Yup I'll be there! Got tickets the day they went on sale lol 

[dje_wba]

I guessed you probably would. I'll be watching, to see which of the two teams Albion will be playing next season.

While I've been to the Toughsheet Community Stadium a number of times I've never been to the Kassam Stadium... yet.

RIP Bolton. Enjoy the Champs, I guess. 

After winning 5-0 6 weeks ago, it seemed like standard football that the overconfident and complacent twats would lose to the guys they beat 5-0. 

Expecting to be stuck in League One (and even Two) for a good 10 plus years now.

Are either of you going to Wembley tomorrow?

What a day! 

Good luck for next season,  will be tough with Wrexham and the 3 from the Championship down. 

I'm sure everyone thinks we'll be the whipping boys but I hope we actually give it a go. 

Cant wait for Bristol City  so we can give our ex manager hell lol

I really hope that our manager is sacked for this showing 

How do you feel about him now?

More than that, you got full power Reading and Wigan too. Might be the toughest L1 of all time. Wouldn't be shocked to get 15th or something.

You won due to Managers, really. Your guy set up to beat Bolton and it worked perfectly. Evatt should've noticed and changed formation mid game but he has no plan B. That's gonna happen a lot next season.

Yeah I forgot about Reading and Wigan. As I say good luck 

I met a few of your fans post game and they seemed friendly,  however there are 2 who attacked my mate in Wembley Park station,  he missed the game due to having to go to hospital.  So I now have a bit of disdain for that.

wouldnt really count them as bolton fans, just thugs

just saw footage of your fans singing bolton get battered everywhere they go instead of celebrating promotion? kinda odd that, we're not one of your rivals.

Think us singing about you getting battered was because you guys were hyping it up as a walk in the park pre game? Not entirely sure though 

[dje_wba]

Muur, it looks like Bolton haven't taken up the option they had to make Zac Ashworth's loan move permanent - would have you like them to sign him permanently?

Was our third choice lb. Would’ve been odd to keep him. For a while he was even 4th choice.

I mean all that was said was we were the faves. Which we were. 3v5 with us having beat you already. 
 

But it’s odd, you guys were celebrating beating Bolton more than having won promotion. Now I’ll be hoping to see you finish bottom. Before that video, there was no reason to dislike.

Well I didn't go to the parade due to finishing work late, from what I've seen it was our players leading it. Maybe something was said? No idea what 

[oufcAD37]

So the league's are all set for next season,  just the Euros to get through then fixture release day at the end of June 

[dje_wba]

Plenty of new away grounds for you to look forward to next season, I expect.

[oufcAD37]

Oh definitely,  my sister and her family live up in Lincolnshire so for definite if doable are Hull, Leeds and the 2 Sheffield clubs, I'd like to do West Brom, I've done Luton, Blackburn,  Millwall and Cov so not fussed about them lol 

[dje_wba]

There's only one team in next season's Championship whose ground I haven't been to - you shouldn't need me to tell you which one.

[oufcAD37]

Would that be us and our 3 sided hell hole? Lol 

[dje_wba]

Des Buckingham now the odds on favourite to be the new Wales manager, apparently.

[dje_wba]

Never mind, Craig Bellamy is now set to be appointed by the FAW.

[oufcAD37]

Yeah randomly loads of people put a bet on Des lol 

[dje_wba]

If he had been appointed as the new Wales manager, would you have been disappointed to lose him? I remember you wanting him to be sacked four months ago.

[oufcAD37]

Hmmm I'm not sure,  difficult one. 

How are we feeling about Sunday? I'm buzzing lol

 

[dje_wba]

I think I'm probably less confident than I was before the final three years ago, but England keep finding a way to get a result without playing particularly well - although they did play better on Wednesday - so hopefully they can pull it off on Sunday against Spain.

[oufcAD37]

I hope we can pull it off too
