We sent them down. With the last kick of the game.

Mission accomplished, Summ.

Actually Wolves sent them down by having more goals scored.

[Summers]

WAAAAHEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We're NINTH?! What the hell? Amazing end of the season for us.

And onto the juicy bits... BYE BYE BLUES! I'm so giddy with excitement. I was shaking the whole 90 minutes with excitement and nerves today.

I feel for Blackpool. Not keen on Holloway, but I like the city so I wanted them to stay up.

[Dan]

Hardly too naive, they played a good attacking brand of football with a team of lower league players.

Actually, no.

Sort of got used to Birmingham being a Premiership team, will be odd seeing their name back in the Championship now. Will be even more odd seeing them playing in Europe. ¬_¬

[Summers]

That wont last long. Out at the first hurdle.

Wolves had more goals scored so Pav's goal was irrelevant.

[Cadj]

Blackpool in Europa via fair play apparently

[Summers]

Look at the table.. they got relegated on points. Not on goal difference. Yes they would have gone down anyway - but they're relegated due to their points total.

Before Pavy's goal, they would've both had 40 points, with -21 goal difference.

Wolves have scored 46, Brum scored 37

[Magus978]

Yeah Cadj, thanks to Gera's sending off in the Fulham game, Blackpool have clinched a Europa League place. This means two Championship squads will be playing Europa League football, Birmingham via the Carling Cup spot, and now Blackpool.

Source?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Birmingham got 37 goals in 38 games?! Ouch.

So Europa League next season will showcase Tottenham, Stoke, Blackpool and....Birmingham

[Summers]

I'm beyond aware of the goal difference stats. That doesn't change the fact that they are down on points and not goal difference.

[HailtotheYo]

That is fantastic.

At least two of them to do better than Totty in Europe

[therockbox]

What is this 'Totty' bullshit?

[Summers]

I reckon Stoke will do alright. Their style of football will be too much for some teams.

[Sam]

They were pretty negative throughout the season so I'm not surprised. And I feel Blackpool were naive because if they hadn't always attacked non stop they would haven't had conceded as many late goals as they did. But they were great fun to watch. Would have rather seen Blackburn go in their place.

[Lineker]

Ugh, HttC is dreadful of all sorts.

Awesome that Blackpool are in Europe. But 46 league games + FA/Carling cup AND the Europa League? Jesus they'll be dead by Christmas.

[Matt]

Fuck Wigan and fuck scum, I needed you to score 5 goals today to get 50 home goals, I'm not even bothered about Blackpool staying up but you could have at least scored a 5th and won me some money while you were at it. And yeah, fuck Wigan because they're a shit club and I'm sick of them existing.
