Brentford-Swansea in the play-off final, the £160m game as it's being billed.

This is a tough call, but I'll go with Brentford to finally end their playoff hoodoo, 2-1 to the Bees.

Then City-Chelsea to follow in the evening, City are rightly favourites, but Chelsea seem to have their number especially under Tuchel, I go with Chelsea to edge it 2-1 after ET, and yet more CL heartbreak for City and Pep.

If I'm right in my estimates then West London will be partying like crazy over the BH weekend. Well Manchester and South Wales will be drying their tears.

Swansea then Citeh.

I'm going for brentford to keep it the English prem league, and City will be far to good for Chelsea.

City in the billionaire kick about

I absolutely knew the 2nd post on this thread would be the total opposite of the original poster.

Thats this board in a nutshell

Brentford should be too much
City will comfortably beat chelsea

It's the Bundesliga play-off second leg too with Holstein Kiel 1-0 up against Köln. I should be able to sneak that one in between our play-off and the Champions League final.

Brentford (hopefully)
Champions league Arabian oil money.

I’ve been past the new ground a few times. How they managed to build that in that space and in that location, I don’t know. I hope they do it - I quite like how they’ve gone about things. They’ve spent a bit but they’ve unearthed some good players along the way.

Whilst Chelsea have had the better of City over the last couple, I reckon they’ll lose the one that really matters.

Would rather visit Brentford than Wales for the away weekend, but there's no way either
Swansea or Brentford will get out of the bottom three all season without huge (for them) investment.

And we’d forgotten the last day of the National League. I’m watching Wrexham who are losing 1-0 and on the verge of losing their play off place.

Swansea losing the plot - could have had at least one player sent off and also gone 1-0 down to a pen

2-0 Brentford

Bees on fire.

No stopping them this time their on there way to the Premier league

Close to 3-0

Crikey, the occasion has completely got to Swansea who are normally very solid.

Looks like it’s Brentford’s time.

Totally agree. Probably should have been down to ten before the penalty incident and another ref would have also sent the keeper off.

Must be horrible as a fan to be at a play off final and see your team 2-0 down so early.

At least Brentford won’t sell Toney to a relegation rival now

Naughton must hate the play off final!

Swansea stealing yards at every throw in

I clearly meant a rival to them, not us

Swansea manager said after their play off win last week that he would be going straight home and be on his laptop studying Brentford. Might have been better enjoying a beer or two before embarking on his master plan to beat Brentford.

He got it badly wrong changing his usual system which he’s now gone back to.

Any Swansea players worth looking at assuming they don't turn it around ?

Brentford deserve promotion. Good luck to them, but not at our expense

I think either defence could struggle in the PL as they are.

Swans down to 10 men, poor challenge.

Fulton off. Unlucky as I think he was trying to get across him to block a clearance but can’t see what else the ref could do with only one viewing.

started as a slip, unfortunate

Was unfortunate and he wasn’t helped by the Brentford player rolling around

on today's performance I'm not seeing much to worry about with Brentford

Brentford will fit right in in the Prem with all this rolling about.

Very little quality from Brentford (only watched 2nd half) and a lot of "gamesmanship"

I know a few people on here wanted us to go in for Toney but watched a few Brentford games lately and not seen much in him either

This has been a woeful effort by Swansea, no shot on target I think, hapless.

It’ll be interesting to see who Brentford bring in and how they use or adapt their model for Premier League standard signings.

Won’t they? I think they’ve been shocking with it.

I think VAR should have been used for a game of this magnitude!
Never a sending off.

It was a two footed challenge from behind, high and nowhere near the ball how are people debating that it’s not a red

Plenty of animals in the PL next season. Foxes, Eagles, Wolves, Magpies, Seagulls, Canaries and now Bees.

Have I missed any?

Edit. Oh, Hornets.

Odd to see small unfashionable Brentford on the big league!

A good day for football.

I know they have a new ground, however, Griffin Park was my first ever 'away ground' as a wee lad. Brentford v Reading on the coach. Taken by my sisters 16 year old boyfriend.

If anyone has BT Sport put on the Bundesliga relegation/promotion play off. 5 mins in it is Kiel 1-2 Koln, 2-2 on agg.

Crystal Palace can now bugger off and make Steve Cooper their manager now.

Barnes

Looking forward to our trip there next season. Guy I know through work is a Brentford fan. Group of 8 go to games, they had 6 tickets for today. The others are season ticket holders so he missed out. Was going round the pubs see if anyone had a spare ticket. Hopefully he got one, won't know until I see him next Saturday.
