English Play-Offs Thread

Crystal Palace 0-2 Sunderland (Sunderland lead 4-3 on agg)

It's the only play-off going on tonight, so it's the only one I'd mention.

Come on Palace! You can do it!

I reckon Palace will play Ipswich in the final, I still have hope for Palace.

[IAceI]

Since we got those two goals its much more like a football match now and we can hold our own.

On a side note; Iain Dowie's head is fucking huge.

[botchedpiledriver]

I hope Sunderland go through to the final. They always produce entertaining play-off finals, especially for a neutral fan.

[Jook]

Come on Palace! I really want a Palace Ipswich final!

[botchedpiledriver]

I don't care who comes up to be honest,

Which ever team come up = 6 points for Villa.

So people can laugh when we get beat by Charlton?

[TMM]

PALACE!!!! Hell yeah! 2-1, extra-time here they come!

* If you're wondering why I'm supporting Palace here, it's because they're my local/second team.

[IAceI]

Shipperly pushed Poom over - should be a freekick.

Powell should be booked, he went into the crowd, Kyle got booked - he should be off.

Don't support them too much ref.

[Summers]

I agree with Ace, by the way.

And I'd like to see a Sunderland/Ipswich final, with Sunderland winning it.

[Johnny Drama]

doesnt it take into consideration away goals? or was it 2-1 in other leg?

[FLiam]

what a shootout!!!

What was that Jeff Whitley doing?? He tried to dummy DIDN'T work. And Palace are in the final!!! Come on Palace!!

[Summers]

Fucking Whitley. Trying to be clever, bastard.

Now I want Palace to go up, I like Dowie, and Julian Gray. So, ya know.

To be honest, Sunderland fucked over Sunderland. I am saying this from a neutral point of view. They had 2 oppotunities to end it in extra time but they decided to be cocky and play for penalties. To be honest, I feel sorry for Jason McAteer, he seemed devastated after he missed the penalty It would have been worse though if Palace had won after that. I want an Ipswich/Palace final. Not sure who i'd like to go up, i've always liked Palace (especially during their major financial crises a few seasons back where the team went from before Christmas to the end of the season with little or no pay, and they took their shirts home and washed them themselves) but i'd love for Ipswich and Norwich to both be in the Premiership.

And Whittley is a twat, what the fuck was he doing lol

On the bright side, I get to laugh at some Macums tomorrow, mwahahaha (They laughed at us when they thought Newcastle weren't going to get 5th, it's payback time)

Oh man, I remember the agony of the play-offs. I was at Wembley and the Millenium Stadium for two different play-off finals with Orient. Bad, bad memories, still brings a tear to my eye thinking about it now But well done Palace, I wanna see them go up

[TheArsenal]

I was there last year to see QPR undeservedly lose to Cardiff.

[Turbo Yannis]

I only seen a little bit of the game, but seen all of extra time and penalites. Mick Macarthy looked like he wanted to kill Whitley. Fucking hillarious

Sorry to burst your bubble YI but no, David Pugh screwed Sunderland, as Reily's MSN name rightly puts it; "The FA Presents: Montreal 2~! Starring David Pugh As Earl Hebner~! Mick McCarthy as Bret Hart, and Iain Dowie as HBK" Sorry but if you say were screwed because the man who scored their winning penalty should have been off for trying to surf of McAteer's back and after scoring, Powell should have been sent off, then you're fucking clueless.

Also i want West Ham to win simply so Palace can't hold onto Johnson, Gray and Routledge. Well, the first and latter anyways.

Must have been one hell of an interesting match for the Palace fans.

[Guest OnlyOneKeano]

Im hoping west ham go up , or they stay down and Spurs face them in the cup . Palace deserve to go up from what Dowie has done , west ham had a good team already and shouldve got automatic promotion

[Jook]

Palace are up!
