Blackpool do at least espouse the old-fashioned idea of attacking football. They concede many goals as a result of this, but you will find that they have also scored more than most of the teams in the last 10 places in the Premiership. Their 4-3 win over Bolton was very exiting to watch and they have done the "double" over Liverpool this season...no-one in their wildest dreams would have ever thought that possible. Their manager and his opinions have been like a breath of fresh air this season.
In reply to your last comment, Blackpool will have to achieve a most remarkable result away to Manchester United (who have a formidable home record this season) if they have a chance to survive. But they are on level points with Birmingham City with not much difference in goal difference.
The relegation issue may well be solved by the side being beaten by the biggest score in the final match of the season.
I actually support Oldham Athletic for my sins. The way that they have led the downward charge in the final part of the season from being a play-off contender at Christmas has been depressing. I feel like asking our local Trading Standards if I can sue them for having the word "Athletic" in their name, because recent performances appear to have that word as contravening the Trade Descripion Act.

We will see you there!
Congratulations on your great win last night. As soemone who is from Swansea and lived in Reading, it will be muc easier for me to bear if Swansea lose in the final compared to losing to Cardiff!
Whatever happens, I hope it is an exciting game and a good avert for Chamionship football!

Tonight's game was a brilliant one though although the shoot-out was anti-climatic although penalties are always fun when it's not your team taking part!
Yeah should be fantastic, I'm a bit worried Swansea will tear us apart with Sinclair but then again we should have Kebe back.
Whatever happens it'll be a great game, I would have taken this any day 3 months ago when we were sitting 12th!!

So is everyone loving Brian now? I heard he was getting a bit of a rough time a while back.

Glad Stephen Dobbie (former Hibernian player) seems to be doing well down south, after being wrongly released IMO, it was unlucky that he was not part of the team that featured the 'golden generation' of home-grown youngsters, which Hibs promptly sold for millions and replaced with sh@te. 13 goals in 56 games this season isn't too bad for someone who was once playing in the third division in scotland - bearin g in mind the english championship is probably equivalent or better than the SPL.
Any swannys around? Whats the general opinion of him as a player?

Accrington Stanley will have to play far better in the home leg if they are to overcome the two goal defecit suffered in the first leg.

The Premiership's excesses are a pain but there's no denying it's an exciting relegation battle this year. Don't really want to see Blackpool or Wigan go down but if it has to be them or the us...
Up the Wolves!

Come on Wimbo! Show the cheats - and, next season, the other cheats down at Crawley! - who's boss!
Interesting fact for you: Although only West Brom (my mistake previously
) have held MU at home, the Red Devils have only hit more than 3 at OT twice in the PL, both against clubs who are playing for their PL skins on Sunday (5-0 against Brum; 7-1 against Blackburn). On the other hand, mid-table Newcastle have done it five times: 4-4 against Arsenal, 6-0 against Villa, 5-1 against Sunderland, 5-0 against West Ham and 4-1 against Wolves.As for West Ham, enjoy the Championship! And don't come back!

Certainly will enjoy it, and don't really care if we never get back into the PL (although the law of averages suggests it'll happen within a few years).As for West Ham, enjoy the Championship! And don't come back!
This is the fifth relegation I've been through, and every time it's been fun down there and every time (except one) it's been a great opportunity to rebuild.
The important thing now is to get the right manager, and for what it;s worth, I think that should be Tony Carr.

Bring it on!
I'm sure we will be back, even better and even stronger.

All we need now is for MK, having already fluffed the play-offs, to get relegated and for Wimbo to go up again!

Congratulations to AFC Wimbledon. Not really a fan of theirs but will be a good addition to the League I think

I'd rather they play in the FA Cup (as almost happened a few months ago). And for Wimbo to thrash MK and go on to play in a higher division in the following season after another promotion!

Nope, I want Wimbo and MK where they belong (high up and nowhere respectively!).

I get the feeling if they did meet it would mean a lot more to AFC fans than MK !!

The AFC chairman said he never wants to play them, as it would give MK a kind of validation.
All he wants is AFC to prosper, and MK to die.
