Dull game between two impotent sides. 

Spending £70+ million only to end up worse than either of these two takes a special level of ineptitude.

This is dismal, neither of these deserve to go up on this showing and whoever does is coming straight down again.

It is pretty clear we have better players than either of these sides, we just need one if their managers ...

Utterly dismal...

In fact it's that dismal, that I hope someone's career is defined by dreadful failure in the penalty shoot-out.Sorry.

You wouldn't have made a case for either of these being 6/7 spots ahead of us, and in this ,12 months ago.However dreadful we were getting relegated

That Obita penalty was possibly the worst penalty I've ever seen.

Shit. Didn't want Huddersfield to win that for three reasons - finishing fifth, 4 points behind Reading but still going up, throwing the Blues game which kept them up, and using those stupid fucking plastic happy clappy things. They play some neat football but just don't score enough goals so they'll be straight back down.

They were rubbish today, but good to see them back in the top flight.

On that showing they'll need about nine new guaranteed first teamers for next season though.
