Championship run-in tightest in years

Chucky the tree

I dont think the championship will be a huge matter for brum. I'd expect PReston to win that one.

Yeah thats the way it would be, practically every time we've played Derby in the past two seasons the game has been exciting, so it'd be a good fixture from a neutral pov anyway.

That said, I'd fancy us to take Wolves again...

Howaya Mrjoesoap, thought you had been absent on the boards of late but I see you have better things to do atm.

Wolves would be handy we have beaten them twice this season, however we owe derby as they were lucky twice already this year.

We have to get there first though, Bring on Southend on Sunday.



also if results go our way, Good luck to Stoke.

Take that as meaning bye bye stoke ? . Speaking to Sheep Romancers (Derby) and Dingies (Wolves) fans in work today they are hoping we don't get in playoffs as they don't want to play us in the playoffs. They also don't want to play Southampton. Roll on Sunday - Pub open at 6.30am - depart for London at 8am.

6 Hours till wakey wakey time. Can't sleep. Spent the day watching re-runs of happy days of been a stoke fan - trust me their ain't too many. Tomorrow is going to be immense - Good Luck to all clubs and supporters involved. Hopefully someone will slip up though

Am hoping Stoke actually make the playoffs. Team who havent been too close to making it, this is a massive chance for your team. However, I do think Southampton will win the playoffs, if they make it in. Today is a great day for supporting an already relegated club:o . Can watch all the drama without the stroke-inducing heart attacks

Well Its the last day of the season Stoke & Wolves have started poorly both 1-0 down.

COME ON SAINTS

homerjay2005

preston, chasing a playoff place are giving birmingham a right game, should be 2-0 up, but still 0-0, which as it stands, with sunderland 2-0 up after 6 mins (stokes and murphy), means that sunderland are champions.

long way to go yet

Bravo Roy Keane, incredible turnaround, and a well deserved trophy.
A league title in his first season says it all really.

Fair play to Keane & Sunderland AFC.
what a great job Keane has done.
how many points did they have when Keane took off?

oh & Sunderland have won quite a few fans this year.

Fair Play Sunderland and Keane.

It's normal if a team is playing away not to get the trophy. Happened to us when we went to Sunderland and won the league there.

watman

Just back from London , not the result we needed , Martin hit the post , Fuller had a shot cleared off the line , Higginbottom's goal ruled out for offside , Dom Matteo managed to miss from bout a yard and a half , just wasn't to be .

Best of Luck to Southampton. I reckon ye will win promotion.

They've got a big fan in me. I bet on Sunderland to win the title at 14/1 each way in September when they were last in the league and rumour were going around that Keane was taking over. I put another bet in when the odds went to 22/1, again each way. I'll be donating a grand to the guide dogs this week

Not in the last game of the season?

I can see no good reason for the trophy to be witheld if there are no games left to play

zAbbo

Everyones second favourite team now.

Yes not in the last game of the season "due to safety reasons", we won the league at the Stadium of Light and had to get the trophy presented at City Hall, Norwich because there was no league games left to play at home.

MisterAnarchy

Good to see Sunderland up.
Pity Derby didnt join them automatically as they are a better side than Birmingham who will go straight back down.
Every time I have seen them this season they have been very unimpressive.

Not mine either. I despise all these bandwagon jumpers! :mad:

PHB

I don't know if they'd be my second favorite team, behind United obivously and Brighton (who I have a soft spot for)
But I love Keano, so I will support them in matches against most premiership opposition.

Not mine either, I still haven't forgiven them for the 1973 cup final.

I don't see why they should be everyone's second favourite team just because they've a strong Irish connection. Plenty of clubs have had that over the years and I didn't have any particular affection for them either at the time, so this is one bandwagon I won't be jumping on. In addition, I'm not a Keane fan either.
