A video of said fracas, albeit a little poor quality.

One of the most entertaining things I've seen in a while.

Valuable win for Birmingham last night!

Looking at this weekends fixtures, i think Wolves v Birmingham on sunday is huge!! Especially if Wolves lose and Stoke win, as Stoke will replace them in the play offs!

Very hard to call, but i think the last play off place could come down to those 2 teams.

I didn't think they would either, but Colchester 3-1 Sunderland! Seems a very hard place to go Colchester and they have to be up there as one of the suprises of the season.

Brings Derby and Birmingham back into things! Plus with Preston losing, Southampton still have a chance.

We like to give everyone a chance!

To be honest it wasn't an unexpected result at Colchester, just hope Mick McCarthy can do us a favour tomorrow

[D-Angle]

It's shaping up to be an interesting end to the season. Any one of the top 9 can make the play-offs, ansd the teams in the 4th-6th positions are far from safe.

Any of them who don't win next week will be out of the running I think.

[ray_von]

Well thats it we're up thanks to Palace

[zoe22]

Well done to Sunderland and Birmingham (with special mention to Palace of course )

Chances of the Blues doing us a favour next week?

YES !

We traditionally roll-over when there's nothing to play for ! we are masters at it
eternally 2nd place merchants!

in fact i might go down the bookies for this.......

who gives a fig about a tin trophy ? Premier League......we are BACK!

[kennyf430]

I knew weed bugger it up (Derby), looks like Championship next season, I cant see us winning the playoffs .......

[wolves_wanderer]

With my Wolves hat on I'm glad that Sunderland got up automatically as they were the best team we played all season. 3 points against an already safe Leicester and we are in. Fingers crossed.

I second that about Sunderland......first half against us they were unbelievable!

Second half saw us step up those gears that have got us promotion ......typical resolute display with attacking menace from all areas of the team......we always played better against the higher teams in the division

last game of the season ,Wednesday were the better team....but put us under more pressure though (Muamba gets sent off) and bang -bang , where the hell did those goals come from? Typical Blues .....take it easy - lose ......get wound up - win

In fact i think we lost games against all 5 of the bottom teams this year but won against all the top ones

I hope this bodes well......for if there is a battle to be won.....we have the determination.

A lot of people on a football forum I visit keep asking when the various play-off matches are, so I have made a desktop wallpaper with all the essential information on it for whoever wants to keep it to hand. As far as I know the kick-off time of the final has not been decided yet.

It isn't often these days that clubs in our division have massive matches to play so you've got to enjoy the ride.

Take it from someone whose team has been here again and again and again...etc
