Just list the three teams you think will win the play-offs this weekend. Nothing else - no goalscorers, no scorelines... just the winning teams (and we'll see if anyone called it right on Monday night). I'll start:

Villa
Rotherham
Coventry

I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Some meaty challenges going in!

(For today obviously, I know Norman Hunter once snapped someone's leg off and the bloke played on and bought him a pint afterwards )

A bit late to this party

I wanted Fulham to win ( and pleased as punch for Tom Cairney getting the goal ) but scrub that
as I suspected Steve Bruce would have sneaked it again

As for tomorrow and Monday

Shrews then Exeter

Rotherham - But not pleased they have been in administration and got a new ground. Don't what to see Hurst cupping his ears again.

Coventry - because Exeter are not sure whats happening with their manager. Should have been well sorted by now.


Thank you Mr Corbyn (Steptoe), you are the best thing that has happened to the Conservatives for ages.

  I very much doubt Hurst will be cupping his ears today because the fans at Shrewsbury appreciate what a great job he has done for them. They were rock bottom of league one when he took over only 18 months ago. You can't argue with that. I would love to see them win today with all their GTFC connections. And I hope it will be our turn to achieve something similar next season.

Not really fussed who wins but if Hurst gets Shrewsbury promoted then well done to him.

I must admit I would've sacked Hurst well before he got us promoted, shows what I know.

Shaun Whalley lucky to only get a yellow according to "talkSPORT RADIO" the ref probably didn't want to ruin the game

He led with his arm, you’ve seen red cards given for challenges like it. It wasn’t as bad as Rhead on Henderson though.

Rovrum go one up. Beckles with terrible marking.

I'd be looking for someone to bring into their coaching lineup if I was hurst because he seems to have brought some of the problems his town sides had with him and probably needs a fresh perspective

Massive penalty save by deano


Sounds like Henderson did a Jerzy Dudek and was well off his line when the ball was struck.

I'm pretty sure Hurst will be at Ipswich next season.

Despite the fact that if he loses today, that'll be 5 losses in 6 Wembley appearances for him.

He was a good yard or so off his line when the ball was struck

Doesn’t take away from the fact that it was a poor penalty though

He could probably still have saved it rooted to the line……no one will ever know

Lool I just put £20 on Shrews to win as it was 20-1 odds and had a feeling they might get back into it soon. Would be amazing returns if shrews win!

It doesn't matter how you score them. A goal is a goal. The goal he scored had us dreaming , for a short amount of time, that we were going back into the football league.

Henderson hasn't done his career any harm today thats for sure. Better clubs than Bristol City I would have thought

Hurst's tactical rigidity has cost him here. Apart from one well worked move Shrewsbury have been awful, and they've not been able to cope defending set pieces in their own half all game. Putting John-Lewis on Rotherham's biggest set piece threat is a terrible bit of management.

Hurst and his Shrews are going to have to come up with something special in the last period of extra time

Big ask but a goal would take it to the lottery of penalties

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😂😂😂😂😀😂😀😂😂😀😂😂😂😂


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Spin it the other way he was given a long long time to get us up and first opportunity he went and I suspect he will do the same with shrews


No he won't. He's off to Ipswich most likely. Anywhere but Shrewsbury. Why spoil his cv with a downhill run?

Quoted from Grantley
yeah, putting up a 'Hurst Out' banner halfway through a playoff semi, why on earth would he want to cup his ears?


Yep, it's fine to tarnish the final for thousands of fans because one person put up a banner. Unless he spotted the person in the crowd and aimed it only at him.
I think it was a lesson in professionalism - ie, what not to do. I doubt Hurst will react like that in future under similar circumstances. I think he'll show more class, composure and perspective. If he does progress to management of a big club at league one or championship level he'll have to learn to deal with expectation, criticism, pressure and derision - on a much grander scale than at Town, so good luck to him and I'm sure he'll do well.

Well, if you stick a tenner on him to be Ipswich manager tonight, you will be in profit by a quid.

Quick update on the competition... nine people correctly guessed Fulham & Rotherham to win and they are:

sonofmadeleymariner (Exeter)
GTFC42 (Exeter)
Abdul19 (Coventry)
The Old Codger (Coventry)
Les Brechin (Coventry)
chaos 33 (Coventry)
penrith mariner (Exeter)
Kingston Mariner (Exeter)
PrestwichMariner (Coventry)

If Exeter win then sonofmadeleymariner takes the playoff crown for being the first to submit the correct predictions. Likewise, if Coventry win then Abdul19 is the playoff king.

