    Into the final game Blackburn could have pipped Bristol City. They finished the season with a record fractionally above 'par', ie won just 1 game more than they lost. It shows that it's within the ability of pretty much any half decent Championship side to make a genuine shot at the play offs. What a wasted 4 seasons..

    Their pre match messageboard topic of chasing any spare tickets for the second leg has suddenly changed into one of fans offering second leg tickets at a knock down price.

    I didn't realise they had become a knock off version of the Nigel's with their little ultra corner. Cringey bastards. Well done Moore and co.

    Commentator was continually lauding them, until they suddenly went ultra quiet.

    Gary Bennett just said, ‘If that was on target, it would have been a goal’.

    Of course not, he has a football brain and won’t be a “yes man” for the dictator

    The two goals from Sunderland brought the quality of our finishing into stark contrast.

    As their strikers approached the opposition area you sensed their absolute confidence in what they would do with the ball, and they carried it out with ease.

    Its been a while since I felt that way about a City striker.

    Coventry arent out of it yet, but their efforts, along with the wurzels, who were second best before the red card, are only adding to the argument that its been a really weak Championship this season.

    A name change - 'The Poster who used to be known as Tuerto' - in the offing?

    For fairness it should be a Sheffield United Sunderland final.

    Both teams have been in the top 4 all season and nobody has got near. Bristol city and Coventry are way off them both over the season.

    Leeds and Burnley clearly the 2 best teams. Then Sheffield United and Sunderland. How it should be.

    I agree, although I would hate for the format we see now get scrapped in favour of a third and fourth play off. The football authorities mess plenty up, but the play offs are brilliant.

    I agree. So much so that it amazes me it isn't replicated elsewhere. I'm not aware of the same format (3rd v 6th, 4th v 5th with a final in a big neutral stadium) being used anywhere else and yet it so clearly works

    Yeah normally I'd totally agree. And also Sheffield United and Sunderland both failed to get top 2 so they can't really complain.

    Just this year the top 3 then top 4 have been so far clear.

    Lumps of terrace concrete flying everywhere, I miss the good old days.

    A lot of leagues play that relegation, promotion play off but to me it just favours the higher league club even if they are used to losing.

    I love the drama of our version over here. Just works well and generally keeps more teams interested into April/May.
