Hi Chris
thanks for getting back to me.
Yes I went last night, just about getting over it now. As I said somewhere else on here we are at least one season too early for the Premiership and it's probably a blessing that some other team goes up to take the obligatory thrashing and relegation.
Having said that we fell woefully short last night, outfought and outcompeted in most area's and what a night to pick to have your worst home game of the season. Blackpool thoroughly deserved the victory and I am please for Ian Holloway, he's a top bloke. I used to enjoy his ramblings on radio 5 when he had a slot of Friday Nights sports show. Mad as a box of frogs!
I don't believe next year will be as tough. Unfortunately we had to contend with two strong teams from the Premiership. The teams coming down this time are not in the same class. I'd like to think we'll be mixing it next year with Middlesborough and Leeds in a 3 way tussle at the top. If Cardiff don't go up they'll have major financial worries, Portsmouth to do another drop to league 1 but I reckon Ipswich could well be dark horses, I can't see them having another poor season with Keane in charge. Oh..and Derby for the drop.
Now all West Brom have to do is avoid the yo yo drop, and keep a place warm in the prem for us so it's only a season before we can sample the delights of the Vine again. Still my favorite away ground of all time
