When was the last time the sixth place team went up though - doesn't happen often does it? Not for the first time I wish they'd stuck at least a bit longer with the old system where the play-offs were contested between three teams in the second tier and one in the top flight with the latter getting relegated unless they won the play-offs, even if it meant some seasons that only two teams would get promoted.
Well we would have not had special days in 99 or 2006 though potentially. Think Palace came 6th in 2004 and went up but probably happened since .
And then he hasn't booked Campbell for a cynical foul. Refereeing standards are slipping at an alarming rate. Come on you Terriers!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahhahahaahahah... continued page 94.
Bloody modern football, the pitch invasion is like a scene from the walking dead with everyone trying strip the players of their shirts.
***** fans in violence?! Now there's a surprise! Just wait until they dismantle the Vic. 15,000 Baz hard hats and David Cobbold Knebworth House armour required! Can someone explain why we didn't sign Thomas? He was at B Wood wasn't he? Best scouting network in the world? Just hapless in Hertfordshire!
Just two, while the First Division was reduced from 22 down to 20 clubs. We were in the first edition of the play-offs as they are now. (1989)
Before being brought back up to 22 only three years later, and then down to 20 again four years after that - strange.
I think we went out on away goals 0-0 away 1-1 at home. I think it was the last season the away goals rules were used for the playoffs.
Notwithstanding the fact that we'd still be ****ed, they have that system in Germany, where the better resourced Bundesliga team almost always win the play-offs, imagine that but with Premier League money
L*ton are very coy about their contracts, but apparently they have a lot of players out of contract this summer...could be a low-key struggler next season?
A few missiles apparently. Was listening on Talksport so they might have over hyped the situation a bit though Yes - would have played Palace in the final so probably for the best that we went out then!
The hand eating gnome just said the HT fans were making obscene gestures to the knuckle draggers. "Weshoudawon, weshoudawon, weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon weshoudawon...."
