Football League: Discussion

No surprises in the playoffs this season as every 3rd and 4th placed team from the championship down to the conference have made the playoff final, good job we didn't nick the last playoff spot then

Im going for Grimsby, Wycombe, Preston and Norwich to be promoted

Congratulations to Bristol Rovers who are back in the league after beating Grimsby 5-3 on penalties at Wembley after a 1-1 draw AET

Gutted for Grimsby .

that's three years in a row they have lost in the playoffs, luton fans know how they feel

Wow - high drama at Wembley - Southend have just scored to equalise. Now we go into penalties. Final score after extra time finished.

Southend United 1 Wycombe Wanderers 1

Edit - Congratulations to Southend United who have won the penalty shootout 7-6 after it went to sudden death.

0 out of 2 for me so far then

I feel sorry for Wycombe, for most of the season they were in the automatic promotion places but in the end they had to settle for a playoff place, they were seconds away from winning promotion until Southend scored in the last minute of extra time and then Southend went on to win on penalties

What I found highly amusing was that most of the Southend fans thought the game was over and started to leave Wembley before the final whistle (Some fans eh) only for them to equalise in the dying seconds in which SKY Sports cameras filmed them making a mad dash back to the stadium, I wonder if they were allowed back in

What I also liked was the fantastic sporting gesture made by the 2 managers standing side by side which was a really positive message to be sending out, I hope more managers start to show the same respect to each other now rather than the usual point scoring brownie points which has become all too familiar in the modern game.

Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger please take note to name but a few

it was pathetic of them to get up and leave in such an important game its not as if they were 2-0 or 3-0 down, why leave early just to beat a bit of fucking traffic, anyway i bet they are happy and completely pissed right now though

Never over until it's over.
Some fans never ever learn.

Hoping North End get promoted but they have lost last 9 playoff finals so not so confident
