Well the dust is settling, Clit and Gonzo's lads have been dumped out and at the halfway stage we have

Swansea v Reading Championship Final
Huddersfield v P'boro or MK

I could piss and moan about that cunt Webb all night and all you hear around town is talk of how it's once a pig always a pig and the police getting the result they wanted but Reading took their (few) chances and we didn't play (again) so fair play to the royals and I hope they stuff the jacks.....although head over heart I can't see them stopping Swansea.

Looks like Webb's gone from hero to villain.

"A special thank you to Howard Webb for sending off OC's captain prior to Liverpool's 2nd game thus giving me a chance to close the gap a bit"

Didn't say he was right though, just grasping at anything to help out a generally woeful FF season. As an avid football fan and an impartial in the match in question were we denied 2 valid penalties plus at least a card for their keeper handling outside the area or was I lost in a blue mist?

More important games this weekend though.....who you captaining? :detective:

The problem is having Premier refs for Championship matches. We've had a couple at City this year and all they are worried about is their own self importance. Cardiff were done, especially when the 'keeper handled outside the area, but Webb's decision would be based more on him 'showing a hostile home crowd' who was boss than bothering with the minor matter of the laws of the game.

It has all the makings of a good final. Readings chances will be enhanced if Kebe is fit, could go either way though.

As for my captain, I have written to the FF people and asked if I can be exempt from having one. I've not picked a good un all year. Might pick Reina and hope he takes Liverpool's four penalties at the Villa, that's about my only chance now.

Peterboro v Huddersfield final at Old Trafford

thank fuck peterborough knocked franchise f.c out the play offs,they shouldn't be in the league !

i didn't really think Forest would get promoted - I just said that to try and get Winnie posting again :holiday:

Totally agree Kev and how sweet was it to see AFC Wimbledon get back in the league yesterday? I loved it!

Hope they usurp them twats at MK soon.

How much did the jacks pay that Khizanishvilli clown then? Gifted them promotion and will probably be beaten to death unless he moves far far away from Reading by the end of the day.

At least we've gotten rid of Dave Jones though, I'm not as anti Jones as most Cardiff fans but he should have gone at xmas really. Hopefully some other team will come in for him soon so we're not paying his wages for the whole of the next year. Only a couple of names look favourable from the list of potential replacements.

Here's the initial SkyBet odds:

Craig Bellamy 5/1
Chris Hughton 6/1
Alan Curbishley 8/1
Roy Keane 8/1
Roberto Di Matteo 8/1
Iain Dowie 8/1
Ian Holloway 10/1
Peter Reid 10/1
Gary Megson 12/1
Gareth Southgate 12/1
Gary Megson 12/1
Martin O'Neill 14/1
Malky Mackay 14/1
Sean O'Driscoll 16/1
Gus Poyet 20/1
Sam Allardyce 20/1
Ryan Giggs 25/1

I reckon it's a 3 man shortlist of Hughton, Curbishley and Di Matteo though. No chance of Poyet moving, we couldn't afford O'Neil and most of the rest are just making up the numbers.
