• Thank you all very much for sharing your time with us in 2025. We hope you all have a safe and happy 2026!

Who will get promoted from the Championship ?

Blackpool won last night 1-0 but to be honest we should have won by 2 or 3. Wednesday's game will be more nervewracking than it should have been but finger crossed we can avoid getting beaten, then is off to Wembley again, hopefully.

Think it wil be very hard for Blackpool at Birmingham and you may rue missing so many chances. Personally I enjoyed Blackpool in the PL and love Ian Holloway as a gaffer. Dislike Birmingham big time so will definitely be a tangerine fan this week
 
Top performance home and away by the Hammers, very happy fan tonight but May 19th is going to be tough. Given our record against them this season I'd rather have Blackpool but you never know with Holloway's teams...

We really owe West Ham one, only one pont last season and two whippings this season, rather play them at Wembley than in a 2 legged affair, mind you we do have the little matter of Brum on Wednesday before even thinking about it.
 
Cardiff well and truly spanked by the Hammers tonight thankfully. Played welll tonight WHU and will take some stopping on this showing.

With the money you've spent and the players you've got you shouldn't even be in the playoffs. Big Sam will be one very relieved man if you get through it. Do you think Sam will stay if you get beat at Wembley? More to the point, do you want him?

Not a West Ham supporter mate, I just hate Cardiff with a passion, I'm not biased I dont care who beats them!!
 
I can't stand the playoffs anyway. Should be top 3 up for the bottom 3 down. There's no playoff for the last CL place. I know it's about money but it's bull.

From what I have read on the West Ham forums, the supporters want the mad one in charge,Paolo Di Canio. Now he would be good value in the premiership.:)

Agreed.

West Ham finished, what, 10 points clear of Blackpool and B'ham?
It's not right.
WH have earned the right to go up.

I remember a few years back a team from one of the lower leagues finished nearly 20 points back from the 1 st playoff place and still went up......

Don't like the playoffs
 
Playoffs are contentious, but they have been in place for years and everyone knows the score. In the past Blackpool have finished 3rd and lost in the playoffs and also not finished 3rd and gone up, so I will feel no qualms if we do it again this season.
