championship

from William Hill:
(after April 7 matches)

Sun­der­land: 11/8
Derby: 7/4
Birm­ing­ham: 21/10
Pre­ston: 80/1
West Brom: 100/1
Southamp­ton: 150/1
Wolver­hamp­ton: 200/1

QPR had a mas­sive week, with two wins now pulling the West Lon­don­ers 5 points clear of the drop zone. Leeds qui­eted their naysay­ers (for now), by mov­ing out of the rel­e­ga­tion posi­tions with a 2–1 vic­tory over Ply­mouth Sat­ur­day at Elland Road.

While Birm­ing­ham suf­fered a dev­as­tat­ing home loss to Burn­ley on Sat­ur­day, the Blues still have a valu­able game in hand over all clubs near the top of the table. Stoke is now a strong con­tender for a Play­off spot after defeat­ing West Brom at The Hawthorns 3–1.

The Pod­cast is still on course to com­mence in late June. It was a pleas­ant sur­prise to be con­tacted recently by the Trac­tor Boys of North Amer­ica (Ipswich sup­port­ers group).
