Holy shit, didn't know the playoffs came around so quickly.

Erm, I'll go with Blackpool as they are somewhat of the form side in there.

Cardiff always fucking flop.

I just don't rate the guy at all. Granted he doesn't get enough first-team opportunities, but the opportunities he gets he consistently makes costly defensive mistakes. Our defence is never comfortable when he's in the team, and an example of that would be quite recently when Bosscielny was supended for two games due to his tenth yellow card.

He got the card in the game where we beat Man City 1-0, as well as Gibbs getting injured then too. We then played Wolves, and although we beat them 3-0, you ignore the scoreline and it was actually an even game. Who was down back with Sagna & Vermaelen? Djourou and Santos were. Then we lost to Wigan 2-1 at HOME and it was the exact same backline as I just mentioned. Then we played Chelsea at Home, now with Bosscielny & Gibbs back, and what happens? We didn't win, but our defence was very strong throughout the game.

Point is we are very shaky with him in the team, no matter if he plays his actual position or fills in at right back. Santos has been at the club for one season, Djourou for much longer, which is why I want Djourou gone.

Dave Jones always flopped. I think it could be different this year! difficult semi against West Ham, but pressure is all on them, we can just play our game. Beat them first game of the season too!

I'd like to see West Ham win the Playoffs, so I can go to Upton Park next season and potentially watch a PL game.

Has the whole debarkle about who gets the Olympic Stadium after the Olympics been resolved yet too?

I don't think so. It's the whole loaning it back to the club they're trying to sort out isn't it? I'm not 100% on that however.

Pulling for a West Ham / Blackpool final as i'm a fan of both Allardyce and Holloway.

He's a proven quality manager that can make the most out of nothing, just look at what he did with Bolton. If the blueberries in charge at Blackburn didn't sack him, they wouldn't be heading into the championship that's for damn sure.

Newcastle and Tottenham both won earlier, which puts the pressure on Chelsea even more to win the Champion's League, because it's looking like they'll end up in the Europa League next season.

Obviously Man City are a whole 'nother breed to Chelsea, but seeing Newcastle winning tonight must give United at least a glimour of hope of them taking points from City.
