OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE ORLANDIIIIIIII ORLANDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAGULLLLLLLLS

Were still going to lose 2-1 Sad

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:22 pm

Barnsley are taking a bit of a battering.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:24 pm

Nick you gotta deep down thing yoiu are going to get in the playoffs at this rate- the rest of us are shocking!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:25 pm

Cardiff 2-0 Forest

Cardiff have done it now haven't they.

Peterbrough 2-0 Watford, NO ONE WANTS PROMOTION!

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:26 pm

Speak for yourself Myst, we're playing the leaders away.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:27 pm

Ok yep your record has been something else... (unbeaten in 10 or something?)

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:27 pm

Just seen we have Casper Ankergran is in goal. NOOOOOOOOOO

man sausage up is coming. We 100% won't win now.

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:29 pm

This was always a day of damage limitation really. 3-0 down now.

That Cox was left out so he didnt get a booking and a suspension ahead of Boro says a lot.

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:31 pm

Oh dear Wolves. Conceded to go 2-1 behind, conceded another from the kickoff for 3-1, and from the next kick off O'Hara is sent off

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:33 pm

You really hate Wolves don't you Laugh

I thought they were heading in the right direction, obviously not!

Huge win for Huddersfield though. Sounds like a #HeadsGone moment for Jamie O Hara as well.

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:34 pm

I think it was funny regardless of your stance on Wolves Laugh

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:35 pm

played brigthon.. good win

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:36 pm

SPANISH DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I LOVE FOOTBALL ... sometimes

Still Ankergran is in goal, anything can happen!

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:37 pm

Nick you change your name back.. Stop confussing me

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:38 pm

hahaha sorry pal! People were actually calling me Dave as too Nick. Im thinking of Spanish Davie (as Davie is my last name and most of my mates call me by ser name anyway!

Balls, Bolton have scored.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:42 pm

FFS BOLTON!

Come on S.O.D work your magic. Feed Jon Stead and he will score!

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:44 pm

dave nick whatever¬!!! Very Happy

What the heck are charlton on today. Drug test em thats what i say.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:46 pm

thats it hull have top 2.

all about the other 4 spots..

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:47 pm

Charlton are a decent side tbf. Promotion contenders next season. Chris Powell is a superb manager.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:53 pm

i would put me house on the fact they dont. you are even a better team than that outfit

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:56 pm

Full time

Bristol City 1-2 Bolton is a shame though.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:56 pm

My ass is getting a bit sore as a palace fan you lot are getting to close!

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 4:58 pm

Gonna have to win at Boro on tues.

Its doable. Barnsley at home, and Millwall away are also both winnable. Leicester on the final day could get tricky

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 5:01 pm

This day just sums up the Championship. The most unpredictable fantastic league!

by Guest Sat 13 Apr 2013, 5:01 pm

Gotta say that Hull now have one foot in the door. Bruce has gone about his business well there.

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 5:03 pm

Yeah, but with Steve Bruce in charge they'll be right back down lol.

Wouldnt be confident in Hull staying up, grinding results out is fine in the Championship but it didnt work for Reading.

by mystiroakey Sat 13 Apr 2013, 5:06 pm

hull wont stay up..

cardiff and yes i will admit it watford would have a shot at staying up..

interesting last 4/5 games for us in the play off spots.

who is going to get in and who isnt!!??

i can see

palace
watford
forest
brighton

then its a toss up as to who will go through. but you would think games being played at wembley may give watford the advantage- they are not a home team anyway !!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 5:09 pm

Watford, Palace, Bolton and Forest for me.

by James_182 Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:22 pm

Good win for Rovers today clap

Need to get a run going, cant wait for Tuesday now!

by Guest Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:24 pm

I wonder if Wolves regret building that new stand now?

by James_182 Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:25 pm

This league is amazing though, any result seems possible!

by Guest Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:29 pm

Agree James. The BBC could do alot worse than put the Football League show on at a more sociable time. It's more often than not more entertaining than MOTD.

by James_182 Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:40 pm

Totally agree, it seems to really only get major notice in the final stages of the season.

Its a great league, and its been a roller coaster ride so far.

Other than Bristol, you still have realistically anyone up to about mid table who can still drop in these last 4 games!

by GSC Sat 13 Apr 2013, 6:45 pm

They could stick actual FL games on bbc since Sky wastes it

Did them on my coupon........ oops.

by mystiroakey Sun 14 Apr 2013, 11:04 am

so them idiot millwall fans did kick off then. My GF knows a family of millwall fans that went.. The mother got her arm broken by them idiots- who are supposed fans of the same team.. Got to feel sorry for these few actuall real football fans!!

Thank gawd they didnt get through!

by Duty281 Tue 16 Apr 2013, 6:11 pm

If Cardiff avoid defeat tonight, they'll have the reached the promised land of the English Premier League. Not bad for a Welsh club. Wink

by mystiroakey Tue 16 Apr 2013, 6:19 pm

2 in the pl hey!

I think its good for england that..(less kids from wales will take up rugby Smile

)

by thebluesmancometh Tue 16 Apr 2013, 7:44 pm

When the Swans and City both get to CL (i give it 3 years) we will own both rugby and Football in the UK...

Not bad for a big field in England eh?

by mystiroakey Tue 16 Apr 2013, 7:52 pm

How did you manage to sniff that one out bluesy. I dont normally see you over here...

Seriously though I am all for it. I would let the scottish teams in an all.. More scope= more fans and more passion

by GSC Tue 16 Apr 2013, 8:03 pm

BBC Sport ‏@BBCSport 41m
Cardiff director Steve Borley on @bbc5live: "People around the league are using us as a model as to how football should be run." #CCFC

...hmm

Don't generally pop over here much mate, just a coincidence I saw those posts. Only came sniffing for a link for the game...

I agree though, seeing the Scots enter the football league would be good, well now that Wales have a team or two worthy of competing anyway.

by GSC Tue 16 Apr 2013, 8:06 pm

I'd let the Scots in if they wanted to start at the bottom of the pyramid.

by mystiroakey Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:02 pm

Palace are getting smashed again!

Jokes..

We wont even get in the playoffs.

by GSC Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:37 pm

I wouldn't worry. Shocking performance up to now.

by mystiroakey Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:50 pm

Every team in the play off positions lost bar brigthon!!

They have gone above Palace on GD. Nicks gonna go nuts ...

by TopoftheChops Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:54 pm

3-0 to the super blues. Ipswich were rubbish, Palace even worse. WE ARE STAYING UP!

by Duty281 Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:55 pm

May I be the first to congratulate the Cardiff manager on being sacked next November when his club resides in 17th place? Oh that's just being cynical, well done Cardiff.

by GSC Tue 16 Apr 2013, 9:58 pm

Well done to Cardiff. Still can't approve of the rebrand though.
