It's all happening this week end folks! from Champions league ( where both finalist aren't) to league 2 play offs, are we interested? I must admit the Champions league game holds little or no interest for me, it just does not grab me like it would have years ago, two English league teams , but how many Brits playing? I have more interest in play offs . Championship play offs contested by 4 teams we should be on a par with and were ,not so long ago in the position we find ourselves in now. A case can be made for both finalist to merit a place in the Prem so good luck to both, League one is interesting in as much i do not think many pundits would have picked the finalist , both have exceeded expectation IMHO, AND GUESS WHAT ,WE BEAT BOTH OF THEM! League 2 you have Newport who have been knocking on the door for a while and Morecambe , how well have the latter done to get here, quite a story. Finally in the National league its interesting that the play offs could well be contested by 6 ex league teams! shows how bloody vital those spot kicks were! good luck to all.

Was thinking the same halifax, we only won 10 league games but beat both finalists, though a bit fortunate to beat Blackpool. Istr that they had plenty of chances to beat us but didn’t take them. And the fact that so many of them were with us not so long ago gives me hope that with a new ground and some good ownership we could be there in years to come.
UTG!

Struggle to get interested in Premier league and Champions league matches. Too much personality, too much play acting and ‘gamesmanship’ which amounts to in my eyes cheating, and I don’t actually find the football exciting.

I'm not fussed about Champions League but I'll hope that Man City win it.
Playoffs should be good, will support Brentford.

I’ll be watching all the games ( to the joy of my wife!) . I’ve been more interested in watching other teams / games this past yr just because watching the Gas has been so bad I’ve wanted to watch something else for entertainment.
Hoping Man City win the champions league final. Always had a liking for them for being the underdogs in Manchester for so many yrs and having to suffer being bullied , mocked by their rich neighbours. Plus they play in blue . It’s great to see the tables turned. If only the same could happen in Bristol!!

I’ll be rooting for: Man City Brentford Lincoln Morecambe Torquay Same for me except I hope Newport beat Morecambe. Newport have been there or thereabouts since Mike Flynn became full time manager there, and it would be nice to see them take that final step to promotion. |

Rather an away trip to Newport than Morecombe, plus they will bring loads more to the mem. |

You know what they say Wareham, its the hope that...........! Hard luck to the Cherries by the way, all going so well then the football gods intervened and fate took a hand! |

The play-offs seem to have some meaning, if you lose it sometimes means you lose your chance and may impact on your future, like it did to us in 1995. This year Barnsley lost their chance perhaps, if Morecambe don’t do it perhaps their chance will go if Adams goes. There’s interesting stuff around the play-offs which isn’t there, imo, with the European matches.
With Chelsea and Man City it doesn’t really matter they will both be somewhere around the final stages next season. Basically it’s pretty boring for anyone other than their fans, imo.
UTG!

We sat and watched it all unravel after the early goal. I’m not overly fussed and in the end AFCB weren’t good enough, Woodgate got his tactics wrong, the sending off changed things but it was a red card offence so fair enough. Where I think they were unlucky was the penalty, as there’s no VAR it was the fans reaction that persuaded the ref. He couldn’t see it, only a couple of players reacted so I’d say earlier in the season with no fans there would not have been a penalty. Fans change the officials reactions. Eddie H as manager AFCB would have won through, far better tactically, Woodgate has done well but not in the same league as Howe. Rovers might have got a few more decisions at the Mem with fans in place. UTG! |

Does make you wonder how many other Teams Fans are thinking what an awful away trip to our sh1thole of a ground is lined up for them next Season. |

I’d love ta see Man City win it tonight, one of my favourite all time teams ta watch play. And they've not won it before. And I hate Chelsea. With a passion. I did hear, and take it with a pinch of salt, but the Mansoor Family who own City, are footing the bill for all their travelling fans? |

Always had a soft spot for Brentford so that's a no brainer for me.
Not too bothered about the two other fixtures but I will wish all teams the best of luck.
