Ken Aries 0 Posted May 19, 2005 that''s tremendous news. i didnt dare take too much notice of last night''s proceedings, just in case the worst case scenariohappened, with those awful binmen winning themselves a trip to cardiff. i had in fact forgotten about the game until i saw your post this morning. who would you like to win a place in the premiership? i would like to see preston gain promotion as they havent been in top flight football for a long time.failing that, i would prefer to see derby(despite their manager)promoted rather than west ham.

Bird Table 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Cheered me up no end! At least we''ll have derbies to look forward to again next season. It''s so funny as they were top of the league for two months! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire canary 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Made my week a whole lot better.That said Alex don''t tempt fate with that footer you''ve got - visions of "On loan to the Endsliegh" t-shirts still haunt me from 10 years ago! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Carrow 376 Posted May 19, 2005 Sorry, but i have to agree with Shropshire Canary Alex-that kind of arrogance is more fitting for ipswich or Wolves than City. Great to see ipswich up the brown stream though!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westoncanary. 0 Posted May 19, 2005 I would like to see Preston go up. West Ham fans are too fickle, on 606 phone-ins this season they all wanted Pardew to go, then on last night''s programme with DJ Spooney, they all thought he was the bees knees!! Plus one of my old work colleagues played for Preston in the 1964 Fa Cup final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young_Riles 0 Posted May 19, 2005 i hate west ham soooo much. i couldn''t win last night, i hate them both! two of my house mates are west ham suppporters, and they are always so full of it! they finished 6th, they don''t deserve it- come on derby/ preston!!

westoncanary. 0 Posted May 19, 2005 We finishe 6th in our play-off year mind, would you have turned down promotion back then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young_Riles 0 Posted May 19, 2005 i''m just not a fan of the play offs, i wouldn''t have minded tho! i''ll agree it does make things more exciting, but west ham finished so far behindthe binners... and no, im not joe royle in disguise... how annoyed will we all be if we finish third, like 15 points clear of the next team? that said, me and mate thought that they should have relegation play offs in the prem. 20th and 19th automatically go down, but then 18th 17th 16th 15th all have a play off to stay up. losers of the first games go into a final, and the loser of that get relegated! how harsh would that be!! however, we''d still have gone down automatically... *sighs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a problem the likes of Wolves and ipswich have had for years and the last thing we need is our fans displaying that kind of attitude. Those teeshirts are seen as an embarrassing joke amongst City fans and im afraid, unless you`re making an attempt at being ironic, so is your logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
