Bournemouth aren’t really a yo-yo team tbh they’ve only been relegated once.
Championship/EFL Play-offs | Brentford Blackpool & Morecambe promoted
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
there's 100% another red left in this game
Was certainly a brave move and now relies on them shutting Brentford out and hoping to skimp through on the goals they already have.
Excellent!
What a finish.
Super spawny finish there.
What the feck even was that 
Looking at the slow-motion there was definitely luck involved in how Janelt got his shot in but Lerma ends up stopping the ball with his tackle and Janelt's contact on his left foot looked perfect.
Can't see Brentford not going on to win this.
Do away goals count in the playoffs?
Edit - No they don't. Tie remains at 2-2.

I really hate the term yo-yo team, very entitled and disrespectful from big teams' fans. But I hope Bournemouth fail here. I hope they stay in the championship until they put out an ad which says: "We're shit because we spent way too much money on Liverpool's trash. If you don't want to end up like us, stay away from Liverpool."
I think it's more about the fans and the sheer lack of excitement that yo-yo clubs tend to bring knowing, from past experience, there's a good chance they'll go down again.
It's different to the Huddersfields, Blackpools, Leeds (sadly), Sheffield United's of this world who bring a charming level naivety mixed with optimism.
I agree it's a bit disrepectful - maybe snobbish.
Teams like Norwich are happy to gain the parachute money when relegated. Their fans obviously aren’t happy to see it happen, but the owners are content. I think they can handle the term. And by definition, it’s true. Norwich and Fulham haven’t spent much more than a season up in a while.
Three great chances for Brentford missed. I’d love to see them come up, but would love to see Pearson in the premier league.
Away goals count after extra time or at the end of the 90?
Brentford lead
3-1 !!!!!
Three one.
Bet Bournemouth wish these games had VAR!
That'd have been ruled out.

Not at all in playoffs.
Brentford #8 looks quite good.
Woodgate should have brought Long on ages ago.
For chasing lost causes in the channels there really isn't many better than Shane Long at this level.

Think that's the first time I've ever seen a keeper get caught offside.
Why is Don Goodman up Bournemouth's arse so much?
They have done it.
It is done.
Has Brentford ever been in the EPL? Seems they were comfortably the 3rd best team in the Championship, and it would be nice to have to some new blood in the league, especially with the very boring norwich and watford already confirmed.
Well deserved from Brentford. Played the better football, hopefully they can hold it together in the final.
Just watched the highlights. Glad Brentford for through. Hopefully this time they finish the job because it would be good to see a new club reach the PL.
also, Begovic is a bit of a tit.

I thought he really embarrassed himself today.
Sunderland comedy incoming.
Fans booed the knee. Which is very surprising considering Sunderlands very open and diverse history.

Well done Brentford, glad they won. I know the final is yet to come but would've been boring all three teams going down last year all coming back up.
Hopefully Barnsley can turn it around against Swansea too. It's always nicer to see a bit more variety in the premier League and of it's not going to Brentford I'd rather it be Barnsley.
The Premier League as its own thing - no they haven't.
They did spend a few years in the top flight. I believe the last time was 1942, though.
Barnsley only spent one season in the top flight and that was in the Premier League era in the 90s. Both would be refreshing teams to see in the top league. Shows that the English pyramid works, despite the parachute payments turning some ex-PL teams into satellites.
Even lower we could see Blackpool back in the 2nd tier, or Lincoln in the 2nd tier for the first time since 1961. Cheltenham and Cambridge back in League One after a decade+ stay out of it. Possibly Newport or Morecambe in League One. Even plucky non league Sutton are on the verge of their Football League debut if they get one more win.
Absolutely love the English football system and I watch lower leagues more than the Premier League these days.
Yeah that would be good to see.
Sunderland 2-2 now.
All level in the Sunderland/Lincoln game. Sunderland now 2-0 ahead and have wiped out Lincoln's advantage.
