A post by West Ham on Twitter showing highlights of a Championship victory against Hull has got a lot of the fanbase talking about both the division and Carlton Cole.
Two goals from Cole, who is a former Premier League winner with Chelsea, per Transfermarkt, secured the victory for the Hammers and meant that they qualified for the playoffs, via BBC Sport.

Under Sam Allardyce they would eventually go on to win the playoffs at Wembley, beating Blackpool 2-1 thanks to a last minute winner from Ricardo Vaz Te, via BBC Sport.
The club have not looked back since but are struggling to stay in England’s top flight this term as they are only two points away from Aston Villa in 19th, via Sofascore.
Cole enjoyed a great career in East London, playing 297 games for the side across nine seasons, scoring 67 goals and also providing 33 assists, via Transfermarkt.
The highlights has also got fans hoping they will never have to go through the stress of the Championship again, as one fan said: “Oh god, I remember how awful the Championship was. Please not again.”
Here is what they had to say following the tweet:

Two great finishes. Looks like Vaz Te is the first (and possibly only) to run over to celebrate.

the Championship would be bad for us I love it a great league but grueling we couldn’t handle IMO & I’d worry we do a Sunderland.
Staying up is best for all fans IMO.
