Football

[Quizzical Bob]

Good luck everybody and don't forget to enjoy the day. These last games are what makes the English leagues so exciting. Saints are at White Hart Lane today so I expect we shall be relying on others to make us numerically safe.

[barney]

Beat of luck to all of your teams today

What a huge day

Particularly Watford

[barney]

Well, skin of your teeth, wasn't it?

Congrats to Hull.

What an entertaining afternoon for the neutral

[towny44]

Phew, That was a roller coaster ride but eventually both Huddersfield and Barnsley are safe, unless the football league decide to take action for both teams settling for a draw with 5 minutes to go.
Well done Foxy your lot eventually made the play offs, along with Paul's Eagles. Sorry for any Wolves and Posh fans we have, but I am more than happy that the Yorkshire teams stayed up.

[Dark Knight]

not a bad finish for the Rams
well done Hull and Cardiff
now for the real test of nerves, the play offs

[Manoverboard]

Well done Hull and no beef about us Hornets not making the second auto spot but the ' Dirty Leeds ' tag was well earned once again today when a deliberate late push resulted in a serious neck injury to our replacement young goalie. Fingers crossed that his career is not ended by the thug who was only yellow carded for his calous actions ... sleep well Mr Poleon

See you in the play-offs Foxy my friend, what a turn up and a day of drama for many of us on this Topic

[Romig1]

A very happh bunny here. Well done to Leicester too... they were the best side I saw all season at Hudds

[oldbluefox]

I had every confidence we would make the playoffs!!

What an afternoon of drama that was, and a great advert for non Prem football. Our result at Forest is one of the best since Roy of the Rovers won the European Cup single handed. We literally came back from the dead and settled it in the last few minutes. It sounded an absolutely incredible match and all credit to both sides. Can't wait to see it on The Football League Show tonight.

Pleased to see The Terriers managed to make it for towny and Romig and well done to Mob's lads and the Eagles even though Hull managed to get the result they needed. Anything can happen now in the playoffs, and to be honest there's not a lot between them so it should be exciting. Whatever happens it's going to be a fitting end to a remarkable season.

[Romig1]

Amen to that Brother Foxy.

[paultheeagle]

Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...what a day....Watford blew it and Leicester sneaked in through the back door...I think we are all happy ain't we.

It was a terrific game at the Palace...I am glad we won but although us Palace fans were pleased with the result I can't help but have a little sympathy with The Posh...They are a super team and have been relegated with 54 points....that has got to be a record.

Bizarrely had Palace and Peterborough drawn, then because of results else where, Palace would have still qualified for the play-offs and Peterborough would have stayed up....We would also have qualified had we lost but you don't know that when you are playing do you.....A tiny little bit of me is now a Peterborough fan.

Good luck to 'Ull next season, they are going to need it.

ObF.....See you at Wembley.

[Manoverboard]

ObF.....See you at Wembley.

Now that's what I call supporting a mate

There'll be Foxy cos we aint got any goalies and then there'll be ....... Brighton

Twists n turns and still totally unpredictable even at this stage

[Romig1]

Paul. Personally I am happy tat Posh were relegated. After they beat us in the playoff final two years ago their chairman was noe too complimentary aout our team and was quite rude. So there.

[Romig1]

...although I do fel sorry for their fans. Their form over the last ten or so games has been fantastic and it would have been a great escape for them had they suvived.

Not many bored people at the KC Stadium yesterday.

Comment of the day from FIL who was there with 2 x BIL's and who sadly has dementia.... when asked if he'd enjoyed it, replied....."it was ok"!

Impossible to call in reality, it all depends on how much the players themselves want it.

Some will see it as a threat to their livelihood given that they will be booted out or sidelined because they are not quite good enough to play at the higher level. The teams with the most number of players who have the most to gain will therefore gain promotion.

For me Hull will be in the playoffs but will not be promoted.

Close Moby, veeeery close, but no cigar.

[HK phooey]

Congratulations Admiral. It was a very exciting day yesterday watching the Skysports live league table

[Admiral of the Humber]

Dear HK,

Football is not my game but it was impossible not to get caught up in the excitement in Hull yesterday. As a proud Hullensian I am glad that Hull City will be up there with the big boys next year.

The result for me was the night before at the KC when Hull FC stuck 48 past London in the Superleague.

Just want Hull KR to lose this afternoon to put the icing on the cake.

I just knew you would remind me of that posting ...

By the way I am a non smoker but who knows we could still be with you in the Prem next season

[paultheeagle]

Just sat and watched the Division one play-0ffs...two terrific games, especiallly the Brentford V Swindon match.....Good old Brentford are at Wembley, it would be good to have them in the Championship next season....Yeovil are at Wembley as well....It should be a cracker.

[gfwgfw]

Mr Bale spoilt his former clubs day with a fantastic goal, surprisingly he did little else in the match

IMO Southampton were the better team

[paultheeagle]

Championship play-offs start tomorrow, can't wait.......But who will win them this year...

This is a brilliant article.

Good luck everyone.

[Manoverboard]

Eh, Hello !!!!

They surely start tonight at 19:45 betweem Moi et Foxy ?

ps ... one's goalie for the Zolacoasters is, as yet, unknown.

Oh yeah....Forgot about them two...live on Sky ....Not much else on.

[Manoverboard]

1:0 to Foxy at half time ... roll on Sunday at Vicarage Road

[paultheeagle]

Leicester have the lead but there is a lot of football still to be played...Watford will be slighlty pleased with a 1-0 defeat because it should have been more....A one goal lead might not be enough.....

Having said that the team that sneaks into the play-off when all think they won't make it is often dangerous...Watford had their chance to go up on Saturday and blew it, Sunday is Leicester's chance to be just 90 minutes away from Wembley, the Premier League and all that money.

A much better game takes place at a sell out Selhurst Park tonight with Palace vs the Seaweed...also live on Sky don't miss it.
