Quite funny how some of us predicted Wolves to finish 1st this season... Some shocking team spirit in that squad, quite like QPR's season.
Got my Brighton vs Palace play-off ticket, providing we stay up I hope Brighton come up for selfish reasons as they're my local team. There's always a sting in the tail in the play-offs though and because of Leicester's last minute winner I wouldn't be surprised if it were them to do it. Hoping for a Brighton vs Watford final though.

Wolves have some decent players that I'd imagine a few championship teams are sniffing around. The likes of Sako, Ebanks-Blake, Doyle would be good additions to most championship teams.

I thought Wolves would win the league.  If we don't get through on Sunday then I'll be rooting for Brighton as well, had a soft spot for them since our last promotion to the Premier League. |

Great to see Newport promoted into the league. Shame for Wrexham, since they were so close last season but I'm sure they'll go up next year.
Couldn't have asked for a better season for Welsh football. Swansea winning the cup, Cardiff being promoted, Bale getting player of the year, Wrexham winning the FA cup trophy and now Newport going up.

Would be pleased to see Brighton go up, but I doubt they'll make it. Reckon they'll lose in the final to Watford. Got a ticket for the Palace home game, though, so should be a good atmosphere.
Amazing play-off between Brentford and Swindon today. What the Play-Offs are all about. Amazing goal in that Cheltenham v Northampton game last night, as well!

I would contribute in that thread Wasn't that long ago I'd tune in to S4C to watch the Welsh League highlights on a Saturday evening  |

I thought I'd post this here, Stevenage held a tribute match for our former player Mitchell Cole last night and alot of our former players who played with him came back and afew BPL players played too. The final score was 7-4 to Cole's XI but the highlight of the evening was when our former keeper Ashley Bayes decided to come into the crowd after being subbed off and played the drum shortly followed by our manager Graham Westley and assistant Dino. Here's a vid if anyone wants to see it.

The ending to Watford vs Leicester was mental.

Similar to Brentford/Donny a few weeks back. Justice was done with the miss as it was a bit of a dive.

One of the best endings to a football match I've ever seen.

Exactly what the play-offs are all about  Delighted as well, because Leicester are the only team I didn't want promoted. First ones out. |

Can't believe he missed the follow-up from the pen. Two great saves by Almunia.

Fantastic by Watford. They've been the standout team this year imo (not taking away Cardiff & Hull's impressive seasons), so i'm glad they are 1 game away from the Premier League. What a 12 months it's been for Troy Deeney too, this time last year he was in prison.
Wonder if Knockeart will receive the Kermorgant treatment now.

  Decent game. Brighton just choked it in the end, which is disappointing for them, but oh well. Palace were the better side. |

The two sides I'd prefer to go up in the final. Going to be hard in the PL for Watford without all their loaned players or and hard for Palace without Zaha.

Kermorgant did  all for Leicester City prior to his penalty. Anthony has been fantastic all year, he's our young player of the year, scored our best goal all season and a 90th minute winner that got us our first win at the City Ground for an eternity to get us into the Play-Offs in the first place. So I doubt it. Shame Brighton have gone, now either Ian Holloway or a thug like Troy Deeney is going to be in the Premier League. |
