S-Clarke Posted 7 May, 2012 Share Posted 7 May, 2012 Cardiff have been dreadful over both games......then again they do this year in and year out in the Play Offs. I don't think they've necessarily been dreadful, West ham are simply too good for them. They look a league apart, and there's not much Cardiff can do.

aintforever Posted 7 May, 2012 Share Posted 7 May, 2012 Saints, West ham and Reading have been head and shoulders above anyone else this season. The hammers will win easy at Wembley IMO, doesn't matter who they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 7 May, 2012 Share Posted 7 May, 2012 Hard luck Cardiff. Can we have Peter Whittingham now please? :-) I've developed a bit of a vendetta against West Ham this season, on a personal and forum level, so I hope whoever meets them in the final gives them a good game (and possibly wins it) but you can't argue that they're the third best team in the league this season - and they've shown it over the two legs of the play-off. I think Birmingham have the best chance of beating West Ham, and to that end I hope they make it past Blackpool. In Chris Burke, they have one of the best players in the league, and he could be the man to stop West Ham. I like Hughton too, a lot more than I like Holloway, even if he is almost definitely leaving to take the West Brom job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 7 May, 2012 Share Posted 7 May, 2012 Hard luck Cardiff. Can we have Peter Whittingham now please? :-) He's been **** for a while now. He was outclassed in the middle by Noble and Nolan, don't think he'd massively improve us if I'm honest. and WHU have this sewn up as long as they turn up in the final, I cannot see past them. They've got momentum, the better players and the confidence. If they don't join us then it's a royal cockup in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 8 May, 2012 Share Posted 8 May, 2012 Wham are one game away from the PL. Imagine how we would have felt losing to Coventry. They will be destroyed if Blackpool or Brum do them over. Will be quite poetic if Gold, Sullivan and Brady are done over by Brum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 8 May, 2012 Share Posted 8 May, 2012 LOL at the arrogant Hammers fans on KUMB wanting to play Blackpool.

Yeah, they do look warn out. They've had a pretty busy season to say the least! They did have Doyle in goal for the first leg didn't they? What's happened to Boaz Myhill? I think he's one of the better keepers at this level. Doyle is **** though, i'll give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 8 May, 2012 Share Posted 8 May, 2012 Birmingham at home, only 1 goal down, tired or not I think that will be one close game and I would not bet against the Blues winning.

I am not really sure which team would give the Hammers most problems at Wembley but just have a feeling it would be Birmingham If neither of them can produce a better display than Cardiff they might as well save everbodies time and money and stay at home.Yesterday's game was a no contest,fortunately for us West Ham had a spell when they couldn't get a home win for love nor money. Then again if either of us had been able to gain a home win against Reading it would be them in the play-offs. Top 3 should go up if there's more than a 10 point margin between 3rd and 4th.

WokingSaint Posted 8 May, 2012 Share Posted 8 May, 2012 Look forward to an answer re a cup/medals for 2nd Place. The Winners of the Play Offs get a cup and medals. I believe all finalists get medals. Coming (a very close) second has got to be better than going up via the Play Offs. What do the 2nd placed team get.
