May 14, 20196 yr It didn't occur thankfully, alotnof the villa fans were quite drunk by the look of the celebrations. Well done Aaron Villa getting into the play off final for the second year in a row after winning on penalties 2-4!
May 14, 20196 yr Author I do wonder if it will be second time lucky for Villa. Shame to see John Terry celebrating though.... But you can't have it all in football.
May 15, 20196 yr Wtf Derby edit: perhaps to soon but this game is a little mental. Edited May 15, 20196 yr by Harve
May 15, 20196 yr Yeah Fulham were 3rd last season but in the past 20 years for example it has only happened 9 times so the omens are not so good for Leeds. Still after what happened earlier in the season regarding the spying Leeds Vs Derby should be a really interesting match. And in the end the omens weren't good for Leeds. It's Aston Villa or Derby now, it would be a crazy achievement for Frank Lampard to get Derby promoted in his first season if Derby win.
May 15, 20196 yr It wouldn't really they got to the playoffs last season and got put out in the semi final!
May 15, 20196 yr Author Derby have become the first team to lose the first leg of a Championship play-off semi-final at home and go on to reach the final. Just crazy that game. I wonder if Leeds will be looking for a new manager if Bielsa decides to go.
May 15, 20196 yr If Derby do come up they will be battling to beat their points tally from the last time they were in the league. All of their best players are on loan.
May 16, 20196 yr Author Lincoln City's Danny Cowley and former Brighton boss Chris Hughton are among the names being considered by West Bromwich Albion as their next manager. The Baggies' elimination from the Championship play-offs by Aston Villa on Tuesday has denied them a swift return to the Premier League.
May 16, 20196 yr If Derby do come up they will be battling to beat their points tally from the last time they were in the league. All of their best players are on loan. They are suspect defensively but they are a lot better - Jack marriot has hugely impressed me both at Peterborough over the last few years and he has edged his way into Derbys team this season, a natural goalscorer. I think a lot of the loanees should demand a move as the bigger clubs hold too many players like this!
May 18, 20196 yr If Derby do come up they will be battling to beat their points tally from the last time they were in the league. All of their best players are on loan. I'm still not sure if Derby clinching promotion after a good-but-not-dominant season is the best idea. I'm personally still scarred by 2007/8. Edited May 18, 20196 yr by Harve
May 18, 20196 yr I'm still not sure if Derby clinching promotion after a good-but-not-dominant season is the best idea. I'm personally still scarred by 2007/8. I can't see anyway they don't get schooled. I watched that first game against Leeds and they were terrible, Tactically they are a bit of mess. Of course they could sign some worldies but usually when teams come up, the spine of the team is what keeps them there. I don't see that with Derby. Could be wrong of course!
May 21, 20196 yr Author So on Monday, it is the play-off between Aston Villa and Derby County Who do you think will win? Aston Villa were last in the Premier League in the 2015/16 season. Derby County were last in the Premier League in the 2007/08 season.
May 23, 20196 yr Author A winding-up petition against Bolton Wanderers over unpaid taxes has been suspended by the High Court after the club went into administration. The Championship side still owe more than £1m to HM Revenue and Customs.
May 28, 20196 yr Author Leeds United have confirmed that Marcelo Bielsa will be in charge of the club for next season.
