Even though I have always liked Sheffield Wednesday as a club, I really don't way them to be promoted - can you imagine the media bullshit when the victims travel to play at Hillsborough ? The justice for 96 campaign will be wheeled out again, and there will surely be some sort of wreath laying/commeration service/live concert/bingo night to mark the occasion :roll:

Not the Championship play off but the scenes on the pitch between AFC Wimbledon players and their supporters were lovely to watch....players and fans as one celebrating.. No egos just delight from a set of fans who have been to the 9th tier and back..

Was at The Den tonight with a few mates. Average game to be honest but Millwall is definitely still the best atmosphere in any of the London grounds when there is a big game on.

Less than a third the size of the Emirates crowd but many times the noise generated. And even though a sizeable number of those there tonight are not regulars (or in my case not even a fan of the club itself) it's easy to forget how good a crowd can sound when you've spent too much of the last decade at corporate arenas.

Agree with that one totally.....our fans at the Emirates are a disgrace....terrible mix where real fans get lost in the mix
Honestly been there when fuckers are not watching the game but talking about TV programmes....hate the fucking soulless corporate bowl

Millwall, there would have been a riot if they had lost last night.... :D

Got the feeling Sheff Wed will get the win in the final. I see to remember us having a less than glowing record at Hillsborough in their latter Premiership years, can't remember winning there since 93-94 time??

Another 3-0 'accident' awaits!

Been to Hull and have no desire to go back to their two bob town and identikit ground. Hillsborough seems a much better away day

At least Sheffield's a decent night out and we'll be playing at a proper ground, rather than their identikit shithole on the edge of Britain's most depressing city
Fucking cowardly morons. :oops: :roll: :x I hope every one of them caught on camera offering it up to Derby players gets a life ban. Good to see a couple of the Hull players standing up for and shielding their fellow professionals against their own cunty fans. 8)

Have disliked Hull intensely since Lying Phil "Tangoman" Brown was there and I hope they get fucking destroyed by Wednesday. 8)
Nice to see the Hibs and Rangers scum at it too over the weekend. Absolute sub-human trash. :x :cussing: :censored:

Yeah Hull and Burnley both return a year after going down and they'll both be fighting relegation next year. How exciting :cry:

So next season's Prem will have Burnley, Middlesbrough, Hull, Stoke and WBA.

I can only imagine how bad some of the 'Super Sundays' will be.

Desperate, desperate game of football :roll: :oops: I didn't want hull back up so I went back on my previous plan and decided to shout for Wednesday instead, but they were so limited and seemed to play with a keeper 8 defenders and 2 strikers :roll:
Have to say that if I was fat brucie I would have told Snodgrass to pack his packs and f.uck back to Glasgow by now - his petulant reaction at being subbed is disgraceful at the best of times, but to do it today in a game of this importance was unacceptable imo. Wouldn't mind but the c.unt wasn't even playing well :lol: :lol:

Shit club shit fans, but you have to say they were the better side. Wednesday offered fuck all and the experience of their Premier League journeymen showed. Looking forward to giving them another bumholing at their soulless identikit ground towards the end of another groundhog season, to celebrate another top 4 finish :banghead:
