Leeds choke and miss out on promotion - again! What a great way for the season to end!!! 😂😂😂 

And this in a nutshell is why I loath some of Boltons fans and why they deserve to rot in League One. What a graceless t***!

So pleased for Oxford; played the game of their lives, much better than Bolton on the day. And from a purely selfish point of view, a fabulously close away game for me again next season - I live 2 miles from their ground! 

I’m so happy! My beloved Rams up, my favourite non league side Bromley up, my local team Oxford seemingly up, Birmingham down, The-Best-Team-In-League-One staying down - perfect! 👌

To be fair to Bolton they've produced some really good football at times this season (IMHO as good as anything in this division) but occasionally they've seemed a tad fragile at times too, and ultimately it means nothing if you don't make it count in the key moments. That 2nd Oxford goal could be huge but if Bolton score next it's still very much game on. Oxford need to keep doing what they have been doing but football messes with your head and there is going to be massive temptation to try and hold onto this and risk inviting Bolton on.

They were powder puff all season though and once you work them out they are stuffed. Oxford are very good at stifling teams like Bolton and Evatt doesn’t ever seem to have a plan B so I fancy them to see this through. The Bolton fans were insufferable during the run in, so arrogant and c*** sure of how good they thought they were so as this stands this is karma. 

Oh this is comedy gold! The self proclaimed best team in League One 2-0 down to little old Oxford - wanky wanky wanky Wanderers!! 😂😂

As a Rams fan living in Oxford I’m loving this! Amazing really, I mean Bolton are the best team in League 1 aren’t they? 😂

Love their misplaced confidence about how quickly they will get out of L1. They seem to think they can spend their way to an immediate return. I hope they A. realise that there is a cap on how much they can spend on wages, transfers and B. How hard a division this is to get out of, regardless of reputation and finances.

Their fans are such arrogant t**** - I'm going to enjoy seeing them flailing around at places like Shrewsbury & Mansfield and I sincerely hope they finish nowhere. 

Apparently the 2000 Norwich fans there today were singing ‘Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, you’re going to Shrewsbury, que sera sera’. 😂😂😂

I’m not going to take delight in the suffering of any set of fans.

They will be hurting, like we were.

 

Sorry but I can’t be that magnanimous having been at PP the day they mocked our misfortune. Karma.

Birmingham are off to League 1 folks! Isn’t karma a bitch?!! 

Best of luck Max, but what a waste of his talent going a perpetually mediocre, permanently mid table club like Bristol City. Every season is the same there; a little bit of hope and a sniff of the top six then…nothing but dead rubber games at the tail end of the season. Shame.

Sat and cried my eyes out in the car on the drive when it was announced the sale of the club had gone through and we were saved. 
 

Was holding back the tears today. Felt so overwhelmed with emotions. 
what a day! 

I really fought hard to hold it all in today, only to go to pieces when we all stood up to acknowledge David Clowes on 55 mins! Love this football club. 🐏

Life is too short when you are in your late 60s. I will, fingers crossed, relish this Saturday. I along with 10s of 1000s Rams fans were spoilt in the 1970s. We haven't had much to celebrate in the last 20 years or so.Embrace it. Pride Park will have 30000 very proud people there this Saturday. If,sorry,when we get promoted I am not ashamed to say I will be blubbing with happiness come 2.30pm. DTID!

I was there at QPR 2 seasons ago when relegation was confirmed and there was a mix of emotions; sorrow but mixed with pride at the fight we’d put up against enormous odds. I’m not ashamed to say I teared up that day. We’ve come a long way in that time; we have a brilliant owner, a manager who, despite my reservations about his style is on the brink of fulfilling the brief given to him, a feeling of togetherness and a club healing after years of chaos and excess. 
If we get it over the line on Saturday I will very definitely be shedding a tear or two. 😢

