Why is the prem title more important than champions league qualification but the

championship title not more important than which "bang average" team (as all the contenders are) manages to scrape into 6th place?

I do accept there will probably be more desperation about Derby. Boro and Bristol given that it gives them a lifeline for promotion but I think its devaluing the championship title.

As I've said above though I am sure in the past Sky have shown two games live on different channels so the obvious games for them to show would be Derby v WBA and Villa v Us.
