Leeds v derby

[MidsMagpie]

It's just to make money isn't it. It's ironical hypothetically that the team finishing 3rd being pipped on goal difference in the last game by the 2nd and 1st, promoted, could lose in the play offs and the 6th team 20 points adrift at the end promoted by fortunately winning the play offs.

Where's the justice in that.

I totally agree its not fair at all, as always its money making rubbish for the football league. Of course we were stiched up by the play offs back in 1990 as well finish 3rd 6 pts clear and the 6th placed team go up, Got to feel sorry for Leeds and West Brom finish well clear of the vile and derby yet those 2 are in the final.Sadly we are stuck with them as they make for excitement tell that to the side who finish 3rd miles ahead of the other sides.

I agree it´s a bit unfair (and very much so on Leeds and WBA this year) because the third best team in the league is not rewarded for it. On the flip side it gives many more teams something to play for come the end of the season, both at the top and bottom of the table, and makes the whole league more exciting as a result.

Yeah-this, basically.

I suppose you could add that every team goes into the season knowing what they're getting into. It certainly gives a lot more teams something to play for towards the end of the season and gives a lot more fans hope...and football is as much about hope as it is anything else.

It's pathetic. The football authorities have sold their souls to Sky and Wembley Stadium, and one of the 5/6 teams will get promoted. It would be a lot fairer if the 18/19/20 of the Premiership would play a mini-league against the top three of the Championship, with the top three obviously in the premiership for the following season. Will not happen, as Sky want the excitement.

Notice you lads and lassies love our Rondon as much as your Newcastle Browns, my favourite tipple. That rather large feller of yours had better move quickly before that lot down the road from us get him, as we don't want to repeat our past favour of giving them another Bull.

We will miss your brilliant Dwight Gayle next season, but sincerely hope he'll have a great season with you and possibly score hat-tricks against the Vile-WBA supporters still remember their mocking of your supporters at Vile Park during Shearers season, the classless and undignified idiots.

Happy summer to you all.