I absolutely loath the Premier League and in particular the so called ‘big 6’. I would love for them to all just f*** off to a Euro Super League where they play each other 6 times a season for their target audience in Asia and leave the rest of us to enjoy English football as it once was. For a start, all money would be distributed fairly, there would be no ‘Premier League’; just Division’s 1 to 4, the FA Cup become the showpiece event played on the Saturday after the season finishes at 3pm at Wembley (no semi finals at Wembley) with replays. If the ‘big 6’ decided they wanted back in they would all have to start at the bottom of the pyramid and have restrictions on how much they could spend on players/wages. If they didn’t like it they could all f*** off again and play each other a 6 team mini league or something. I couldn’t care less about them or their fans. They have robbed football of its competitiveness and it’s money for too many years. 
As for the latest disgrace around the FA Cup replays I really hope that EFL clubs boycott next seasons competition en masse. A concerted boycott would ruin the FA’s finances and they’d back down in the face of it. Whether clubs have the balls to go for it is a different matter.

Thought I would wait till Monday to post , let the trolling and the negative pushing die down,

It was a game I was nervy about given the importance and our lifelong propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot but warne picked a team he thought would win it including Bradley who let’s be honest was going to cause a bit of a scream up for some fans ,,,, hey presto , shock horror we came out ,showed no nerves and went at it and it felt comfortable apart from the start of the second half where we didn’t seem at it and it’s the kind of point where we lose a goal at 2 up and the jitters kick in but no we got the third eventually and a great day was had by all , especially when I saw the other scores , in the hunt for autos and thumped by 5 at home ,,,,, jeez ,

had a lovely day with my nephew who was waist height to me when I first took him to derby but now its reversed and I’m waist height to him 😂

I thought Thommo in midfield made all the difference but it was very much a good team performance generally. Orient never got a moment to settle when they were on the ball and we won more second balls than I've seen for a long time. Play this way for the next two and we're up, simple as that!

Washington had the goalkeeper infront of him, CBT just an empty net. The pass from Washington wasn't the best but the miss was horrendous.

He should have stroked it across the box, not fizzed it at 90mph. Washington bottled it, like he did the chance he had against Blackpool the other week. 

I was there last night and my god it was a hard watch. The constant Wildsmith to Nelson, Nelson to Wilson followed by the ball being lumped up the line invariably to a Wycombe player made my eyes bleed. A lot of people on here blaming CBT for the early miss but Washington was clean through and should have buried that himself. On the extremely rare occasions where we kept the ball on the deck we cut through them but of course that’s not the Warne way so it was back to lumping it. Not one player looked on it last night just like at Northampton. 
It is just so dispiriting to see us floundering in a match like that at such a crucial stage of the season. 

There's no point relying on nothing clubs like Bristol Rovers at this stage of the season. Bolton won't beat Pompey so we have to go to Wycombe and smash them; this time next week we could be 6 or 7 points clear with 2 to go. Keep the faith. COYR!

By any metric that was a good point away against the top team in this division. We didn’t look outclassed and it took a wonderstrike for them to get level. Yes we played well within ourselves second half and perhaps could have been a bit more attack minded but not many other teams have gone there and taken points recently so I’m happy.

It’s in our hands now. Bolton/Peterboro/Barnsley are going to drop points before the end of the season so keep the faith.

If good Derby turn up - 0-0 or 0-1 Rams

If bad Derby turn up - 2-0 Pompey

But I think the former will show up tonight. COYR.

I'm not that worried about Bolton TBH; they are powderpuff away from home cant see them picking up more than a point from their last 2 away games. I also think they'll get done at home by Pompey. As long as we get something tomorrow night I think we'll keep them at bay. 

Looking forward to this one. I’ve got a lot of time for Pompey, a proper football club with great support. You’ve been by far the most consistent team in the league so deserve promotion. As for the game the result will depend on which version of our team turns up; if we play like we did at Bristol a few weeks back I fancy us to get a point at least. If it’s the one that didn’t turn up last week at Northampton you’ll batter us. Just hope we can get something that helps us consolidate second place. It’s going to be a cracking game.
