Championship Play-Offs

Why did the Championship season finish so early this year? The Premier League has 3 more weeks and the rest of the Football League a week left. Odd.

I wonder how you Hammers fans feel out there? There are a lot of you. The Play-Off's are all about the form team and are a complete lottery, but that is why we love them. West Ham actually finished the season pretty well but they lost or drew home matches when it mattered. The Hammers meet the team who I feel will be the team to beat in the semi-finals, Cardiff City.

Cardiff haven't lost in ten and proved that they are a good cup team in this season's Carling Cup and this is what we now have, cup ties. In the league both teams won on each others turf.

It is Cardiff's 3rd consecutive time in the Play-Off's but Malky Mackay's first as manager. I hope I am wrong Hammers, but I am backing the Welshmen.

In the other tie relegated sides Blackpool take on Birmingham. First leg ties are this Thursday and Friday.
