Ecstatic Pompey fan here! 😀
Amazed Sheff U fan here.
Couldn't have faced another play off tbh.
by the weekend hopefully, knew I should have bet against them winning the title. Congrats the Brighton though and Chris H doing a great job.
lincoln nearly over the finish line. last 2 games theyve been behind in last couple of minutes and scored two [i]very[/i] late goals to win both matches. yesterdays goals were 89th and 90+3 i think in a game where they played sh1t and never looked like scoring. without those 6 points itd be a bit squeaky bum time, tranmere must be gutted 😀
Brighton supporter here and pretty bloody chuffed.
Well done Brighton. My third team really (after Reading, my home town club and Newcastle - my Grandad's team and he used to be a fan and take me in the 70's and early 80's; my Dad's from Worthing but he was never really a fan although my uncle was/is, so they come third after the Toon)
It's a bit odd therefore that my 3 teams are now 3,2,1 in the Championship and all rivals!!
I can't see Newcastle muffing it completely and if they do i think Huddersfield would be the ones to take advantage, but we've managed to (Norwich excepted) find a means of getting good results from not great performances including beating two of our rivals (Weds and Dirty Leeds) recently, and our last three games could conceivably be worth 9 points yet.
But i suspect it'll be playoffs. I've been to every one we've made and left disappointed. I'm not going this year, whatever.......
STFC follower here will be waving at CaptJon on the way down
OUFC fan here. ^^^ lol at STFC 😀
Well done to Brighton, Pompey and The Blades. Must say that Wilder has done an excellent job and you look well equiped to compete in the champsionship.
Dropped out of playoffs 🙁 now need the dog botherers and/or wendies to do us a favour AND to win all our remaining games. Tall order I think . Oh well there's always next season, but tbh if you'd told me las August that the lowest we could finish was seventh I'd have bitten your hands off
Fingers crossed Cellino will do one this summer as promised
hibees!
I think that my team were [u]first[/u] to be promoted at the Amex stadium......
25th april 2015 with a two nil win
Not yet.currently in play off place (Reading), we'll see how that goes!
well done to the other clubs promoted though...even Pompey!
Quite the opposite
Swansea boy coming to terms with inevitable relegation
Dropped out of playoffs
But Fulham do look to have a trickier run-in.
Although on present form, we wouldn't make it through the play-offs anyway. Thoroughly spoiled my day out with my family did yesterday's combination of results.
Not just present form 😉 playoffs have never been good for us
Watching Reading's progress too - fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed Cellino will do one this summer as promised
+1 for this
BUT
3 wins and it is the play offs for us as Fulham and Wednesday play each other so cant both get max points.
In other news , Pigs are flying , so am not holding much hope 🙄
M.O.T
Rotherham fan here so opposite end of the table.
playoffs have never been good for us
Yeah - let's forget what happened 30 years ago - play-offs and FA Cup semi...
😥
MOT
Yes my team was promoted from League 2 a week before yours! Haven't visited Fratton Park yet but depending on the date of the fixture I might next season.
As a brighton supporter, Pompey away has always been an "experience". I love going to fratton park, just a shame its full of Pompey 🙂
Derby should have been contenders again - but we bottled it - again!
As per Sadexpunk above. Genuinely happy Imp here, not there yet but nearly.
Brighton fan ... and very chuffed
Did you all them Brighton fans celebrating beating 2013 F.A cup champions Wigan.
Fellow Pompey fan, happy days! Its felt like a bit of a slog. ....PUP
All these Skates celebrating being back in league 1. Lolz.
Newcastle but they're making hard work of it........
Brighton Fan.... Hungover. Still.
Should have been play-off contenders but now relegation is more likely, hopefully good old Harry Redknapp is gonna save us.
A warm welcome to the Seagulls to the big time.
Looking forward to a proper south coast derby in your top class stadium. Been a long time since that amazing day at the Theatre of Trees.
I am surprised that the away fans could even see the pitch at the theatre of trees! It was miles away!
That's true. Jose Fonte had to run about 50 yards from the goal line to jump into the crowd to celebrate that last minute winner. And I smashed up my knee cap on the weird seats.
Best facilities in English football then.
How many other clubs had a hammer net, sand pit and steeplechase hurdles?
Yep, hereford fc fan here.
And people who'd just turned up for their Saturday afternoon gym session with a view of the pitch from the treadmill.
Watching the people work out was often more interesting than the football back then though.
Ha ha. The only time I went was when we ruined your champions party but you boys seemed pretty happy with Poyet that season at least.
That was when it was good. Saying that we did have some good times there under Mickey Adams, Peter Taylor and Mark McGee.
Looking forward to the fixtures coming out and seeing when we play Palace, Saints and Bournemouth
Haha, never heard of the Theatre of Trees before but that sums it up perfectly.
Another Swansea Jack here.
The trapdoor beckons...as does the same slide through the divisions last time we dropped out of the top flight, though I would love to be wrong 😕
I really hope Swansea stay up. I had it in my head that a weekend away to watch Brighton Swansea plus a trip to Afan and Wind Street
Bolton fan. On the brink but I reckon we'll bottle it.
Another Imp, exiled down south. Been a fantastic season, now we just need to get across the line......
Happy Sheffield United fan here. Don't get much chance to see them, what with living in deepest darkest Fife but it's nice to hear their exploits over the wireless. When we can get reception.
Newcastle fan here. They are making hard work of it though. Glad in a way for Chris and Brighton. Always thought he did a good job with the toon and was treated pretty poorly.
Fair play to the blades. Thought we might catch you a few weeks back but we choked as per usual.
You're looking good for 100 points now.
Hats off to Chris Duggan. I'm sure the Brighton fans on here are proper ones but I'm sure you're also going to be frustrated by the difficulty in getting tickets next year when the plastics come out of the woodwork. Where were you when we were shit?

