2014/15 Championship Thread

First topic message reminder :

Read an awful article on top 50 managers under 50. Katanga higher than Howe and Dyche, to name just two.

Game over.

Defence-splitting pass and Jerome needs a bit of precision timing to slide the ball past the keeper. Looked a lot easier than it probably was.

Well played Norwich.

by FootballLight Sat 16 May - 13:56

Book your tickets now Norwich fans. Your place in the Play-Off final, packed, sealed and sent. Valiant effort throughout the season Ipswich, done well to even get this far. Commiserations.

by GSC Sat 16 May - 14:15

As suspected, Norwich and Middlesbrough ended up being a class above their opposition.

If I were a betting man, I'd back Norwich

by Nico the gman Sat 16 May - 14:24

Once Ipswich went down to 10, they were never going to hold out, still think keeper should have had the 2nd, poor effort IMO.

Justice was done, 3rd against 4th, both teams have match winners on their day, everyone outside Teesside fancies Norwich, underdog suits us.

by FootballLight Sat 16 May - 14:30

I'm going Middlesbrough. Both would suit the PL but I can just see Boro prevailing.

WEMBLEY BABAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 16 May - 19:55

Not sure I'd fancy us against Boro - they did us 4-0 and 1-0 this season

Today the day Nathan Redmond came of age. Exceptional performance

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 16 May - 22:26

I don't even care if we go up or not - I'll be happy whatever league we're in next season. Just so happy to be going to Wembley!

Hard game Olly,2 league games against you mean nothing, its whoever performs on the day, so have a good day out, and let the chips fall where they may.

Both clubs have had a great season, whatever happens.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 May - 18:30

Pretty sure the league games are an indicator of how things will go - thus why I was confident against Ipswich, and would've been against Brentford.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 17 May - 19:41

Congrats to the boys, happy for you Owen, Nico and Olly. Good little bank holiday to look forward to. Make sure you go, Olly, theres nothing like it.

Tickets already booked my man - lower tier just to the left of the goal. Cannot wait!

Thanks very much Dolphin, glad I'm a season ticket holder, general sale has been suspended till Wednesday, estimated 26000 on ticket line at same time, fans on phone over 2 hours and not moving in queue bloody hopeless, as one fan said I would sooner just queue outside the ground than mess about like this.

Our ticket office is always useless in situations like this, they never get it right.

by GSC Tue 19 May - 11:42

Jamie Ward. Woo

by Derbymanc Tue 19 May - 11:45

Very good player on his day GSC, Hit too much by injuries lately but could be a very shrewd signing for yourselves as I can see him wanting to show DCFC what they're missing out on and that he is worth the trouble.

by Nakatomi Plaza Tue 19 May - 20:42

Just seen Blackpool have released 17 players, but have retained Nile Ranger, who's been awol since November. That club's been completely pillaged.

The trials and tribulations of being a Middlesbrough fan... Laugh

Wembley officials apologise for mis-spelling "Middlesbrough" on play-off tickets

Going from what Nico has said, I don't fancy my chances of getting a ticket...especially as I'm not a season ticket holder... Sad

All extra tickets now sold, ticket touts charging £900, fans been told tickets may not be genuine.

McClaren walks

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 21 May - 22:01

Paul Clement expected to takeover. Interesting move for all parties; he's often linked with Prem jobs but I'm guessing he's got to take something now with Carlo leaving Real all but confirmed and Rafa and the like all bring their own backroom crew.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 21 May - 22:50

Paul Lambert would be a great fit there

by Nakatomi Plaza Fri 22 May - 6:23

Bit of transfer news, Wolves have signed Jed Wallace from Pompey for £275k. Scored 15 last season for a struggling side. Lots of Pompey fans think he's worth more, but Wolves have met his sell on clause.

by NickisBHAFC Fri 22 May - 10:20

Nothing confirmed yet at Derby.

Great signing for Wolves, a sign of things to come for us this summer, missing out on good signings.

by GSC Fri 22 May - 10:26

John Percy tends to be pretty reliable on this stuff

110lb World war II bomb found outside of Wembley Stadium. Play offs to still go ahead

Takes a week to remove and may potentially still explode

by FootballLight Fri 22 May - 11:00

Shame to see our world class midfielder Guthrie be released from the club. I'm sure he'll do well somewhere else. All the best to Andersen, Yakubu and Knight as well, good servants for your time here, did well.

by GSC Fri 22 May - 11:05

I heard Real were sniffing about.

by westisbest Fri 22 May - 11:07

Is that Real Salt Lake?

by GSC Fri 22 May - 11:10

Are players playing in the US eligible for the Balon D'or?

No, I think you meant Ipswich. Seen as though they sign all the Reading rejects (and before you start, that wasn't a dig at you because your a Forest fan).

Well if it hasn't exploded by now, it probably never will.

But enough about David Luiz's virginity...

No such luck, despite trying first thing in the morning and during my lunch breaks. Also didn't bother while the rail strike was on. Would've meant I could get there, but would be stuffed for getting back. steam

Hope everyone that did manage to get a ticket has a great day out. I'll be willing Boro on from my living room...hopefully scaring the neighbours with my goal celebrations.

Sorry to hear that, Ticketmaster have apologised to Boro fans after failing to post tickets, fans who haven't received their tickets by now will have to go and queue at the Riverside to get them, and if their ticket is not there they'll need to pick it up at Wembley.

What an absolute shambles this has been from start to finish, typical Boro, nowt wrong with the old queuing up system.

So thats 21/22 set. Doubt anyone will be upset Hull went down over Newcastle

Tomorrow I get to realise my footballing dream as a fan

I don't even care if we win or lose - heck I prefer it in the Championship to the PL!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 24 May - 21:23

Middlesborough fans seem shocked that Norwich fans (a mere 90 minute train ride/3 hour drive) aren't already in London...

Bless em

If I had to bet on anyone from us to be the hero tomorrow it'd be Jonny Howson. Throughout his career he's tended to score big goals plus he's a boss

Looking at it from a neutrals point of view - neither of us add a great deal to the PL
