Form tends to go out of the window when it comes to the playoffs but if I had to guess I'd say Birmingham or West Ham, don't want West Ham to get promoted though.

Anyone but West Ham and I will be delighted!

West Ham up 1-0 against Cardiff...dont mind seeing West Ham back in the Prem league as they are my local team but im hardly a supporter of them plus Fat Sam being in charge of them doesnt do the team any favours

West Ham now up 2-0 to nil against Cardiff.

Come on Blackpool!!

Well done to West Ham, one third of the way to the prem!!

Can't see West Ham blowing it in the second despite their dodgy home form.

Much prefer them promoted over the other clubs.

How was West Ham's performance last night?? (Didn't see it as it was at a gig) 2-0 has to be in a commanding position for the second round next week, even if their home form is dreadful...

Looks like its up to Birmingham to pull on tout the bag as I don't see Blackpool being good enough to beat West Ham in a final.

So nervous for tonight at Blackpool. Hope we can go back to St Andrews with at least a draw. With reports that Chris Hughton is favourite to take the West Brom job, I believe we need to win the playoffs to have any chance of keeping him.

Redmond should have hit the target, decent start for us.

pingwing · 4 May 2012 at 20:31

What a naff deflection

sunnysingh · 4 May 2012 at 20:35

HT Blackpool 1 Birmingham 0. Bad time to concede a goal. Got to pick it up in the 2nd half.

sunnysingh · 4 May 2012 at 21:09

We getting outplayed !!! We should be at least 2 nil down now. Come on lads !!!

sunnysingh · 4 May 2012 at 21:17

Redmond off, Spector on.

sunnysingh · 4 May 2012 at 21:20

Oohhh thank god that was offside !!!!!

sunnysingh · 4 May 2012 at 21:39

FT Blackpool 1 Birmingham 0. After all that I'm grateful we just 1 nil down. That's the worse I've seen us play for a long time.

Marlon King makes Heskey look useful, constantly offside throughout and fluffs a sitter right at the end.

Blackpool should be 2 or 3 up in all honesty with the chances they had, lucky goal though looked like it was going well wide before the deflection.

I think that's the biggest compliment Heskey has ever had.

Looks like West Ham in the final at Wembley. 1 nil up already, Nolan with the goal.
