Yep, even the papers back home are refering to teams that choke at the end of the season as doing an Ipswich. Here we are again play off number seven with a rotten track record of never showing up, except the one time we did win.
Donations for dark beer and shots of Jager will be taken at this house for the next two weeks, or one week depending on who shows up against the Hammers. -?

I'd love Stockport to be in the playoffs 7 times without winning any of them
Reading are another comedy side that are there or thereabouts in the season but then either fluff the play-offs or miss them by a game or two.
I saw them fluff it at Wembley in 1995 when Bolton came back from 2-0 down - hell of a game.
I think the top 2 should go up, and bottom 2 go down. The next 4 play a mini-cup round robin style. Far more fun.
Honesty there are days I wish I was born in a town where the team had no expectations or trophies under the belt. At least you could get excited about going to the playoffs, the up 'n' down teams make for a rollercoaster you just want to get off sometimes. Especially knowing what happens if we do win, last time the following season we finished 5th in the Prem and off to Europe. The next season 18th and trip back down going bankrupt to boot when we got there, I mean who does that?
Could be worse, the other option is making it to the European Cup Final and still crying about our league position roll

Remember the Charlton Vs Sunderland playoff game a few years ago?
I think that had to be one of the entertaining playoff games (as a neutral :wink: ) I have ever seen

You should try being a life long Reading fan and watching them fluff at the end of every season.
As for the Bolton game how unlucky were we finishing second in the season that they decided to only give automatic promotion to one team.

That is a very good point - rough justice indeed.
Fortunately, I was back at Wembley the following year for the play-offs and saw Plymouth win their game.
The real question is - how the bloody hell did Wigan get into the premiership?
Fantastic achievement, but I don't hold out much hope for them next season. o
Same way Man City made their way back, half decent manager with a reasonable budget that knows football but is not a not top class manager.
Interesting to see if Paul Jewell will make the step up, the club has pledged 10-25mil for players next season and thats a whole different ball of wax for him. George Burley made some bad choices when in the same position for Ipswich, spending the money well is part of being a top class manager.
I pick them to stay up next season and ride the wave, as for who goes down lets see how the prem pans out sunday and whos got some cash in the close season.
I like it - Wigan chairman -
He added "I've not got a lot of change out of £75m I suppose, what with building the ground and picking the club up and buying players.
"But it's money that I would only have given to the government on my death so I may as well enjoy it and let the people of Wigan enjoy it with me.
lol
4 premiership teams in Greater Manchester.
nice D
4 premiership teams in Greater Manchester.
nice :D
Yeah - I suppose it is when you think about it.
Now if they can all give Stockport about £30 million, they might make it back up to League 1.

(in my best Vic and Bob voice)
yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu wouldn't let it lie.
4 in League 2 also if Oldham hadn't have let me down
Bury, Rochdale, Stockport have to fight it out to be the counties worst league team..............
I just hope and pray that Macclesfield stay down.
If Macclesfield go up then we will have reached the nadir.

We don't even have to fight it out...we just are... particularly now our arsewipe of a chairmen got rid of the Argies. :evil:
