Swansea and Cardiff are going to be buzzing going into the playoffs. Brentford with a major choke can't see them getting up for it. Perhaps Fulham have more of a chance as they didn't blow it so badly...

True although has zero relevance for next season, still feel their wage bill will need to come down and that is the real test

Reports suggest their wage average is 26000

Someone was talking about Stoke on talksport today apparently now some loaned out players have come back they have 31 first team players and stuck with most on Premiership contracts with a year or more to run, crazy.

Nothing to worry about? Some of the football on display tonight was miles better than anything we've regularly faced in years. I think we'll stay up but only a fool would take that league so lightly.

Swansea to win p-o. Must be buzzing to have sneaked in. Brentford could well suffer knowing it was in their own hands with two winnable games to go and lost both.

We would be absolutely the same, if not worse.

It needed a combination of a Forest defeat AND a Swansea win AND a 5 goal swing, for Swansea to pip Forest

Unbelievable.

When you only need a draw at home on the final day of the season, or a narrow loss, you really shouldn't be losing 4-1.

This isn't a cut and dried badly run club issue that caused the administration. There are a lot of allegations of wrongdoing behind the scenes which the EFL will have to consider. The new owner who put them in admin 10 days after taking control is apparently going to talk to the EFL as part of the discussion. That conversation could be a decider.

It doesn't matter why they went into admin, it just matters they they did. The rules are the rules, you set a scary precedent if you now don't deduct points.

Sheffield Wed and Derby with points deductions as well

Great timing to get promoted. Good opportunity to stay up with middle table finish.

Gotta feel for Wigan but what a final day.
Shame for the fans who can't attend too but most entertaining league in the world in my opinion.

I personally feel nothing for Wigan tin pot club been skirting round ffp for years with hand outs from owner and fancy accounting, and where was all the sympathy when we were deducted twice , fuck um.

This was on the Forest forum when they had just equalised to make it 1-1

Re: Matchday 46 - Nottingham Forest v Stoke City - Official Matchday Thread
For the hard of thinking, as it stands now, Swansea need a five goal swing in half an hour.


This forum would be in complete and total meltdown too. Can you imagine.

Great finish to the championship...relegation, autos and playoffs down to last game and for Swansea the last kick. Feel sorry for the fans who couldn’t share the highs and lows but not for the clubs themselves. Can’t believe forest blew it so spectacularly. But no sympathy for Wigan...they knew the risk when going into admin and I believe the owners gambled on being safe.

And Luton have only lost twice in 15 to survive, since their manager came in...the one Stoke got rid of...football really is a funny old game.

This is why Robins will stick around for Cov for a while.

Something about Nathan Jones and Luton gels really well.

Loads fo the inlaws are Forest fans and we're planing to make a weekend of it so glad about that.

I like London away days and South Wales is easy for me though so if they could just cancel the playoffs that would eb great.

Well, that season is done. We can make of the Championship what we will. All we really need for completion is for Villa to slip up against West 'Aaaaaam and Watford to perform a miracle against Arsenal on Sunday to make the 19/20 Season one to truly remember.

My predictions are woefully inaccurate (still on a 0% success rate) so here goes

Arsenal 0-0 Watford
West 'Ammm 0-5 Villa

Think I'd rather Watford came down. We'd only get beaten by Villa.

Fair comment. Though I disagree about the result. They were our bogey team but times have changed and so have the managers, grounds (in our case), squads and owners. Only the fans remain so if the bogey sticks, we have only ourselves to blame And having been to Vicarage Road just the once, I wasn't overly impressed with the setup. At least, playing Villa will generate some atmosphere whether we're at the Ricoh or Stans.

I saw today they have retired his shirt number 22. I know he’s a talent, but he’s only 17 and hasn’t done anything yet in his career? Anyone else find that a bit odd??

To be fair, Bournemouth can still stay up too! They’re at Everton (who are poor) but need Watford and villa to lose. Wasn’t that like us in 97?!
