The Championship Season Starts Here!
Welcome to the new season, gents! The Championship got off to a flying start yesterday with a thrilling 3-3 draw between promotion favorites Middlesboro and new boys Luton Town. Today's action gets started at 10am EST with a full slate of matches, including Barnsley v. Fulham on the Plus. I'll be in and out today getting ready for the visit of the Gooner later on this evening. But join me if you're watching today.

I've had a power morning of errands, so I'm just settling in to enjoy the Barnsley v. Fulham match on the Plus now.
This is the first look at newly-relegated Fulham, who were tragic in the Premiership last season and who haven't done a lot of business over the summer, apart from settling the contracts of Cairney and Mitrovic.
Barnsley on the other hand have been doing loads of wheeling and dealing over the summer. They're a new look side.
First goal in the Championship this afternoon goes to Hull City who are away to another recently relegated side, Swansea.
Scottie Parker looks a bit like a mannequin from Top Shop.
Good morning , Bob. Back from taking Elizabeth to market days and running a few errands myself.
