Playoffs

[L/H White]

no surprises with that score last night, 22 points gap between the two sides, time to just send the top 3 up?

Try telling Oxford that

[gonzo]

Yeah let's take all that drama and scramble for the play offs away and just have it a closed shop for clubs with parachute payments.

Or reduce the parachute payments. 

As Sharon discussed with mps.

I knew Sheff U had a poor play off record, but I didn't realise how bad.

9 play offs, lost in all 9.

Been in 4 play off finals, haven't even scored 😀.

It puts in perspective how overrated getting into the play offs is, as if its virtually a ticket to promotion.

Well Burnley are probably quite happy to go up & down every season for the foreseeable and make a decent profit whilst they're at it.

Apparently 6-0 is a play off record in terms of goal difference over two legs

[gonzo]

I didn't know until the other day that if a Club goes back up before parachute payments are finished the remaining money gets split back amongst the Premier league teams.

Surely there's a shout for it to be spread across the pyramid.

Completely agree. It’s money that is budgeted to go out of the Prem every season, it’s upside to any club that receives it in the event the team goes back up. Split it between the 72 clubs and give them a nice little boost, they need it more than the Prem clubs!

Good lord, someone with a playoff record worse than ours 😄

Only tuned in a couple of minutes before the goal. This is how out of touch I am - I thought "How the fuck is Jude Bellingham playing for Sunderland?!?" Had to google it 😁

Limbs!

[ianofcleveleys]

What a finish that was. Limbs indeed!

[Johnnyrotten]

Great drama at the end but the better team over 2 legs lost, I reckon Sheff Utd will be pleased about who their opponents will be.

Lampard has got Coventry playing some great stuff.

L/H White is becoming the Cheese of the football section on WWays (if he hadn't already). Contrarian just for the sake of it.

Europa League, Conference League and the Play Offs are going nowhere. Like Liverpools quadruple ambitions.

Burnley would have been absolutely fucked had they not gone up

[Stig]

Stockport behind. Hopefully get rid of one of the southern teams for next season

[gonzo]

Hitting home tonight

What a fucking shitshow we arent playing here.

Did the double over Orient. 

Lost twice to Stockport. 

An inconsistent shitshow.

They both look better than us. We’d have caved in already looking at the intensity of this game.

[Duck Egg]

Pisses me off seeing a tinpot outfit like Stockport doing better than us. If they miss out this year but hang onto Challinor, they'll probably go up automatically next season.
