Championship Discussion: Season 2012-13

[on the rails]

F..kin French Twat!!! Soft penalty in the first place but an even softer shot, misses the follow-up and 20 seconds later they go down and score!!! Second time in our last 2 play off semis a frenchman has f..ked Leicester with a poor penalty!!!

Gutted, absolutely gutted!!! Ripped my shirt in disgust!

Penalty was soft but seen them given plenty of times.
Poorly taken penalty but Alumnia still had to make 2 saves.
WTF was Schmeichel doing coming off his line like that though?
Soccer can really be painful sometimes

Shut up sheep shagger! There will be no mention of the playoffs at the Taj Saturday!

Really didn't want Watfordissimo to get through.
Whislt they haven't broken any rules they have exploited a loop hole that allows them to have 16 loanees, 9 of which are Udinese players.

And if they get rewarded by an EPL berth what kind of signal does that send to every other Championship side, or even to other foreign sides. What is to stop say Barcelona from buying a championship club, and playing their reserve / rotation squad ?

Sorry OTR, I know you aren't a fan, but at this point I would prefer Ollie's Palace outfit to make it through. The alternative would be Poyet's ugly football, or Watfords Azzuri No wonder the English Football is ******.

Palace win 2-0 to make it through to the final.
Manchester United's on loan player Wilifried Zaha scored both goals.

Don't get me wrong, I love Aussie Rules football (I'm no sport snob), but to me that footage just goes to show how Association Football is the greatest game in the world...

I agree JTC - as much as I hate Holloway I would rather see Palace go up!

I would love to see Palace go up and am reasonably confident we can beat Watford and it's a shame we have to do it again without Glen Murray. Although in reality in would probably be for only one year as we usually have a short stay in the EPL. Pretty chuffed at the moment seeing that a couple of years ago we were in administration and looking like we would have to fold. GO EAGLES!!!!!!!

Brighton has had Crystal Palace's measure in recent times including a 3-0 win in March so it was a great effort by Palace to turn the tables on them in a high-stakes match.

Yes and so had Watford over us for the previous 4 or 5 games but for 30 seconds of madness and another f#$kin Frenchman f#$kin us over with a poor penalty we would have ended that losing streak and been at Wembley playing Palace (on my birthday too)!!!

P.S. I will get over it - BUT not for a while!

Love your work OTR and love your passion
Maybe next year mate.
Tough 3 coming down though so expect a more competitive season than this year. Might have missed your big chance? Who knows!

They said that this season and looked what happened! Wolves relegated, Blackburn and Bolton struggled in the main for most of the season and in the end other than a late charge by Bolton half due to Leicesters poor form they never looked like even challenging for the playoff spots let alone automatic promotion spots.

Gus Poyet has been suspended by Brighton after comments he made to the team about his future at the club following their defeat in the PO semi final

He has been told to stay away from the ground by the club.

[on the rails]

Crystal Palace Promoted to the EPL. A 1-0 win over Udinese Reserves thanks to a Kevin Phillips penalty in the 105th minute at the end of first period of extra time.

[Jim05]

Was impressed with Zaha once again, reckon we will leave him at Palace on loan though, cant see him breaking in to our side just yet

[RoosterMarty]

Good to see Palace get up. Good idea to leava Zaha on loan now that he will be getting EPL experience.
