    And on the same day that Cardiff are relegated. Must have been a while since Cardiff were only the third best side in Wales.

    I am interested to see just how ambitious Wrexham will be next season.

    Looking forward to ticking Wrexham off next season. Hopefully Luton can finish the job too.

    Late extra-time winner for Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final. Rudiger completely lost his mind again and threw an object at the referee from the bench. Embarrassing behavior as you come to expect from him.

    Championship is warming up for next season now;

    Be interesting to see us play the likes of Pompey, Wrexham and Oxford in league games next season.

    And then hopefully one of Leyton Orient, Wycombe or Stockport just to remind of the L1 days <laugh>

    Buzzing for next season.

    Harsh red for Evanilson - he clearly slipped. Not sure why VAR got involved. Unnecessary.

    Total nonsense isn't it. It's like the people at Stockley Park haven't only not every played football, but they've never walked or run anywhere either.

    Absolutely pathetic decision to overturn that in my view. It's clear that Evanilson slipped and there was no malice there. And of course the referee didn't have any balls to stick with his decision. **** VAR :emoticon-0159-music

    I think the ref has made some strange decisions but the replay he was shown was a frozen frame of impact which is not representative.

    This is exactly how i feel about Saints next season. Not convinced we are good enoigh to finish above Portsmouth.

    Have Wrexham ever been in the top
    Tier ? Seem to.recall them being there in late 70s or early 80s for one season with Mickey Thomas ? I can still remember when Alan Dicks managed Bristol City in the old division one.

    Never played top tier and only had 4 seasons in the second from 78-82.

    I assume a Championship club with more ambition (and money) will come in for Pompeys Murphy twin in the summer. Very good goals and assists stats this season from the wing playing in a bottom third team.

    Birmingham chairman Tom Wagner on the club’s finances:

    "If our revenue progresses as we expect into next season, which is basically a certainty, we will be the highest revenue-generating club in the Championship ever not receiving parachute payments - and we will be on a par with those receiving parachute payments.”

    Surely that’s total bollocks. How would that possibly be possible?
