In the grand scheme of things we haven't a lot to complain about: from the bottom tier to Premiership contenders in a decade, three trips to Wembley in as many years, a big new stadium and massively increased crowds.
That was a fantastic match for the neutral .... both sides going at it throughout like teams who were determined to win rather than avoid losing. Cardiff were unlucky. Also feel sorry for Dave Jones .... a good man and a good manager who was treated like a piece of shit by Southampton. I hope he gets Cardiff into the Prem soon ....
I'm afraid he's a bit of a choker....certainly was with Wolves when he was handed plenty of cash. He's a great guy though and I agree the way Southampton treated him was utterly despicable. If he hangs around next year you should easily make the play offs again maybe automatic as the three sides coming down, aside from Hull are in pretty bad shape.
I reckon we've had a fucking fantastic season. New stadium, massively increased crowds, some great games, some decent attacking football and only missing out on promotion my a hair's breadth.

Beating the Jacks, six nil thrashing of Bristol city, sticking six on Derby, scoring six twice in one season! Trip to Chelski, trip to Aston Villa, fancy dress away to Derby, trip to Wembley (again), daughter going to first away games, turning Plymouth away into a week in Devon, the tension of the home leg of the play off semi final, the relief of being able to stand up in where my season ticket is in the new stadium, goals coming from everywhere, women with barrels of Strongbow on their back so you don’t have to queue at bar.
Ups:-
Beating Bristol City 3-0 with some lovely football; sticking six on Derby; taking my boys down a couple of times; the semi-final home leg and the trip to Wembley.
Downs:-
Last minute equaliser to Forest; not really turning up at Wembley when it mattered most.
11 games - 5 wins - 4 draws - 2 defeats. Shit loads of goals and damn fine entertainment most of the time. Looking forward to next season.
If Ledley goes to Rangers we get no compo, although I suppose we can't complain seeing as though we have exploited that avenue, the other way, often enough.
