The Championship 2019-20

[Sprocket.]

Barnsley have a hill to climb tonight but all I can see at the moment is tears for Tarn.
A shame for next season because Barnsley v Rotherham is always an event.

 

[hash tag]

It's a hellva night tonight....holds breath...

 

[Numbers]

Come on you Bees.

A sad night at Griffin Park. The last match and the stand if full of cut outs

 

[blairsh]

Thought there was a some serious shit going down next door, walls rumbling and shouting...then remembered neighbour is a Barnsley fan

 

[hash tag]

It started well....

 

[blairsh]

Sorry Numbers

 

[Maggot]

Am rooting for Brentford tonight. They need to up their game.

Sorry Numbers

As an aside, picked up the Appleton Estate 21 year old this week. Incredible.

Swansea's fourth in injury time puts them ahead of Forest. Gripping stuff.

Sigh...looks like the play offs

By 1 goal difference, crazy.

Luton escape, despite having been in bottom three since Boxing Day! Get in!

blues escape relegation by the skin of our teeth! wish i could say i was happy but it's been grim and turgid watching the games and that's the better passages of play! we haven't won for 15 games now - why couldn't my uncle have dragged me to old trafford instead of st andrews when i was a kid, would've saved a lot of heartache heh (kidding, i still love 'em i suppose). edit: congrats to the baggies (through gritted teeth) ps good luck to jude bellingham, signed for dortmund, watch out for this kid, he's gonna be fantastic! pps lol at forest haha

minor bit of drama with the owners outside the ground as well tonight, they're lucky the fans aren't allowed in at the minute. warning - Very Naughty language and brummie accents

Nice to see WBA go up though. Saw them in 68ish phenomenal ground they had then, really steep terraces so felt all closed in, amazing atmosphere. Hope Villa stays up too

Another reason why I'm happy to not be involved in 'big' clubs.

Why the facepalm? Is a load of pumped up blokes shouting 'CUNT' your idea of supporting a club?

No.

Barnsley! Toby Tyke the dog with two dicks. I can’t believe what I’ll have to put up with when I get back to work.

Wouldn't say we're a big club particularly, but that video is in the context of a lot of building resentment and frustration with our inscrutable Chinese owners (our previous owner was sent to prison for money laundering whilst still owning the club) and the current owner seems seriously dodgy as well. No-one really knows what's going on and they've made a series of bafflingly bad decisions, so because they refuse to communicate, fans are getting hacked off. On the other hand, they've apparently spaffed £90 million quid on the club, which is just crazy. Not excusing some of that behaviour at all, it's idiotic, but it's going to get much worse i think - they're lucky there are no fans at the ground at the minute, anyone from the midlands will tell you some blues can be a nasty lot.
But then, most clubs have an element of idiots- I was sitting on a wall eating chips, minding my own business at the millenium stadium in Cardiff before our league cup final loss to Liverpool some years ago, when I got smacked in the head by one of a group of Cardiff fans who were looking to pick off lone blues fans. Cardiff weren't even playing! Most annoyingly, my chips went flying as i fell backwards over the wall. I also got punched by a group of Stoke City fans for no reason once as well.

fucking hell - well done barnsley! brentford get another bite at promotion in the playoffs. Leeds finish 10pts clear ("falling apart again" - not) .

eta - possible cardiff vs swansea playoff final! (empty wembley though )

 

[Athos]

Now Luton are safe, I want any points deductions to take effect next season, instead!

 

[Numbers]

Gutted we blew automatic promotion. Last 3 games we've been well under par and bossed out of games, we were lucky to get the 3 points against Preston, we were terrible for most of the game.

Playoffs it is - after the start we had to the season I'd have taken that all day long, just seemed big opportunity lost.

Yeah, especially going into the playoffs with negative momentum. Shame, I'd have liked to see Bees do it; have had some great away days there with Luton (this season excluded!).