Unless you each want to predict the time of the first goal as a tiebreaker?

I’d wonder if certain people had an agenda if that managed to tarnish the final for them.

I did not see this thread until after Fulham had won so did not enter,

I did pick Fulham to win though and also Rotherham,

I can not get 3 right out of 3 so I am going for Coventry to win,

That's because I really want Exeter to go up.

2,000 Coventry fans at the park next season or less than 200 Exeter .

No contest.

If hundreds of people gave you dogs abuse (to the level he got at Halifax) just for doing what you thought was right in your job wouldn't you take the opportunity to push back a bit?

He is not the first manager to get such a reaction after a excrement performance, he should have risen above it rather than having a go at the fans, unfortunately at that time he didn't have the class to leave well alone.

At the end of the day he's made a lot of town fans look very silly. I'd like to think our current young up and coming manager will get the opportunity to improve with us without getting abuse for every tactical mistake and every comment he makes that is taken out of context. I won't hold my breath though.

I don’t understand the hate but I certainly don’t think he has made a lot of town fans look silly.

Anyone who knows anything about the game can see what Hurst has been about for the past 4-5 seasons. He is a clever bloke when it comes to managing his own ambitions. He understands the value of reputation when it comes to a new job with a new club and he knows when and where to move. He has always been on a winner at Shrewsbury regardless of whether he reached the playoffs. Joining a club that was down the bottom gives an ideal opportunity especially with a budget to sign a few decent players. But the heart of his side at Wembley were loanees so effectively if he stays he has to start all over.

He did an interesting interview for the BBC after the game.

[url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44279810[/url]

If he does go to Ipswich the interesting question will be how long he stays and where he goes from there. The fans there want more than just bragging rights over Norwich and he could find himself in the same situation as he was at Town - successful but not successful enough quick enough. But if he could get them to the play-offs he will be away again and the world is his oyster.

Mr Jolley  has a lot more astute attitude than our previous management , I believe his faux pa s will be a rather than on the ground , he also seems to have a blunt honesty about him .

Yeah of course he should, we all would have been able to, wouldn't we?

I think this ear cupping thing is an after final after thought, on the day I can't remember too many moaning, then again I can't remember that much to be fair.

Not much of a spectacle so far....

Maybe once the players tire and the game gets a bit stretched in the second half it might liven things up

The difference between Hurst and Jolley is,

If we played crap and lost 4-0 to a team we should have won,

Michael would not have a go at the fans that went instead he would have said that was crap and the fans deserve better.

Just my opinion like.

There were plenty of people moaning about the ear cupping but we were also in the middle of a celebration for the next few weeks.

He simply shouldn’t have done it. I’d be very surprised that even if Jolley did it even if he ended up in the same scenario. He’s shown more PR nous than Hurst ever would. To that extent Hurst was out of the Fenty mould.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,

One thing disappoints me about this final: That Coventry don`t play

Jordan Thompson. Jordan Maguire-Drew, Jordan Ponticelli from the start of this game.
I think they would play well with Jordan Willis and Jordan Shipley.

I really do hope that they buy Jordan Moore-Taylor, Jordan Storey and Jordan Tillson from Exeter.

They could be sponsored by an oli magnate from Jordan and change their name to Jordan FC.

Oh, well... hat... door... on my way.

Coventry's win makes our task a little easier next season.

Exeter have no cash and will be under pressure to sell again, and might well lose their manager. I see them as far less of a threat than Coventry.

Exeter made over £2million in transfers last year and they’re building new stands so they’re not exactly strapped for cash.

A fan-owned club could never survive and thrive. Football clubs need rich benefactors.


Or so they say.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I heard a stat that said Exeter have made £7m in transfer fees alone since 2015 - think it was on Sky Sports in one of their preview shows.

If that's true then that's incredible. We supposedly made £1m on Bogle and we think that's decent.

Congrats to Abdul19 btw - called all three play-off final winners correctly (as did a few others to be fair) but his were first in.

You win a lifetime's supply of fresh air!

It was said today that the Trust can only put in £90k per season, the rest has to come from selling players and gate receipts. They couldn't afford to pay off their manager which is why he is working a two year notice period. If they are splashing cash on ground improvements that will put further pressure on their budgets next season.  It will be interesting to see how they fare next year, especially if the manager walks.

If like suggested PH was tapped up by Ipswich I sympathise fully with the Shrews fans we had the same with Slade before playing Cheltenham at Cardiff it left a very sour taste. Get some money on the Shrews getting relegated.
