Zappa 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The play offs are always exciting. West Ham Cardiff and Blackpool Birmingham is it? Aye, that's it. I feel sorry for West Ham. They finished 11 points clear of Cardiff and yet Cardiff could still win the promotion. It's nearly always the same with these Championship play-offs though. As exciting as they might be, the team who finishes the league in third position on points after the 46 games must always feel hard done by if they don't get promotion after finishing 3rd in the league. Maybe to balance it up the EPL should only have 2 automatic relegation places with the third decided in play-offs between the 15th, 16th, 17th & 18th placed teams. I bet the EPL clubs wouldn't vote that idea through! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The entire Football League carry debt of around £1.5bn....average turnover to wages ration is 83% in the Championship ffs. It's mind boggling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mind boggling. In Spain it's half that. 750M. Modern football is badly in debt. In saying that, half of that is Barca. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 The play offs are always exciting. West Ham Cardiff and Blackpool Birmingham is it? Bit ironic if Birmingham went up and Villa got relegated from the PL although it looks a long shot Want Cardiff to go up. They've been up for promotion forever and never seem to get there. Plus have one or two former Rangers players. Maybe more. I'd like to see them finally break their duck. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Unlucky day for West Ham Gribz! Southampton promoted, so it's play-off time for your English team. Yup, drawing 7 of our last 10 home matches has cost us. To draw with Watford and Doncaster in the space of 3 days last month was the killer. Still fancy us to get the the final, I think we'll beat Cardiff. But Birmingham are on good form and Blackpool can beat anyone on their day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
