    Dramatic stuff.
    Horrible way to lose.
    Huddersfield were top three all season until Wagner rested players in the last few games. They were the next best team after Newcastle and Brighton and deserve to go up, even though they came 5th.

    They go up having had a negative goal difference over the 46 games. Only scored 56 in 46 games, Blackburn who were relegated, scored 53 !

    The "point" is that Spurs achieved Wengers' 'primary aim' of 2012,
    and he did not. So by his own measure, Spurs succeeded and the
    Goons did not.

    The first Pannini-type sticker album that I completed was the one for 1972. Frank Worthington was in it for Huddersfield along with Trevor Cherry and Dick Kryzwicki. I'm pretty sure I saw them at The Lane that season. I don't think that I've seen them since. Welcome back lads!

    Yes. My son is at Uni in Manchester and the last two seasons has been Etihad and OT. Next season will be Huddersfield and possibly Burnley.

    They dish it out to us calling us bottlers and spursy.
    We won 12 out our last 13 premier league matches and they still said these things.

    Wenger and the media made top 4 the thing to achieve over trophies.
    After we won the Carling Cup in 08 but came outside the top 4 he said it was pointless compared to arsenal coming top 4.

    The flip is by gooners not us in my opinion.

    I spotted a few Reading fans in Victoria this evening, and I couldn't help but notice whoever designed the kit thought it would be a good idea to have the hoops fade on the back - which just makes it look like their fans have been sat on the couch longer than the sloth victim in Seven.

    They split the league after a certain number of games. Then those in the top half play each other and those in the bottom half play each other and you end up with weirdness like this.

    Also, don't say "...nice stadium." Huddersfield fans hate that the only thing 90% of people can say about their club is "...nice stadium."

    I heard they were running a social science experiment to see if anyone gave a flying **** about Scottish football by openly fiddling the final table.

    So far, you're the only person in the entire world who has noticed. Fair play <applause>
