Championship Playoff

Rekop dog

Anyone watching this?

Reading playing the most disgusting brand of football I think I've ever witnessed. Stam would even make Mourinho look adventurous.

Literally spent most of the half passing it from defensive midfield and around the defense like a team may do if they're protecting a lead in the dying moments of a game.

I'm not sure what the plan is, maybe frustrate the living daylights out of the opposition and go for it on the last 20. Commentator said they lost a recent game against Leeds with 78% possession, not surprised based on this.

Izzy Brown missed an absolute sitter early enough first half.

Big money game

Absolutely appalling game of ball. Reading were passing it around the back as if they had a lead to protect from the kick off.

Rekop dog

Probably wise they took Van Der Berg off, was doing his utmost to get sent off.

Osmosis Jones

Could easily see this going to penalties, neither team looks like scoring.

Wrongway1985

Game was looking very lively the first 25 mins it hasn't been on that page since and its rather dull, Huddersfield the better side. 10 or so mins to go hope these two sides eventually can squeeze out some excitement

The dog is howling to be fed here but this game is just so gripping

If this goes to ET the ISPCA will be after me

Mr.Crinklewood

Feed the dog or he will roar, feed the dog, or, he will, roar.

Think he wants to go out.

We might get some of this from young Kelly now

No wonder yer man off Star Trek is bald

Osmosis Jones

Wells scuffed that effort and then goes down holding his leg, as if to pretend an injury is the reason for making a mess of that chance.

The Backwards Man

Will Schindler be on the list of penalty takers?

I know, I know

Rekop dog

Izzy Brown?

Why yes he is

Guy:Incognito

That last peno was crap. A back pass

The Backwards Man

Kelly would have scored that one from the halfway line too

Guy:Incognito

3 - 3 . 1 left each.

Guy:Incognito

I hope Huddersfield win and Patrick Stewart strips to his cacks and runs around the pitch.

Score this and they are up

Guy:Incognito

Huddersfield promoted

Rekop dog

Reading deserved that for the most cowardly approach to a final ever.

Osmosis Jones

Delighted for Huddersfield and Ward, hopefully he can stay there on loan for another year!

ricero

Delighted for huddersfield. Love to see new clubs in the premeir league

Kerrydude1981

When was the last time Huddersfield were in the top flight?

Harry Palmr

That's brilliant - if Reading had gone up it would have been an insult to football.

Klopp v Wagner!

Yes. Yes he was.

Rekop dog

I mean they're coming straight back down next season but nice for the fans to experience top flight football.

Schindler is finally known for something other than being Knut Kircher's b*tch.

If they cant get Ward/Brown/Mooy to return they are fooked.

Hammer Archer

Christ the Huddersfield chairman looked about to collapse after that.

Did he not say during the week he wants a permanent more, or just to stay on loan?

Shouldn't you give them a chance in the transfer market first?! Relegation in the PL is extremely hard to call in May. Everyone has money, it just depends how loose with the cash their owner will be.

Huddersfield have shown they can find decent talent on a budget. Schindler from 1860 was a good signing. Löwe from Kaiserslautern...They even picked up Hefele from Dresden on a free and he has been a regular in the squad for the past few months...German 3.liga to the PL in 12 months is crazy.

Wagner will have willing ally in Klopp so I can see a few loans and maybe a sale or two obviously Danny Ward will be first name in that regard.

Marko Grujic another I'd say.

I feel they'll be like Middlesbrough. They battened down the hatches for the last while, didn't try to win games, finished with a -2 goal difference and didn't try to win a game in the playoff.

Pragmatic in one way, but being that cautious will lead to a season as pointless as Middlesbroughs.

Watch now as they are comfortable mid table next year.

There's enough pretty poor sides still in the Premier league which means relegation isn't forgone conclusion (admittedly they will probably be most people's favourites to go straight back down) Palace, Swansea, Watford, Bournemouth, Burnley off the top of my head are all teams who'll be in the dog fight again next season.

True, I just feel they'll be too cautious to avoid defeat and so many results will go against them.

As an aside, will John Smith's be allowed sponsor the stadium? Isn't there something against alcohol advertising in there?

4/7 to go down next season
