:D be honest though, if you paid £40 for a ticket, £20 for travel, £4 a pint x 4, £4.50 for a burger and £3 for a programme then wouldn't you expect to see a much better game - in terms of excitement it (especially the 2nd half) didn't have it.

Not convinced. Thought it was brilliant. Wigan matched Arsenal in every department and forced Arsenal into many of their mistakes. I think the reason I enjoyed it so much is that they reminded me of Reading this season in this game.

Oh, and when did the cost of a match directly correlate to the experience you expect?

Poor TBM, poor!

Whether you get a comp ticket or pay through the nose, eat a burger or not, drink 4 pints or not, it's not going to change the course of the match one iota. They're all your choices - "I've eaten an expensive burger, so I demand high quality entertainment" doesn't really enter the equation.

You should have done - it was a pretty good game.

Swindon promoted to League 1. Charlton promoted to the Championship. Coventry City and Portsmouth relegated to League 1.

Just watched Bolton on match of the day. They've obviously got problems all over the pitch, but if they go down a large chunk of that has got to go to Bogdan.

To say he's appauling is an understatement, watching him flap uselessly at limp balls in his pink jersey is offensive to football. He's exactly the type of ginger that gives us all a bad name.

Stevenage are doing well. They are just in the playoff zone in League One having gone up in two successive years from non-Leauge to where they are now. If they somehow manage to go up again, that is quite some momentum. I remember when they had a lot of the same players in the non-League scene. Could there be a risk of them crashing and burning though?

I would love to them promoted to the Championship. What an amazing achievement for a small club, and in such a short space of time! Graham Westley is a particularly nasty individual, and he's only just hanging on to his job at PNE. It would certainly rub some salt into his wounds for ditching them when his big chance came along. He isn't very well thought of at F'boro either after his time there. A lot of underhand activity went on behind the scenes. In fact he doesn't have many friends in football at all, and he can now add the majority of the playing staff at PNE to that list.

Yes I did think he was being a rather mercenary bastard leaving for PNE just as Boro were doing so well. Well I certainly hope Stevenage continue their good form and I'm sure we'll see them in the Championship somehow soon. I lived up there before and have seen them a number of times. Very good fans, even years ago.

Surely whichever one of the big Sheffield clubs fails to go up with Charlton, will just walk the play offs.....it is their God-given right isn't it? :wink:
