I just hope we don't have some idiots invading the pitch again.

I do - It will meant that we have won.

Late kick off confirmed? Surprised plod let this happen. It'll be carnage.

In fairness they let the 8pm Friday night kick off go ahead this season.

The 4th/5th playoff first leg is the later game on the Saturday. Guessing it would take exceptional circumstances for it to be changed. This isn't it.

The game earlier this season wasn’t a ‘season decider’. (Although it did seem to turn our season into a bit of a tailspin for a while as it turned out!)

The last time we played each other in a knock out match we ended up getting fined £200,000 for our ‘back to the dark ages’ pitch invasion, while their fans smashed up our toilets.

I think given what is riding on these games, it’s possible that they will see it as different to a league match less than half way through the season.

Additionally, a Saturday KO has far more people drinking all day as far less people are at work.

Gotta be honest, time of day isn't normally on my mind when I decide to smash up a bog.

Doe the fact that you are absolutely wankered or not impact on your decision making?

No, if I'm honest.

And surely if WMP and our stewards are on the ball, wouldn't being already sufficiently "wankered" be grounds for refusing admission? As far as I'm aware, they can't get a drink in the ground*. *usual ill-informed ignorance disclaimer applies.

Albion have been bang average at home for some time. Villa Park will be rocking, lets get the game sorted in the first leg.

We are a better side than last year, with a modern manager & none of the other teams are as good as Fulham were.

We got to treat them all with respect & then batter them.

It’s our lot who run on the pitch.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before. Just 2 points:
Leeds not Albion could finish 4th. Unlikely but possible.
We don't know for certain which semi will be A and B. Has anyone seen this officially confirmed?

Yes.

I’m getting married on the 15th, would you bet against me?

I don't think Fulham were all that last year. They just hit form at the right time to get into the play offs and their momentum took them up. I am hopeful it will be the same story with us this year. We are the team that didn't set the league alight all season but who now have confidence and momentum.

I imagine both clubs will go for the minimum 2k allocation for away fans especially if it is the later kick off.

I hope boro get 6th

They haven't lost against Leeds this year and I thibk they've got a better chance of beating them than Derby?

Wouldn't mind facing boro in a final at all

We should beat west brom. But they do have the habit of scoring goals when not playing well

No as I am from Smethwick “or not” is not a state I recognise.

Last night I dreamt I’d been given corporate tickets for the game at the Hawthorns. I was hoping to be able to give you all an insight into what happens in the match but it took me so long to find the right entrance to the right stand and then get to my seat that I woke up when the teams were about to kick off. Sorry.
