The Championship final 5 games thread

[bmthnick1981]

Was in my local pub in Bournemouth last night, really great atmosphere, what a result! Can't wait for next season!

Shame they've only been offered 4,000 away tickets for the last match of the season

Great news that we have a new name in the Premiership. As a Saints fan, it can only be good to have a local team in the same league as us. The team is obviously playing great football and I hope that they play well again next season (apart from vs the Saints)

First time I've seen Bournemouth play and I have to say they're very pleasing on the eye, some great skill, movement, passing and finishing on display and they really work hard, cracking team. It will be interesting to see how they adpt to the PL and whether they can continue to play that style. Well done and good luck.

And now Rotherham's time... drop Millwall and Wigan.

"Pretty passing in search of the perfect goal" is how it was described on Radio 5 recently

I was there last night and after 30+ years of ups and downs (more downs than ups) it was an amazing night. Now for the party in London on Saturday

Can't say I'm disappointed to see Millwall fall, predictable I know.

Good enough for the PL? I think so, I have enjoyed watching them all season

Apologies for the FB link

I'm watching Sky Sports at the moment, and it's occurred to me that none of the managers in the play-off teams could really organise a tactical game to try to engineer who they play against - it's really that tight. As goals are scored, the whole shebang changes. Nightmare if your job depends upon it. Heart-stopping if you're a totally committed fan.

Well done Bournemouth!!!

I'm a Watford supporter but live around Bournemouth and on balance you guys deserved it.

[nicanary]

I don't think I've heard a bad word all season about the Cherries - good luck to 'em.

I reckon Boro will be a bridge too far for Brentford, but we'll see. Now my lot v. the Tractor Boys (that's a joke - there are far more tractors in Norfolk) will not be for the faint-hearted. Especially if it's 0-0 after the first leg. There will be blood. I suspect it won't be the prettiest football of the year.

Derby imploded - I hear Steve McClaren is looking elsewhere already, before the boot.

What's that? Have the Championship title as nobody else wants it? Oh ok, don't mind if we do!

GET IIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Had a fantastic day at The Valley yesterday , just unbelievable! AFC Bournemouth, deserved champions. Still can't quite believe that the likes of Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea etc will be coming to our little town next season!

Sorry if I sound patronising, but the whole English football community is behind you. Or should be, if they've got any heart. Have fun.

What a story, fantastic stuff. Best of luck to Bournemouth in the EPL.

[GloverMart]

Great story at Bournemouth this season. Came up with us to the Championship two seasons ago and now, while we reflect on playing League Two football next season, the Cherries will be playing Chelsea, Arsenal et al.

Unbelievable stuff.

[RosscoPCole]

Went down to see the Bournemouth's open top bus parade with 60,000 other supporters. What a great atmosphere along the prom. I hope that the team does not get relegated next season and manage a few years with the big boys.

I was at the game and I can tell you the Watford fans really weren't that bothered. I was in the town for dinner on the Saturday and the atmosphere was electric with Watford players even spraying champagne everwhere outside one of the restuarants.

Frankly, it's not much a taunt towards a club that are going to be in the premier league next season and landed £130m in the process.

Now Derby on the other hand, that's funny!!

I have on thing to add


COME ON BRENTFORD!!!!!