It happens. I know a few people that bought season tickets for our 1st season at the Amex that are Liverpool and spurs supporters. I think for them it was a chance to watch regular footbal don't think they were that bothered about Brighton. Not many of them renewed it beyond the 2nd season there but I'm sure the uptake will be high again next season. Best thing for me though is when my 7 y/o daughter comes home from school and tells me all the boys in her class keep going on about Anthony Knockhaert. Makes me happy to think these kids will grow up supporting Brighton rather than Man U, Chelsea or Arsenal.
My English club Bolton are on course to cock it up. If we were already promoted I'd love to see fleetwood join us.
My Scottish club Hibs won the championship 🙂

I think at birth you should have the town of your birth tattooed under your arm.
Then when you go into SportsDirect and ask for the new Manchester Utd 3rd Kit for use in Europe only on a Thursday though, unless there's a full moon..... the assistant can look under your arm and hand you the team you've been assigned by birthright 😉
I guess upon receipt in triplicate of a full dossier about why you are to be allowed other clubs (eg: three prior generations of supporters; grandad used to manage them, etc.) then a second or even third club could be added to the list.
Because they've won the league 5 times in the last 8 years, have a rich Russian bankrolling them and have everyone that can kick a ball properly from here to Timbuktoo in their squad will not be considered suitable justification.

44 is no age. Scary when you think he's looked after himself all his life.
Bloody hell. I saw that he was in hospital after collapsing. Such a shame.
Here's hoping we can clinch the championship tonight, but seeing as most of our players have been on the piss all week and Norwich have a point to prove after we smashed them 5-0 earlier in the season, I'm not holding out much hope.
Good effort Lincoln! We're up!
Yessssssss
Two games to go, three points and one place outside the playoffs 🙁
mathematically still possible but the fat lady is most definitely warming up
MOT
At this rate Pompey are going to win the league!
seems like there's been a moratorium among the Ch playoff contenders to keep it open till the last day!
Not promotion but looks like Bristol City are pretty much safe now.
Greenock Morton - playoffs guaranteed. So two games to go, then the prospect of 6 games over 4 days or something equally stupid to gain promotion.... not happening though as we are utter muck just now.
Leeds seem to have forgotten which way is forward.
I see Sw•ndon have been relegated.
What a tremendous shame.
😆 😆 😆
I think we are still 1pt short in the north east based on the other results and we play later.
In other news Sunderland and boro look nailed to the bottom of the table
And done, back up where we need to be and time to strengthen the squad in a few areas, I'd expect some big changes.
Not a promotion, but a brill Swans away win yesterday coupled with Palace smashing Hull today means we get another season in the top flight which I'm pretty chuffed about. Jack Army!
Got a little closer today
decent result at the Cottage yesterday, particularly after our last trip there.
Now to do the second bit on Tuesday night.
As above, Reading getting closer
I think it'll be us or Fulham for the prem
Will be something of a tough season if we go up
As usual my boys, Leeds United stuffed it up. Even so it was a great season and refreshing to actually be in with a chance instead of the season being over before Christmas!
In better news, I am top of the STW fantasy league. Does that count? 😀
goal to the good, 25 mins to play...... nails already bitten well down.
C'mon URZZZZZZ!!
Watching too, Fulham starting to come back into the game a bit more.
not going to be an easy watch this.
and I don't even really want to go up.
.... it's Ali and Yann against Fulham at present
Exactly this ^^^^^^.
Nearly went to the game, not sure if I'd prefer to be there or just keeping track through the BBC webby as I am
Yann's an absolute ****ing beast tonight. There were a few, me included, unconvinced by him when he joined but by heck he's won us round.
at least i've got sky.......
I'm not going to the final though. Been 3 times, never been lucky.

Yeah, stay away!
We'll be favourites this time and the big Wembley pitch should suit us
