Brentford have pulled one back with seconds to go. 1-2. Fulham up.

Happy to see Fulham back up but a bit gutted for the Bees. They may not get the chances they had again.

Parker has done a fine job getting Fulham back in the PL at the first go. Impressive.

Going to be a reasonably weak Championship next season. Watford would be favourites I guess.

Possibly but they are in a mess. Depends on who they employ maybe.

Did you read that JT may be in the running for the Bournemouth job? reckon he’s due a management job next season.

Yeah possibly. Ideal location for him to where he lives. I guess he needs to make that move soon if he has the desire otherwise he will soon be forgotten as other ex players retire.

Just watched the highlights of the Brentford v Fulham play-off final. 2-1 to Fulham. Disappointed for Brentford for sure, but Fulham were the better team on the day to be fair.

The issue I have is Fulham receiving medals and a trophy for finishing fourth and being the third team promoted. It's ludicrous, way out of proportion. Only Leeds United should receive any silverware after this season's Championship.

Oh good, Fulham are coming up.

I’m sure they’ll bring plenty of excitement scrapping for the odd point here and there before their inevitable relegation next summer. Hopefully Watford can bounce back and bring Reading up with them as well, can never have enough small yo-yo clubs in The Promised Land ™️

So winners and third get something.
What does the second placed, and promoted, team get.

Not wholly relevant, but in the long distant past, when Manchester City got promotion from 3rd to 2nd tier, there were calls for them to have a celebratory open top bus parade through the city.

At least people can finally stop this "Brentford are the best team in the division" bollocks. They're not. They will lose a player or two but I reckon they'll come back stronger next season.

Props to Fulham - bet Buik is buzzing :)

I think you get a small trophy.

The hype around the play-offs is ridiculous. It's a third place play-off, in effect.
