Then and there
Like Brentford last season it would be nice to see Huddersfield make their EPL debut. Although it has been a long time for Nottingham as well.

Huddersfield was in the PL just a few years ago?

Maybe the will have tycoon takeover aiming to repeat their 3 successive top level league titles for 23-26 to equal their feat 100 years ago.

excellent news, hate it when idiots like that manage to spoil what should be a great night

hopefully we won't have any idiots able to travel down to Wembley, I want that day to be a fun one with no trouble

It'll be a party until the game's over. I imagine one way or another someone will ruin it afterwards.

I can't believe i'm finally going to Wembley. 23 years a season ticket holder and this is my first trip.

same for me, after so many oh so nears with the playoffs, finally we get to the final, hoping our lack of experience in finals relative to huddersfield doesn't play too big a role

I think we love the big games. Arsenal, Leicester, Liverpool, Fulham and Derby. The bigger the game the more we step up. The second leg was an anomaly.

Who was the announcer for the Port Vale-Swindon Town match because his call of the ending and pitch invasion was among the most embarrassingly awful things ever. The guy is babbling with all the usual boring and tired cliches blissfully ignoring that a group of Swindon Town players are being attacked in a gigantic brawl that you would've had to be legally blind to miss.

Stockdale needs to be doing better there. His shot-stopping abilities have been a problem for some time now.

Port Vale is headed to league one.

Wrexham isn't going up on the first try for Hollywood owners. I wouldn't say it's a good or bad thing. Obviously you want to get out of the national league as soon as possible but the team needs more than some paid mercenaries. Maybe this will get them to invest in the whole squad going forward instead of a few good players. I can see them winning the league pretty easily next year with the right recruitment. They have the the owners who will invest and the fanbase willing to watch them no matter the league. There's no reason they shouldn't get out of that league soon enough.
