You forgot the Bert icon.

Before Christmas the cup will be back in the PL and maybe even travel across Europe I predict.

[Kowalczyk]

You forgot the Bert icon.

Nope.

New club = club name in bold characters

New league or league division = Bert

1-1 draw, Forest keep the Helmond Cup.

Next up: a League Cup fixture. Cup ties are normally the moments when the Helmond Cup can go up or down to a higher/lower division, but not this time: Millwall are in the Championship, just like Forest.

Forest lost it. The Helmond Cup is now in the hands of 'The Latics': Wigan Athletic.

Which means that a move to another country is suddenly close. As you may or may not know, Wigan play in Europe. They're in the Europa League. On 19 September they play an away fixture at Zulte Waregem, in Belgium.

Helmond Cup to Belgium...?

Wigan will have to survive Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday first. But it's possible. No matter how deep the Helmond Cup has fallen into lower league divisions... a way out is always closer than you think.

Well, I'm glad that dark chapter of the Helmond Cup is closed.

[Kowalczyk]

Time for an update (although I only miseed one match...).

Wigan won it, but lost it again, immediately. To Leicester City.

Rovers! My 'other' club (for family, not football, reasons), although I haven't followed them much since the Venky's mess.

[elliquido]

Last year in blackburn.... " whats the best place to go in blackburn?"
Reply, " there is no best place"

Wigan .. King street... Thats the place

[Tom_]

How rude! How many times have Wigan won the Premier League? ;)

Clearly what will happen next is that Rovers will trounce Leicester, then continue their unbeaten run until the end of the season, thus gaining promotion and returning the Helmond Cup to the top level. That way Ajax can take it off some crap English team, e.g. City or Chelsea, in next season's CL. You heard it here first.

Where's the "Like" button on this thing?

[Kowalczyk]

Leicester won their first game as the new Helmond Cup holders... and go top of the league (although QPR have a game in hand).

Next up: Blackpool vs Leicester (SE6 Ajacied, do you copy!?). Top fixture between two teams that share the #1 position in the Championship.

This weekend's top fixture in the Championship, Blackpool v Leicester, ended in a draw: 2-2. QPR are now tops (20 points), Leicester and Blackpool follow at #3 and #4 with 27 points each.

Next fixture for Leicester is a League Cup game. The Helmond Cup can not go up or down, as Derby County are in the Championship, too.

Alright people. I just took a decision.

I won't be updating this thread anymore.

I loved the Helmond Cup thing for many years, but I've lost interest. Feel free to keep updating this thread (I'll read), but I won't do it anymore.

See you in other threads!

As long as it is buried in the second division of English football it's not very interesting. You can all bookmark this: http://www.helmondcup.com/ as they do keep it up to date and also have all the historical results.
