Football League

Bolton are back to the Championship after just one years.

Went to watch Colchester today. They were in the playoffs until the 75th minute when Carlisle scored a winner against Exeter. So close, but not close enough :pensive:

So you brought bad luck. Remember the F.A. Cup final :bellerin: :hipster:

Yawn. Birmingham take the lead.
Newcastle take the lead. They are top now.
Forest score! Blackburn are down now.
Itā€™s gonna be such a great second half at the bottom :smiley:

They will all win and Blackburn will go down imo

Forest make it 2-0 and Brentford score. Blackburn are pretty fucked now.
2-0 Newcastle.
Brighton score thanks to a penalty. They overtake Newcastle atm.
3-0 Forest!

If Bristol score Birmingham are relegated instead!

Birmingham relegated would be poetic justice for sacking Rowett when they were 7th in December

Heartbreak for Brighton conceding a goal in the final minutes but at least they have reached the premiership at least. Fancy Fulham to come back up

How the fuck did Newcastle win the title? :sweat_smile: Quite a bottle job from Brighton in the end. Blackburn continue to drop down the Leagues. Really are a club thatā€™s going nowhere.

Bradford-Millwall is the final in the League One playoffs.

Brighton bottled the Title but does it really matter much ?

Nah, theyā€™ll probably be a bit disappointed - especially all those people who have hundreds of ā€œchampionsā€ scarves to sell :grin: But winning the division is just the icing on the cake really. Iā€™ve heard it being referred to as ā€œheartbreakā€ but I think that would be more apt if on the last day they missed out on promotion altogether, which they havenā€™t. If I was a Brighton fan Iā€™d still be feeling ecstatic.

Pretty sure you get a trophy for runners up aswell.

No one really celebrates it though lol

I remember when Bolton and Blackburn used to be two of our toughest fixtures in the Premier League. Now they are rotting in the bottom of english football.
