Yes Fulham are still in with a chance after winning today and that game looks like it had some drama in the second half. Second place is West Brom's to lose now and I can't see them failing to beat QPR unless the pressure gets to them. Brentford will have to pick themselves up for the play offs if they don't make it, it would be a shame if they miss out, they've played some great football this season. Playoffs are enjoyable to watch but somehow it doesn't seem right that a team that could end up with 84 points finishing third in the table could miss out on promotion to a team with 70 points that finish 6th but that's part of the game I guess. I totally agree..... it's like running a marathon and the winner gets the gold medal, runner up gets silver and 3rd 4th 5th and 6th do a 100m sprint to decide who gets the bronze. |

Coudn't agree more, I and some friends of mine were against it from day one. It's just another money making exersise. How come they don't do it for the relegation clubs?  |

Well well well, after one shock win over Liverpool, my boys have done it again except this one is even better as not only did we beat the cheats of Manchester but we're going to Wembley for a final - lets extend our record and grab a 14th FA Cup.

Fingers crossed Brentford snatch that 2nd spot from West Brom with Fulham or Nottingham Forest winning the play offs - gotta support my London clubs minus one particular one of course. It would also be great if Forest return with the proud history they have and Lamouchi has done a good job as well Being local to me I would love to see Brentford go up but it is so close between West Brom and Brentford. I'm sure rif153 would like Brentford to go up as well. When Brentford move stadiums it will put an end to that famous quiz question "Which stadium has a pub on every corner?"I would love Brentford to go up, I remember back in 2015 when they made the playoffs I was really hoping they would go up then. On the question of pubs. I suspect that there still will be plenty of Brentford fans who will use the pubs where Griffin Park currently is after it moves but it wouldn't surprise me if at least one if not more of the pubs closes as there may not be enough custom for all four to stay afloat. |

Indeed, nearly had a heart attack at that along with the fact we scored a City esque goal where 10 players were involved playing 18 passes  |

There’s been some rumours that Watford have sacked Nigel Pearson despite being outside the relegation zone.
If this is true then this is a ridiculous decision by Watford unless there’s been a dispute of some sort which knowing Nigel Pearson wouldn’t surprise me

It does help that apart from the pub near Brentford station there's not really anything else around that area apart from a couple on the other side of Kew Bridge but doubt most Brentford fans would go there. |

We'll see you there having just seen off Man United. I hope we avenge the defeat of 2017. |

Indeed we'll see you there although I'm very confident of adding to our 13 FA Cups given our record at Wembley in the last 25 years is very good and have beaten you guys in the 2002 & 2017 finals  |

If this is true then this is a ridiculous decision by Watford unless there’s been a dispute of some sort which knowing Nigel Pearson wouldn’t surprise me He was only contracted until the end of the season but the timing does seem strange, I suspect there may be a bit more to this than meets the eye. |

This may cause instability at the club coming to the tail end of the season with Watford just above the relegation zone, would be awful if Watford were to go down. |
