Thank fark we avoided playoffs. Not looking good for seaguuulllllls in battle of the birds. Good luck Tigers in battle of the beasts.

I know, I know, its serious!

16 May 22:46

Tough on Seagulls. Amazing first half - one way. Over whole game they had about 20 shots, most on target, 10 corners. Wednesday about 2 shots on target and 1 corner.

So Derby win 2-0 today but lose 3-2 on aggregate. Hull and Wednesday in the final. I hope Wednesday wins it!

18 May 07:22

I want the Tigers to win for our fellow fan on here but then I'd like to see the Owls win to add a cool name to the EPL.

Hull City are promoted to the Premier League again!

Hull City 1–0 Sheffield Wednesday
Mohammed Diamé 72' 1–0

Hull had a solid first half, dominating it and having quite a few shots on goal; unluckily for them, Wednesday's keeper Keiren Westwood had a massive first half too though putting in some great saves. Andy Robertson (Hull) misses a blatant chance one on one after a fantastic cross from Odubajo fifteen minutes into the second half. Hull finally get the first breakthrough in the 72nd minute with a wonderful strike from Mohamed Diamé. Abel Hernández has a shot blocked in the 82nd minute. Wednesday haven't shown much throughout the game, few and sparse chances. Match ends 1–0 with Hull the victors.

Barnsley are promoted to the Championship!

Barnsley 3–1 Millwall
Ashley Fletcher 2' 1–0
Adam Hammill 19' 2–0
2–1 Mark Beevers 34'
Lloyd Isgrove 74' 3–1

After two seasons in League One, Barnsley are promoted to the Championship where they will spend their 77th season at the second tier of English football. Meanwhile, Millwall for a second consecutive season will be in League One and will be in the third tier for a 43rd season. 

Barnsley is the 24th and last team to be confirmed to play in the 2016–17 Football League Championship.

Watching Norwich at Reading right now on Bein 2. I am sure the crowd are singing "All we want is a team of Vinnie Lia's"

seagulls go top. Love it

05 Jan 09:34

Well, it's definitely something. 

Unlike Norwich's season.

I have no hate for Chris Houghton - or in a weird way Newcastle or Brighton. I just hope we can make the play-offs and have bragging rights over the Tractor-Tards.

06 Jan 19:49

I would have loved to have Houghton as manager a few years back or even now. Although Ollie has 2 wins on the bounce.

Houghton was a great manager at Birmingham...but enough about that, we have finally scored a win...hurrah! (good cause it was against wolves and could only be bettered if it was Villa)  Zola doing his level best to get us relegated but this win might just see him hang onto his job a bit longer

Certainly a lot cheaper then the $200 the club wanted to charge for their sharke streaming service.

Where did you see that LG? Not on their site as far as I can see.

17 Oct 17:41

I watched QPR v Fulham, that was their first game back. I watched a league 1 and a league 2 game 2 weeks ago.

As for the QPR service. That would be the one with the crap broken commentaries, the time out, locked up delays?? Glad I did not buy into it. Although i would rather see the money go to the club than those other parasites whom made continuous cocks ups - PTV.

Thank God I taped the game against Brentford. I'd given up at 2-0 down and went out.

Reckin wolves will get promoted?

Hope so!

Hope not, still haven't forgiven their gutless performance against Liverpool in 1976.

Wolves up after Brentford draw with Fulham.

Something that I read earlier...

Started like this: Wolves are champions of England.

Followed by: what??

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
