Couldn't give a fuck about our match. Let's just finish it, get slapped, remember how shit this season was and focus on next season.

Such a soft penalty for Wednesday

Haven't seen, but it's now cost them a play off place as a result, with Peterborough taking the final spot.

Yeah, bit of terrible officiating. 
 

Notts County looking to have thrown their season down the drain here as well. 

[Rick]

Just as I say that they equalise

And then win! What a comeback. 

[Stan]

Hoskins just scored a worldie for Northampton. Have to win to be sure of the final automatic promotion spot.

[Stan]

Northampton promoted after their win, which made Stockport's draw irrelevant really. 

Mansfield miss out on a play-off place by 1 solitary goal. Salford lost, but Mansfield only won 2-0. Their GD is inferior to Salford's by one goal, and they had both scored the same amount all season (72).

Even if we win… we need Sunderland and West Brom both not to win.

I was actually shocked to read Blackburn haven't won a league game since 15th March. They've gone 8 games without one, 5pts out of a possible 28.

That's a shocking run of form, it truly is and kinda mirrors last season when they fell away from 5th with about 8 games to go. So frustrating for them to blow it on the home straight again.

[Dave]

Given how close they were to getting promoted last season, it's quite impressive to see the demise of MK Dons this season.

[Stan]

Cracking game at Millwall.

Well this is going exactly as planned. 72 minutes gone, 3-0 down, look absolutely awful.

I'm chucking money on us to get relegated next season. It truly will be miraculous if we stay up again.

Jeez Blackburn

3-1 down at half time, now 4-3 up with 5 mins to go.

Unfortunately it won't matter with results going against them. The goal difference really is going to come into play.

Shame for Blackburn 

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Boro, Coventry, Luton and Sunderland in the play offs. Don't think anyone would have tipped those to be the four in the play offs at the beginning of the season.

[Lucas]

I'm absolutely in love with that Millwall collapse.

Part of me was always curious to see them come up, especially for the West Ham/Chelsea games and the carnage that'd bring, but equally, no, fuck 'em.

It's just a shame for Blackburn it counts for nothing.

I'm still hoping Coventry and Robbins does it, but Sunderland have that 'last one in, go all the way' vibe about them.

[Dave]

That Millwall collapse was spectacular.

They'd have a lot of 'fans' come out the woodwork if they got promoted that would take away anything they achieve on the pitch pretty quickly. So I'm quite glad they're not being promoted.

I'm happy to see any of the four teams in the playoffs be a part of the Premier League next season. They all feel fresh and will hopefully make a good contribution.

100% backing Luton. Their rise has been brilliant. 

Coventry also but by default I cannot back them
