So, what game are people watching tonight?

Europa League final or the Championship Play Off semi?

Europa League final for me, the La Liga games have averaged 3 goals a game so hopefully it will be an open and flowing game of football.

Gora Athletic!!

Neither :lol: although there are no prizes for guessing who I want to win the latter :lol:

Blackpool v Birmingham City
'Bonkers' Ian Holloway v Chris Hughton (a real football man) Hard to call, but would prefer either of the clubs to meet and beat WHUFC at Wembley, nothing against The hammers, just self styled 'Greatest Manager in his own mind' Sam Allardyce, just remind me what he's actually won in his 'fantastic' career again :|

Most important TV show of the evening, sadly I'm watching this through SkyGo due to not having SkyTV on hand. COME ON YOU BLUES!

I'd much prefer blackpool to come up out of the 4 teams who started in the playoffs, mainly for Ian holloways press conferences!

Can't say I'm not disappointed but brilliant match nonetheless from both sides. Must of been the most exiting 2nd half all season. We didn't deserve to win even if it was due to our shocking 1st half.

Not ever. Not now. And never will be
Better than Villa! :p

Forgive my saying this XCDriver, but were they not better when you first started supporting Villa? They were one division ahead of you for a fair few years, and were promoted to the First Division when you were promoted to the Second Division...

Ah well, better luck next year.

We could be in the Midland Combination Div 2 and we would still be THE club in Birmingham.

Shame that for Hughton and Birmingham as wanted them to come up. Just hope Blackpool beat West Ham in the final as that will make me so happy.

As I understand it there was an agreement when Small Heath were founded that neither them nor the Villa would take the name Birmingham.

I could be talking out of my backside though
