The football gods were on our side tonight I think!!!
Indeed, but they are fickle and scheming, thw semi-final is not over just yet. We still await the outcome of the independent inquiry. However, that is for another day, we can at least enjoy this evening for the great spectacle that it was.
 
Well that was tense!
I was getting worried; usually when a team is so dominant and don't score they get punished - I feared that was going to happen to us. Saints are still surprising me with their level of unity, we've got a very decent squad.

On a side note, I was hoping the whole scandal thing would die down after the game but I did see this that made me chuckle:
"Tigers Vs Cheetahs Playoff Final".

If we do go up, we need to keep this squad together as much as possible. I can't handle another season like last time we were in the Premier League.

It would be a legal nightmare for the EFL if they banned us from the playoff final after two more matches have been played. If they concrete evidence they most likely would have postponed the away game at the weekend. Bring on Wembley.

The EFL know we would sue if they removed as now. And the crime doesn’t warrant it. I’m expecting a fine …or points deducted if we remain in Championship.
