Yes, this is it.

Mm, yes, this is it.

Not the top 20s, championship one to 24s for the season, 22, 23, sponsored by Betfair.

Another year with Betfair as our exclusive podcast partners.

We couldn't be happier at last season.

It was fantastic. Their support is fantastic

and it allows us to keep doing things in exactly the same way, but hopefully better than

ever. Monday pods. Yep, Thursday betting shows, absolutely, where we use the Betfair

sports book and the exchange to try and find value and try and pick some winners each

weekend in the EFL. If you're new here, welcome. Please settle in. If you've listened for six

years or anything in between, welcome back. It's good to have you. It's good to be back. I'm

Ali Maxwell. He's George Ehrlich. We're going to have a lot of fun this year covering the best

leagues in the world. George, in this episode, the championship in our sights, we love it, but the most unpredictable

league in the world, the league where anyone can beat anyone. Those are the cliches. And for a start,

it's consistently the league that we predict most accurately of the three. So it can't be

that unpredictable. And aside from that, the fact is, it's been chipped away at a little bit over

the last few years. Whole hunks of unpredictability have been hewn from its proud facade.

You're overriding thoughts as we sit here ahead of another championship season after what we saw last time out without giving away any spoilers.

Where do you think we're at overall?

I think in the last couple of seasons we've seen much more dominance from teams getting relegated from the Premier League, partly because during the pandemic, which I know we're still not out of yet.

A lot of key players would normally have moved on from those relegated sides were staying put.

I think that might have actually been a good thing for the league.
