I'm here! - Just got back myself, what a long trek that was. So frustrated today, after getting there and hearing the Reading result I really believed we'd be playing for the league on the last day....obviously not then. We couldn't have asked for a better start to be honest, but I felt we didn't kick on from that, we didn't exert ourselves in our normal way and slowly we let Boro creep back into the game and they then got a pretty firm foothold, and we were chasing them around for the rest of the 1st half. They deserved that equalizer at the death for sure. We started the 2nd half really well, right out of the blocks, but we failed to make any clear cut chances apart from Sharp blazing over. After the incident with the free kick (and their player was the last man tbf) it seemed to knock us back and we lost any foothold we'd regained, and then losing chaplow just destroyed our shape and we were never in the game after that. Boro looked a useful outfit, but If we were really on our game and were professional about our jobs we'd be back here in the premier league. Luckily we have another chance, we can sit back and watch the WHU game, but no point in getting too downhearted if they win. We have a relegated Coventry city at home, where we need just 1 win to get into the premier league. I always felt we'd take it to the last day - and we have. I'm still pretty confident we do it, but it'll be tinged with disappointment as I feel the last few weeks we've let the title slip out of our hands when it should really be ours. Never mind, can't wait for next week now.

I just feel relaxed about this too. I think we'll have too much for Boro tomorrow, we will want this more than them IMO.

Ah ok. I don't think the range on their device is particularly good if I'm honest, and I experienced lots of wireless drop outs with mine, which was my main bug bear. (not sure if you've found that?). It might work better for you! but I'm a bit of a speed freak so I have my main access point upstairs and a repeater downstairs which knocks out my dead spots and gives me full signal up to the top of the garden.

When I joined virgin they included the Superhub which was the wireless router and modem all in one box. I still have it on my network, but it operates in bridge mode so is just my modem - rather than providing any wireless or routing services. I bought an additional Netgear wireless N access point which gives me really good coverage around the house. I know Virgin used to offer a wireless router and a modem as 2 separate devices, I'm not sure if that's what you have.

We will also play a relegated side at home with the worst away record in the football league.

traveling from soton, going up with 3 other mates. Driving there, and back.

Sorted my tickets and travel now, buzzing for this one.

If they've given you one of those Superhubs, the wireless built into that is simply horrific. I gave up with it in the end and bought my own Wireless router and set the 'superhub' in bridged mode (so it just runs as a cable modem, nothing else). You'd probably get a decent improvement by doing the same!

I'm confident that we already have a very ambitious list of transfer targets that we'd have tried for no matter what happend. It's going to be an exciting summer where we're linked with all sorts of big names, but let's not forget that our transfer policy so far has been fautless. We know what we're doing, big names or no big names.

Yes! The playoffs are fantastic as long as you're not in them.

ah ok, that can go to Moose then. I wonder what that makes his beloved Posh team, if we still thump them but Lambert doesn't score. Boy they must be dross.

What a muppet he is. So bitter, but face the facts mr Durham, your team have not been consistent enough over the course of the season. You slipped out of the top 2 when the pressure told. Ourselves and Reading stuck to our guns and remained consistent, therefore we're the better teams. You can spend all the money on big stars, but nothing can beat a team - which is what ourselves and Reading have. Deservedly promoted, WHU will deservedly fail.

Nope! Because if we win this we have a huge chance to win the league on the last day.

Greg Halford and Ward? Seriously? They're bog standard average championship players, no more no less.

This is exactly it. If we get promotion on the back of WHU failing, then that's all the media will say. It won't be ''well done to us'' it'll be all down to WHU cocking up...

Yep, let's win. Let's make Readings nerves jangle a bit and take the title to the last day. They're at Birmingham, we're at home to Coventry. We only need them to lose away at Brum (very possible) and then we just need to beat Cov and we're champions. A draw isn't the end of the world, but it would kill of our title hopes. We can win at M'Boro though if we're at it.

Kasper, if WHU stay down we need to look at Tomkins I'd also love us to get someone like Noble in the middle of the park, failing that, someone I have been really impressed with this year (he's very young, so will be one for the future) Sean Murray of Watford, outstanding talent in CM.

An amazing bump, thanks for finding this one again. What a ride.

and on another note, how many flaming games is it now that we've won when we're leading at HT?

I didn't think WHU could afford a single slip up, and I stand by that. They needed to win all 4 games. They havne't, so they've now blown it IMO.

Because they're stupid.

they've got something like 45 points from a possible 48, that's totally and utterly well deserved for me.

Boro drew 0-0 at home with Doncaster tonight. They are 4 points outside the playoffs. They play last on saturday obviously, but before they play it could be all over. Cardiff are at home to Leeds and Blackpool are at home to Burnley. Brum are away @ Brighton, so you'd expect it to be all over tbh. (they also have a worse GD than any of the top 6, -15 goals in most cases)

WHU play on monday night.

what an assist tonight, messi-esque.
