There's a saying here in Arkansas, "The swill shapes the swine" which roughly translates to "Goals change games."


Very true…Sunderland looked much better in the 2nd half. Would still back Luton in the 2nd leg, but that was a cracking PO semi

Luton could well win the playoffs, as they’re a big strong team but they’re oxf*rd dull to watch. They should’ve had a player sent off too. I really hope Sunderland or Coventry win the playoffs.

Sunderland in the premier league would be so dull. Their away forms good so I back them to get through.

Coventry would be my choice to win the playoffs.

Don't think we should be talking about Luton or Sunderland here

Should be Peterborough and Sheffield weds

Don Goodman saying "You can't win a playoff in the 1st leg but you can certainly lose it"

That makes no sense... surely if you can lose it then the other team has won it

Don Goodman also said Wolves were the best side ever to be promoted from the Championship? Forget to mention they had a 40 million pound budget and players who had played in the Champions League. And still failed to get a 100 points.

It really is a sickener watching Brighton nowadays…the contrast on the trajectories between the 2 of us is hard to stomach. They are at least double the size of us, play brilliant football & are heading to Europe.

Shows what happens when you have decent owners who run a club well doesn’t it.

yep, I have no axe to grind with them (despite their dislike of us)…remembering the ‘SKINT’ days

Tbf they are an exceptional team. There are our her decebt owners who run their clubs well who aren’t anywhere near that level. Can’t take it away from them how good they are now

But think they’d have been done for FFP had they not gone up and almost got relegated the last 3 years so it’s been a slog. But they look the real deal now
