Well done Reading, I think Blackpool will win the playoffs again, wonder what price I would get on that. Got 5/1 last time and put the winnings on us (man utd) to win the league (we did) would love to see more Holloway interviews in the prem

No Leicester fans on here, but they spent a few quid and won´t get anything out of the season. I´m very happy that the Saints are 2 points away from going up. It´s a bit nervy, but thats the nature of the championship.
Congrats to Reading and purely from a number of points viewpoint, the Hammers should be favourites to go up in the playoffs if they do not sneak the final automatic place. The Hammers squad is mighty impressive, so not going up is surely not an option for the manager?

The interesting thing about the play-offs is that there is no team on a good run. There is often a team that puts a late run together and just sneaks in and then have the momentum. You could say that it was Reading, but they started their run to soon and just kept going!

I made a mistake in my last post and should have included Hull as still having a chance of the play-offs.

Form over the last 8 games

1 : Reading W-8, D-0, L-1 - already promoted
2 : Millwall W-5, D-1, L-2 - Blackpool final game (Away), although they are safe
3 : Southampton W-5, D-1, L-2 - probably get 2nd Auto spot
4 : Blackpool W-4, D-3, L-1
5 : Cardiff W-3, D-5, L-0
6 : West Ham W-3, D-4, L-1
7 : Birmingham W-3, D-4, L-1
..
17 : Middlesbrough W-1, D-5, L-2
..
19 : Hull W-2, D-1, L-5 - Need to win last 2 games and hope Us and Cardiff lose both our games and overcome a large GD, plus Middlebrough don't get more than 4pts.

Assuming Blackpool make the play-offs, I don't want to be facing West Ham as they have beat us twice this season, although they will be under immense pressure.

In a way the best result for the teams in the play-offs would be for Saints to blow it and fall into the play-off places. Would be interesting to see how they would recover after spending all season in an automatic spot, plus we have taken 4pts of them this season.

We're premier league, the number 1 club on the south coast!!

Congratulations to the promoted teams.

Hopefully it will be us next year, however that depends on Bates not selling our best players off without replacing them adequately

Congrats to Reading and Southampton! It's a very tough league to get out of but well done to those two, well deserved.

Play offs will be very close. Fingers crossed Cardiff can make it third time lucky and get promoted but it's going to be very tough.

I'm still drinking from the well of disappointment and faded dreams

Didn't see the West Ham v Cardiff game so cannot comment on that, apart from don't mention the 95/96 play-offs to Big Sam.

Our game was a good one with us winning 1 nil (10 play-off games won in a row now). I would have liked another goal and we had the chances, although they had their chances, especially when they hit the post in the last minute of the game. One thing for sure is that Birmingham will not be as defensive as they were at our ground, this should hopefully give us more space this time.

Although it was overshadowed really by the death of a fellow Seasider who collapsed on the row behind me during the first half and later died.

I see no-one has mentioned the Re-branding of Cardiff?? Any Bluebirds on here? Or Red-Dragons as they are soon to be called?

Opinions Guys?

OK Dev, I will put forward my opinion as a Swans fan
