Congratulations goes out to Blackpool, back in league one at the first attempt, winning 2-1 at Wembley against Exeter City. It's just a shame that Blackpool's support at the game was low, but understandable due to those that own the club!

Yep, it's a difficult spot to be in as a footy fan. You want to root for the team's success because the fans have gone through a lot. But you also don't want a seedy owner like the Oystens to be successful. I know Wolves went through the same type of situation in the 80s, but it's hard for me to imagine how it would feel if it happened now.

Match in Italy, do not sure if any of you have access, but it is Francesco Totti's final day in a Roma jersey. However, they are down 0-1 early to Genoa. Thanks to a goal by a 16 year old, Pietro Pellegri. Made his debut in March when he was still 15. Fitting as Totti made his debut as a 16 year old IIRC.

Also of note, Pellegri was born in 2001. The year that Totti won his only Scudetto

Former Man City man, Edin Dzeko ties it back up for Roma. 1-1. Will Totti have to rescue Roma one last time today?

[MichiganWolf]

De Rossi, another native son of Rome, puts Roma up. Hope Totti gets a clear shot at a goal

[MichiganWolf]

Roma back four fall asleep and fail to get to a cross, which Genoa put away. 2-2

[MichiganWolf]

Perrotti scores just before stoppage time. Roma secure a UCL group stage place and the King of Rome walks away from the Stadio Olimpico a winner one last time

Yes well done to the Lashers. And I think their achievement of going straight back up this season is impressive because of whats going on there behind the scenes. They also have an amazing record in the play offs, I think they have won more play off finals than any other team!

I'm glad so many of the Blackpool followers stuck to what they believe in, boycotting games, it would have been tempting to go to Wembley for the play-off final though.

I think it was their fifth play-off victory, more than any other side.
