They have been very very lucky this season. Are they the first club to be promoted to the PL with a minus GD?


They've won a record amount of games by a one goal margin apparently. I wouldn't call that lucky though.

They have some really pacey wide men, lets hope we can take a leaf out of their book this season, thinking about it Davies does not cut the biscuit regarding pace I reckon

Nice to see a different team do well, with the same budget as Rotherham as well apparently, which makes it very impressive.

Only 3 play off finals have finished a 0-0 draw after extra time and Huddersfield have played in each of them.

Huddersfield might have won play-offs from every division, but not NL as we did.

I have mixed feelings because I used to watch them quite a lot in the 70s when I was in the West Riding. They had a good side and good times at Leeds Road under Ian Greaves with players like Frank Worthington and Trevor Cherry. But then they went into decline. So I am pleased for the fans who have stayed remarkably loyal during the ups and downs.

This side they have now isn't anywhere near good enough to compete in the PL. Looking at their stats they have easily the best possession record in the Championship but scored no goals at all in counter attack and as Abdul says, a remarkable number of 1-0 wins. In fact they scored only 1 goal in open play in the last 4 games. Which suggests they tip tap around without much penetration. They will have to buy a lot of quality players and the PL isn't the easiest place to get going with a complete new team.

The other minus point in my eyes is that 5 out of the top 6 have foreign managers. Newcastle can be forgiven because they were relegated with one but this seems to be fashionable now in the Championship as well as the PL. Even Norwich has gone for a German.

That's 49 teams who have played in the Premier League since it was founded in 1992. I'd never imagined it would be that many if you had asked me back then how many sides would be involved in it in the first 25 years. Our day will come!

But only 6 sides have won the title in 25 years and MU have still won more than 50% of the time. For neutrals that's a big turn off.

At least we're not as bad as Scotland where you have to go back to 1984/85 when it wasn't Celtic or Rangers that won the league.

This is how you look after a loyal fanbase: http://www.givemesport.com/106.....fans-after-promotion

They could have milked this cash cow to death, but instead anyone who has had a season ticket since 2009 can get a season ticket for next season for just £100. Thats a fiver per game
