Is this whole thread about you trying to justify your bad planning?

Do you really think I plan my life around football? :)

I know I'm pathetic but come on.

Liamobey is clearly just an attention seeking filthy whore bag and shouldn't be given any more of our valuable* time.

If you don't want to go, fine, but there's no need to tell us all why. We really couldn't give a sh*t what you do, and the fact people like you wouldn't go is probably a good thing.

We best get the Green Man again. That'll be awesome. However if QPR are in it, I don't think we will (I think we will play them in the Semis). If Derby are in it, its probably 50/50 but we should get that pub over Wigan and their 15 fans

Because mummy and daddy are on holiday and they will not let little Liam stay in the house on his own yet.

To me, The Championship Play Off Final is one of the most exciting, interesting and unique games in club football anywhere in the world.

Buried just beneath the surface of the mainstream cups and assorted finals - high stakes 'winner takes all game', big crowd, played at one of the most famous venues on the planet, one-off game at the end of a long season, an opportunity for less fashionable clubs and fans to experience what a huge pressure cooker game in front of massive attendance is all about, you just can't explain the scale of the game and day out to your non football friends and family as they wish you good luck, butterflies in your stomach, tense feelings which even the most solid of personalities gets affected by, you have to get reasonably pissed to help even out both potential outcomes - the horrible despair of losing or unconstrained thrill of winning. In!

Clearly my apathy as a Reading fan ends at the tip of my Sky remote.

Sorry for upsetting you.
I'm not looking for any attention.
It's not that i don't want to go....I'm on HOLIDAY
I was just wondering if anyone else would be missing it and if they were not all that bothered by the fact.

I didn't say "Nobody should go. What's the point?" did I?
It's an open question (I learnt about open questions in my telesales job)

This.

The Swansea one was immense, even with the final result. And, well, you can take defeat because there's always going to be another go at it.

If itall works out as it stands at the moment I'll miss the semis as I'll have just had chemo before the home leg and I'll never go to Loftus road

When we overcme Harry's expensive flops though I'm well in for the final, last time was a right good day out

Schards#2 Desperately want us to get promoted, as being in the prem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being in the champ

Also love watching us in high profile games

An obvious, unconditional IN



Bit of a dilemma for you when Reading play City though.

wally bassoon My ideal season at the moment culminates in a play off final loss.

The prem is not that enjoyable, get a good day out on the pi$$ at Wemberley and the club make a lot of money.

So in, if we get there.


This is absolute madness. Whether we'll be shit in the Premier League or not, surely you want to see what it's like to win a play-off final? If we get there, we'll lose in the final anyway, but yes I will go.

I think I'm developing some awful Pavlovian response to tragic failure in play off games

1995 - obvious
2001 - Best. OG. Ever.
2003 - Forster's injury in the first leg, Pardew Tactical Genius in the second
2009 - Bikey vs the bee
2011 - Rodgered

The very thought of some tragic failure is making me salivate.

Maybe Danny Williams will score what he thinks is an americanesque "walk -off-in-overtime" golden goal and go batshet mental, only to discover that we have to carry on playing due to some ridiculously old and boring tradition.

liamobey I've been to 3 playoff finals.

The second one in Cardiff hurt more than the first.
The Dido song "Thank You" montage at the end of the highlights I taped, bringing me to floods of tears every time. Cureton's little smiley face after scoring the first. The Darren Caskey unused sub incident.....and I still don't know what Pardew was doing starting Jimmy McIntyre.
Anyway. The first Wembley I was a bit too young for it to really hit me, and I was way too excited about the new yellow goalie top than I was about the game in the end.
The last Wembley one just made me numb......I was back at Paddington by final whistle, tbh. Chasing the booze.

I will not be going this year if we make it. I'm glad to say that I'll be on holiday. I am not going to anymore games this season and it's pointless going to the semi's because if we do make the final I won't be able to go.

Just wondered if anyone else is in this situation and if anyone's just satisfied watching the games on TV these days?
