Well that was a win-win or lose-lose game - the two sides I didn't want to get to the final.
On balance the best side won, and I'm happier to see Leeds pain than the other lot.
Of the Leeds team, only Dan James can be satisfied with his day out.
Russell Martin to be sacked before December (hopefully).
us jacks wouldn't see a penny of that 5 million quid and our ex manager who we still love for obvious reasons finally gets a job that he deserves after our owners taking the piss. Anything that embarrasses our greedy useless yank owners the better. A good day all round.Quote:

Apparently they turned down a huge bid from Southampton for Nathan Wood.Quote:

Problem is hes not worth anywhere near what they turned down.
With the Ipswich lads it would have been 6 or 7 players, plus the Leicester goalkeeper (if you can count him as he hardly plays).Quote:

Let’s be honest, the Championship looks a pretty bland division next season. Same old list of contenders. Not very inspiring at all.
40/1 - CardiffQuote:

When we came back down were we favourites to go back up? Didn’t we get 34 points? Twice as many as sheff utd? Don’t mean much reallyQuote:

Sunderland failed to win promotion with 90 points in the 90s after losing in the playoffs, though technically it was Division One, not the Championship.Quote:

Just looked and think Sunderland also hit 90 points in the 90's too without going up !
They dropped off after the last international break and were never the same again. Opposition teams were doubling up on their wide players and the midfield had no attacking threat. It looked like they had rediscovered their form at home to Norwich, but Summerville & Gnonto didn't really turn up today, and there's no Plan B.Quote:
