Playoffs - the last team

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Who is going to join us next season apart from Norwich. After last night's result from Swansea, it still appears to be a 3 horse race. Derby have a toughie at home to Albion, Bristol City are away to Hull and Boro play Rovrum.

Still hopeful that we won't be joined by Lampshade.

UTB - go stuff Stoke.

 

[LJBlade]

Middlesbrough

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I'll be cheering for Middlesboro to win the lot.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Who cares !

Nowt to do with us

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Wednesday

 

[BigBed]

Boro

 

[Roygbiv]

Whoever gets in 6th should get hammered by Leeds. I know play offs don't work like that but they are a million times better than Derby or Boro

Me too, I think Leeds will be joining us next year after a Villa final. Glad it's not us going through it, that's all.

 

[Boxer Blade]

None of the three seem to have deserved it from the point of view of being in the top six most of the season, a bit like leeds have been top three all season and will feel they should go up,like if it was us had finished third I would feel hard done by,none of them stand out really,have good friends who are Derby fans so because of that, Bristol City. (better chance of finishing higher than them)

 

[Fulwood Blade]

(better chance of finishing higher than them)

100% my reasoning.

Next season is not going to be a walk in the park as some are thinking.

UTB

 

[DifferentClass]

Just hoping for Villa to win the lot.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Think it’ll be Derby. Bristol City should win at Hull. I reckon Rotherham might grab a point. Derby in on goal difference with a draw with WBA. Villa to win them.

Leeds might finish 4th

 

[Booker4]

Villa should win it with their quality but I want Derby or West Brom as there the crappest sides left and we want the weakest side to come up for obvious reasons.

You think Boro are better than Derby or West Brom?

Not so sure about that. Leeds United are one dimensional and can only play one way (high tempo front foot football but they lack physicality, leaders and a potent goal scorer).

If a manager sets up to negate them, then they don’t have a plan B.
Pulis could set up Boro to park the bus, then get them on the break.
Derby are inconsistent, at the best are capable of matching Leeds but they can be poor too where anyone can beat them.

Villa and Leeds are the best teams but the play-offs are all about bottle, so probably Villa.
In a way I want Leeds to win, due to finishing 3rd and deserving promotion but I think back to their horrible arrogant fans over the years, so if they fail, part of me just wants to laugh.

 

[Blade for Sale]

There is something irresistable about a side winning promotion following a recovery from the calamatous stewardship of a man our dear neighbours are convinced will lead them to the promised land next season. That said, I hope Brizzle make it.

 

[S40BLADE]

Villa will storm them like Preston in league one a few years ago.

 

[KoppedOff]

After the aggro on Sunday, it just seems written in the stars to be a Leeds/Villa final.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I'd like the weakest team to somehow power their way through.
Definitely would prefer Villa and Leeds to stay down.

 

[Booker4]

You think Boro are better than Derby or West Brom?

I excluded them currently because Boro aren't currently in the play-offs. If Boro makes it in the top 6 instead of Derby then Boro or West Brom would be preferable over Leeds or Villa.

 

[bromtom]

I've been thinking about it and West Brom are the ones I don't like the least so I hope they do it.

Leeds - are Leeds
Villa - up their own arse, and it'd be interesting to see how they cope next season with FFP
West Brom - no issues.
FLDC - Lampard has been shit, don't want him getting any praise

If Villa beat Norwich for us and we get the Championship I will start supporting them haha

And if Derby are throwing 6th away, I'd prefer Brizzle had a go. Boro could Pulis their way to a final against a misfiring Leeds too.

Tell you what though, isn't it nice to be watching it unfold having already done our job?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I feel sorry for the 2 sides that get to Wembley. The pig fans have booked up every hotel room in London.

 

[Stretch]

Based on the fixtures I fancy Brizzle to finish 6th and I can't see Leeds being sufficiently re-energised to beat them.

West Brom to bastard their way past Villa and win the final.

 

[Jan Age]

Hate Bristol
Would be a crime against football for Borough to get it
So Derby for me in 6th - then to win it outright

Leeds are shot
West Brom lack any identity

Villa v Derby final - Derby will play wank and win 1-0

(better chance of finishing higher than them)

I'm just glad we can relax and have just over 3 extra weeks preparation (drinking) time. I think we'd have struggled to sell out for the final as - missing out after we've been in the top 3 since January 1st - would have been a massive downer.

Not wasting £200 on a day out at Wembley? Priceless.

Villa v Derby final - Derby will play wank and win 1-0

And Frank Lampard knighted in the New Years Honours List.

 

[sufcboy95]

West Brom. Been shit for months, had nothing to play for months. But quality will finally show in play offs

 

[bromtom]

Frank needs to fail somewhere. If he got any praise at all it'd be a crime.

Taken a team that finished in the playoffs last season, got some real quality in, and are crawling on their hands and knees to try and get 6th.

 

[Speedracer]

From a SUFC point of view then Boro as they are the weakest, especially if they keep Pullis, but as they aren't currently occupying a play off position then WBA, again I can't see them being stronger than us next season. I do kinda feel like Leeds deserve it as they have actually helped us through our season long battle with them, but it is Leeds & can I wish them anything other than pain? Probably will be Villa after beating Leeds in the final.

 

[SB_90]

6th as few have said is lile cannon fodder because 6th is like the top 4 in premier league nobody wants it. the teams in contention or were in contention playing terribly.

i still think like a few weeks. leeds v aston villa play off final
