Sutekh I see the Championship play off final has been moved again to the Saturday. Why do they keep swapping it round with the League 2 final?


Maybe there's something going on this summer?


Well they certainly don't give a **** about that at the other end of the summer with a ridiculous 4th August start date for the new season.

When Iceland go all the way to the final and win it we are going to have a very tired Bod at the start of the season.

How many Football League players do you think FIFA are expecting to get to the final?

It's not that, it's just generally the amount of time players involved in the finals get for recovery and a break away from it all before getting back into pre-season training.

I'm sure their clubs will make allowances for that and give them an extra week or so off if they come back at the end of the group stage.

There were 12 Championship players at the 2014 World Cup, all of them had gone home by the Quarter Finals. It seems silly for the EFL to have to factor such a small group of players for the entire league.

That is pretty poor showing really. Although having never won a play-off game, it could be understandable.

That is shocking. We took that to Stevenage in the FA Cup didn't we?

I'm still waiting for the Cottagers "Total Football" to come to life.
Anyone seen it from the "Best team in the league"?

So, the Shrews are through to the final. I was semi-hoping Charlton would go up so we'd have another decent London away day, but I'm fully behind Shrewsbury now. God forbid having to travel to Scunthorpe or Rotherham next year.

Dangerous Dave Edwards seems more arsed about their success than he did playing for us this season.

You could say the same about Karacan and his tweets about Reading...

If the Shrews go up I wouldn't be surprised to see Dangerous Dave move there.
