- Thread starter matys
- Start date
What a job Neil Warnock has done.
Think playing them first game of playoffs will be tough... Would have preferred Blackburn.
Huddersfield???
Blackburn putting in the work!
No pasarán.
No pasarán.
Warnock is at Huddersfield.
One of the best survival jobs in recent memory.
Really want Sunderland to go up. They like us quite much after following their forum sometimes.
Has that ever happened before where Boro v Coventry playing the last game of the season also end up facing each other in the play-offs?
What a capitulation by Millwall.

Preston were quite happy not helping Blackburn to the play off's.

Mark Robins has done a brilliant job at Coventry.
Would have preferred Boro v Sunderland.
Rooting for Coventry or Sunderland to come up. But ‘Boro have the Carrick factor but I find everything about ‘Boro to be boring as feck
Coventry got to be a bit of a dark horse in the playoffs, Robins has done a hell of a job.
Would love to see Coventry back up no offence to Carrick. Luton for the novelty factor of a new PL team.
Hope it's not those Sunderland cnuts. Never liked them since 2012. They way they were celebrating you'd think Newcastle had been stopped from winning the league

No Luton love? Pure underdogs man, no budget but we punching like Rocky!
Ashame about Millwall. Was looking forward to there games against West Ham in the prem not that they’d of won the play offs anyway.
not that they’d of won the play offs anyway.You got my vote. I hope you take it only because of underdog situation and who wouldn't want to go to your homeground? Luton in Premier League would be a cinderella story.
Would they even be allowed to play there? I'm sure I saw that it falls way short of regulations.
I'm not sure. I hope so. It would be shame if they couldn't. It takes away the little things that are left in football.
You mean like their stadium for example?
Luton in the PL would be mad
To be honest theres a story with every team
Boro - Carrick
Sunderland - Went all the way to league 1 and possibly back + Amad
Luton- Massive underdog story. Would be great to see them in the PL
Coventry - Old school PL side which would be cool to see back after many years

Yes. Those little things that aren't yet "modernised" in every way it can be. I really hope they go up and they are able to play there. It would be great contrast.

Promotion to the Premier League could cost Luton Town about £10m in ground improvements, despite work on a new stadium due to start.
The Hatters are currently third in the Championship.
Chief executive Gary Sweet said they would have to "pretty much rebuild" one stand at their Kenilworth Road ground to comply with Premier League requirements.
"It is maybe more of a gargantuan task than building a new stadium," he said.
Remember Luton went out of the League altogether so even more of a story.
We would probably accelerate the move to power court or hire a new stadium... No fecking way Haaland, Salah, Rashy etc gonna be jumping over garden fences to get to the away end
Usually I would, I’m not too far from Luton but your airport was a twat to me recently
Haha but cheap flights!!Usually I would, I’m not too far from Luton but your airport was a twat to me recently
Improve it to minimum standard and use it at least one year. Just for the sake of football and the soul of football. What a statement it would be to all those small clubs who are dreaming to play one day in Premeire League. What a statement it would be in the world about little clubs being given chance against mega clubs. Not everything needs or should be be in a identical way.
Coventry were in League 2 just 5 years ago.
We're unbeaten in quite a while... I think all 4 teams have a shot but I really really hope we can do it. feck I'm so nervous
It is hard to pick a winner from this playoff. Every club have something for them in terms of form or players or history. Great games ahead. But as I said, I hope you take it.We're unbeaten in quite a while... I think all 4 teams have a shot but I really really hope we can do it. feck I'm so nervous
As were Luton. Both sides came up from that division in 2018 alongside Accrington and Wycombe.
Cracking play off group. Middlesbrough were in the league growing up for me. Luton would be new and I missed Coventry's tenure as part of the furniture. Coventry have a decent side with Gyokeres and Hamer in particular impressive.
Sunderland are the "least" interesting one for me due to them being in the league for a decade recently but they've come back from a delicate position for a club of their size.
