You know mate, I thought the Blades were going to bottle it at the end of the season but it was quite comfortable in the end - it was actually Leeds who bottled it ! I imagine there will be a cracking atmosphere at the Lane next season.
Just a pity Forest bottled it

Oh mate i thought the exact same, i thought leeds were going to pip us to the post. Thats normal for the blades though, keep everyone on the edge of their seats.

The atmosphere is electric down there at the minute, the last game of the season was amazing, i just really hope he buys well for the prem.

I remember going to forest about 2 seasons back and u absolutely battered us, i remember thinkin u really had a great team, dawson, the two marlons etc...
but thats what happens when young talent shines at clubs like us, bigger fish come and steal them

I hope he can get them back on form again next season as City went into quite a slump towards the end didn't they.

Must say, I'm looking forward to Sunday's game Watford (just qualifies outside of London) v Leeds. Always love the top division play-off & seeing as I was born in Watford & still live close by, would be great to see them come up again & this time with a better team/set up than previously.

Leeds should be Prem side though, would actually like to see them both up.

Wigan have done nothing this season to be ashamed of. They've done a good job as far as the Premiership is concerned and its nice to see the Warriors overshadowed in Wigan for a change. Saying that though, they'll (Warriors) hopefully be going down this season

I reckon Wigan have given hope to a lot of other Championship sides, let's hope they keep it up next season.

No specific team for me, i follow most of the midlands teams. What a bad year it was with the Blues, West Brom and Walsall relegated.. What odds on Wolves not drawing so many games and getting promoted?

An enormous slump! (if that's possible)

We lost 9 out of the last 10 league games and went out of the FA Cup at home to West Ham

If we hadn't had such a good start we could have been dragged into the mire but fortunately the three relegated teams were poor enough to avoid all that!

PS Just changed my Avatar in recognition of Bermuda's all time hero and City legend - Shaun Goater. If you look closely, you can see The Goat celebrating his 100th goal for City running in front of the United fans with his finger on his lips - quality!

I remember having a season ticket at Field Mill - it was £7.50 and in those days (and upto a few years later) you could easily afford to have season tickets for both the Stags and Forest, it helped of course that they played at home on alternate Saturdays

Just a pity Forest bottled it

I don't think Leeds bottled it. Sheffield united clung on by the skin of their teeth.
