West Ham back in the Top Flight ?

[Alfred]

Not much sleep last night listening to the Radio via the Internet here in Australia as the mighty Hammers beat Ipswich Town in the play offs.

 

Can they go 1 better than last years fuck up against Crystal Palace and regain there rightfull place back in the Premier League ?.

 

Come on you Irons

 

Cheers

Surely you mean Preston .............................

[TabMule]

That's debatable Tom. I'm going tonight so I hope it's not a wasted journey.

[CheshireTom]

Tab,

 

Best of luck, mate. I'm being entirely selfish wanting teams from the north-west in the top flight and it would be nice to see a Preston v Wigan Premiership derby!

As a Norwich City fan,even after last Sundays humiliation, ,I was cheered up a little by the Hammers victory.At least we've got the prospect of the East Anglian derby to look forward to next season!!

does anyone know if the play-offs are on Thai tv,as I arrive in LOS on the day of the Championship play-off final and wouldn't mind seeing it!!

Cheers

Does it really matter who goes up because from what I have seen there isn't a chance of any of the likely promoted sides staying in the Premier League!

Yep, you need a foreigner with a bottomless amount of cash to stay in the English top football hierachy. The English Premier, is becoming as interesting as the Scotish. A choice of 2 or 3 clubs winning the championship every year.

 

Come on the Hammers! Brentford got turned over and I had to stand in the rain and freezing wind to witness it, but hey, that's lower division football. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Brentford need a million by September to survive. It's a git isn't it ?

Works out about a grand for everyone who turned up monday for the game against Wednesday. O.K Mr Glazier, where are you ?

[growler]

Money is destroying the competitive element in football. Sunderland, Wigan and the playoff winners will face a huge task to survive next season.

[carlsberg]

Got a soft spot for West Ham , maybe its the 6 points we normally get from them :)

I still think Charlton has alot to be proud of and I hope we dont sell the bloody lot . No one did care about Chelsea as Bates was the anti christ . Liverpool held strong and good luck to em in the Champs Final , And Fulham had the choice between a bloke who couldnt get a UK Passport and Jimmy Hill !

 

Funny Old Game

This was West Hams problem last year thinking they had a right to go up. They never turned up for the final and lost to a better team.

 

Seems from this they expect their place to be given to them again !

There is always a chance. This year alone we saw a team (Southampton) drop from the EPL after being there for the past 27 years and be replaced by a team (West Brom) that was dead last at Christmas.... And we saw another team (Everton) who was expected to be amoung the group who would fight to stay up in the EPL finish 4th and take what might end up being the final spot in next years Champion's League away from the team (Liverpool) who could end up with the Cup....

 

There is always a chance, that's why they play the game

West Ham advancing to the Premiership means some spirited London Derbies.
