I'd have liked to see Brentford come up too, but congrats to Fulham.

 

I cannot see how Fulham do not go straight back down again. Sure fire relegation certs for me.

Isn't that what most people thought about Sheffield Utd? :P

Fulham will have the money to invest, hoepfully on defenders this time around. They'll certainly have to play better than they did tonight but there's still a lot of mediocre teams in the Premier League. Are they that much worse than Brighton, Aston Villa, Southampton, Everton even?

 

Gutted Brentford didn't go up as they're my championship club but well done to Fulham and Scott Parker he's done an amazing job this year. It's def not the same Fulham as came up last time though they have a more solidity and steeliness to their play if anyone watched their games this year. The tactics in the final there were an example of that, spot on to counter the Benrahma threat.

 

If lamps went to Chelsea after losing the playoff last season surely Parker is in line for a top 6 job now?!

The season starts in 5 weeks. I just can't see it myself, they are already at a negative advantage.

They're worse than all those teams currently. All those teams are mid-table and Villa aside, I don't think any will be in a deep relegation battle come the end of the season.

With teams like Fulham, West Brom, Norwich it feels like getting promotion just for the sake of it, just because they happened to be in the top 2 or in the play offs at the end of the season only for them to get relegated back not too long after. It must be hard to get your head around going up and down so frequently, I remember Birmingham used to be like this as well years ago until their most recent relegation kept them in the EFL leagues.

Now Fulham, don't go and spend £100m on players and get relegated.

 

Real shame about Brentford not getting promoted, it may be their best opportunity for a while to get promoted to the Premier League.
