I am actually!, as am sure Craig will be. They could be three up easy but by the sounds of it the finishing is crap or nerves!

Would love to see them go up!!!!


Just on the way back from Wembley now. Stunned, gobsmacked but deliriously happy. Town were the better team, the more adventurous and it's just fantastic to have them in the Premier League. I was 9 months old when they got relegated from the top flight.


Conflict of interest twice next season?


Wagner v Klopp might be interesting next season.

If nothing else, Huddersfield should be a better team to watch than the last time they were in the top flight, as that particular team was dire in footballing terms. They had a 'robust' defence, built around Trevor Cherry and Roy Ellam in the middle, but very little creativity in midfield and attack and the only players of any real note were Cherry himself and Frank Worthington.

I really hope they fare a lot better this time around.

I was at the same school as Trevor Cherry's son. He used to have one of those strange Porsches (I think it was rear engined) that just looked really stupid.

Absolutely not. I revelled in the 10-1 win in '87, only ever one team for me, but in all the other matches I'll want my birth town team to win.

Reading improved in the second half but could hardly have got any worse. They were shocking in the 1st and Town should easily have gone in 2 or 3 up at half time. Both sides looked nervous, understandable given the prize at stake.
