Champions League or Championship?

Further to my previous post, last nights instalment of championship football saw some surprising results:

Barnsley v Burnley 2,0
Blackpool v Doncaster 2,1
Crystal Palace v Bristol City 1,0
Ipswich v Portsmouth 1,0
Leeds v Coventry 1,1
Millwall v Brighton 1,1
Nott'm For v Middlesbro 2,0
Peterboro v Cardiff 4,3
Reading v Derby 2,2
Southampton v West Ham 1,0

With a good performance from Southampton, managing another home win against West Ham, that now gives them 26 points, 5 clear from the rest of the table.
West Ham still hold on to second place, with 21 points, the same as Middlesbro and Derby, who both drew away from home. Just one point behind closely follows Crystal Palace and Ipswich, who both won there matches at home.
The bottom three places are taken up with Bristol City who are bottom with 6 points and above them is Doncaster on 8 points and Millwall on 9 points, all 3 teams lost last night.
Tonight Leicester play Watford at 7.45pm, my prediction is a 2,0 home win to Leicester.

Oh I forgot to mention about the Champions league, with both Man Utd playing away to O Galati and Man City playing at home to Villarreal.
For me Man Utd showed us what they can do with there experience in this competition winning 2,0 and Rooney scoring with 2 penalty's.
Man City however, were very hesitant in everything they did, they almost seemed unsure in what to do, struggling to get the ball up front. However they managed to get the result winning 2,1 with Aguero scoring the winner in the last minutes.

It was a shame that none of the championship games were shown as from the live reports on Sky tv they certainly were the most exciting!
