When Saturday came; we lost by two goals to one at home to the boys from Ashton Gate. The electric atmosphere we generated to cheer the Palace team on came to nothing. Nevermind, we'll get 'em back on the second leg - Warnock seems quite confident, as does one other brave fan I talk to who insists on keeping a positive frame of mind. Others don't seem too sure and neither do I. But hang on a mo, all we need to do is beat Brizzle two - nil and then we'll be queing for another five hours to buy tickets for the play-off final at Wembley. It can't be that difficult, can it?
SELHURST PARK - SATURDAY 12:15

Oh yes it was! Last night proved how lucky Brizzle were in having Lee Trundle as a player and Gary Johnson as a manager (no disrespect, Neil, you've done wonders for us since joining up and scooping us off from the relegation zone floor - cheers). Work commitments meant that I only saw the second half of the first half of the game on the telly, which was enough to give me some hope as I watched Ben Watson header in the aggragate equaliser. In the second half, Benny boy was awarded a penalty which was saved by the goalkeeper / goalpost. The game went into extra time where Brizzle scored two more goals and won themselves a May 24th appointment at Wembley. The winner of the Wembley game will be promoted to the Premiership where they will get what's known as a parachute payment of sixty million quid over a three year period. That'll be Hull City then.
As for the rest of us that are left missing out on promotion or those suffering the pain of relegation, here's a song just for you.

Is Lee Trundle the poor man's Matt Le Tissier?
Sorry you didn't make it, Ister. At least you'll see a good touchline altercation between Neil and Iain next year.
I saw a picture of Scary ToiletDowie in the paper today. Had to have an extra hit of ToiletDuck to get over it.
Isti....Never mind there is always a Cadburys Egg . . . X X X
well, ok, then, sugar...(not that i have the faintest idea what y'all are talking about, but you seem to be ok with it all) xoxo
P.s...So does this mean you won't be complaining to ever wait for anything ever again. . lol x x x
Gutted but looking forward to next season. Should be a good one and at least we should see some wins.
We was never ready to go up this year and would of really struggled.
Geoff - Lee Trundle IS the poor mans Matt Le Tissier - never thought of that before but it spot on !
I know nothing whatsoever about footy. Shoes or chocolate are a different story?
Ah the roar of the crowd. I was right there for a minute. I could smell that bloke's armpit.
J.C if it keeps the guys off the streets and playing with the traffic. . .at least we know where they are. . lol x x
Chazza...*switches off the TV and points men towards the traffic*
JC: Nice one. . lol X X
I've not 'done hoofball in decades. Why do you go? It can't be for the skill. Is it just to have a collective moan?
Geoff - I wonder who'll win that altercation? Iain's monstrous calves or Neil's sharp tongue? I think they'll need extra stewards.
RoMo - Dowie is a rare beast. He's the bastard son of Davros and an albino gorilla.
Savvy - I'm resigned to not making the play-offs as there's not much else that can be done about it. Stiff upper lip an' all that...BWAHOOHOO! *sniffle*
Palace Fan - Out of all the teams that made the play-off places I reckon Hull City AFC should get promoted. Brizzle fans are too cocky as is Aidy Boothroyd and yes - you're right - Palace were never ready to play with the big boys in the Premiership next season, not with our players as they are. Warnock will weave a bit more of his magic for us next season hopefully.
C'mon, you Tigers!
Joanne - Well think of it this way; the team that get promoted get access to all the finest shoes and chocolate. And that's just the WAGS.
DH - Poor you. Was he wearing Lynx Africa?
Axe Victim - Aw, Axey - that's not a very positive thing to say. Let me guess...you support Brentford, don't you?
Steady on old bean!!
You gotta love Sav ain'tcha?
Tough luck this season, but then you never really thought you'd make the playoffs early on didya?
Football!
I have to admit if the game stopped tomorrow I'd want it revived. I don't know why- maybe cause I'd miss the world cup final every once in a blue moon, and forget who won, or who played who by the next full moon;-)
No I don't follow any football team. I used to play in me younger days but I've no truck for the modern game...
Fi where are you? You are not camera shy are you? x x
Howesy - Yep, got to be greatful for being an "also-ran" in the play-offs. I really want Hull City AFC to get promoted just so I can read your forthcoming write-up about the season they've had.
MoMad - Ah, so you're a bit of what HMHB call a "Commodores footie fan" - you like to watch it "once, twice, three times a season".
Axe - No truck needed, mate. Just a ball and a couple of jumpers for goalposts.
Don't talk to me about play offs.
Six goes. Six failures......
I'm the Brentford supporter in the band.
Hello LEB, we shall discuss the merits of mid-table mediocrity at the Magic Ship gig, hopefully.
Six goes. Six failures...you must be getting comfortably used to that kind of result by now.
