How would saying "Come on Notts Co!" stir any of the Sheffield clubs up, they are clearly not good enough to get promoted. Im an Owls supporter, we expect to get about 38,000 in for the last game of the season(the highest attendance outside the prem this year) better then most prem clubs!and certainly better then either Birmingham or Charlton could manage.

Good luck to Southampton in the Premier League. I was at St. Mary's on Saturday and their fans were some of the best I've ever encountered, I will be looking out for their results.

It was a reposte to your backing Blackpool! And I thought that whchever Sheff team failed to go up automatically I thought I'd back County in the play-offs if they go into them!
I know Wednesday will be brilliantly supported as they were when they went down against Palace 2 years ago. United got 30k too last week. Great support for both teams. Blues fans have stayed away from League games but in Europe we were getting 26k and took 11,000 to Brugge!

I have a funny feeling Birmingham are going to win the Championship play off's, also I wouldn't be surprised if Cardiff turn over West Ham over the 2 legs.

Well done Wednesday!! Immense display and crowd! I wouldn't like to be a Blade now - something iffy about playing Stevenage. They're another small southern club like Crawley who are putting together promotions....
Hoping for a massive performance and big win on Wednesday night at St Andrews.

You are a fucking idiot, mate. You don't know what you're talking about.

You, on the other hand, I quite like. Fair fucks for travelling to Southampton for an away game that must have meant nothing in the scheme of things.

I do think people in Southampton are some of the most genuinely friendly in the country (and I say that as someone who now lives in the north, which is supposed to be friendly but, essentially, is full of nosy bastards).

Well done Blackpool - just about deserved it. Pressure now turns towards Sheffield Utd tomorrow night.

I think if we can sign up some of the loan players that have got us up this season plus add a central midfielder and another good striker(maybe Jordan Rhodes) then there is no reason why we can't challenge for the play offs.

Yeah I agree - so many decent sized teams though! I'm just hoping we keep hold of Hughton and our squad, and without the Europa League and having to play catch up, we could make a go of it again. I'm sure the Wednesday and Charlton fans are looking at Swansea, Norwich and Soton and how momentum works!

Think we'll get some some (surprisingly) good signings, but never gonna get Jordan Rhodes. He'll cost near £5m and will likely go to a prem team if he moves.
