So who does everyone want to go up via the play-offs?
From a club stand point, Southampton would be the most logical. They are clearly a cut above the rest and would most likely go up automatically next season if they don't, so would be nice to not immediately go into next season giving away six points.
From a neutral POV, I do hate Millwall but think they would bring the most entertainment value. Seeing them host West Ham, Chelsea, Arsenal at The Den would just be hilarious.
Hull I don't think have any chance anyway, but would like them to stay down as I can't imagine them maintaining this form next season.
Middlesbrough, I'm really not fussed either way.
I'm seeing a Millwall vs Southampton final, with Southampton winning it in extra time.

I went to Wembley to watch Orient blow it in last season's playoff final.
It's actually quite nice to experience it with less skin in the game.
Must say I’m looking forward to it more than any game for some time. Would love to see them win and making a proper day of it but if it was Rangers I wouldn’t have a hope of getting anything done this week. Bobby Zamora Day was a glorious moment and feeling after the match but the morning I was a bag of nerves. Not much of a drinker but had plenty before which didn’t touch the sides. No memory of any of it really other than the goal. If we ever by some miracle got to a real cup final I think I’d be throwing up all morning.

You’d think after seeing thousands and thousands of football matches at all levels you’ve seen every type of goal then you see the last minute of Stevenage v Stockport.

As an aside Sky have a pretty good doco looking at 40 years of the playoffs. Inevitably the Zamora moment gets well covered (you can FF through the bits where they interview Redknobb).
Hadn't realised the playoff concept was the brainchild of a previous Brentford chairman, Martin Lange.
Surprised with the Prem/Sky’s neverending bloodlust for more games they haven’t dreamt up a PL playoff for the last relegation spot. 15th-18th playing off with a losers’ final to avoid relegation. Might email them.

Real let down for Millwall. I had a feeling Millwall were going to get promoted. Be interesting to see if they can replicate their form next season. I dont think they will myself.
Hull in the final. If they managed to get up, can see thats one relgation place booked for next seasom from the prem then...

For the first two seasons after they were introduced the team finishing fourth from bottom in the old first division would be in a play off with the teams finishing third, fourth and fifth in division two. This was used as a method of reducing the first division from 22 to 20 teams
I think there was crowd trouble when North Battersea were RELEGATED😁 in 1988 after failing to overcome a two goal deficit from the away leg of the final, losing 2-1 on aggregate to Middlesbrough.

Yeah funnily enough.
Also a timely reminder of the Chelscum car park behind the goals...

A friend of mine was there with the Boro. His dad got hit with a bolt thrown from the old West stand, they were tearing out the benches.

Yep, never seen that one before. The attacking player looked like he was doing a first practice run of a Paul Smyth star dive but forgot to do it in the vicinity of a defender. And then the classic failure of the defenders to play to the whistle.

They were top in October but they didn’t win any of the next 25 games.Fantastic year to be alive.

Yes Millwall were well below what we have seen from them this season, they looked nervous and that early Hull onslought think got inside their heads. For me Southampton are the team to win the play offs, Boro need to find the form they showed 2 or 3 months ago to turn them over tonight. Hull are a weird team, but could do it, you never know.
