Championship Playoff Final, 3pm K/O, SS1

GavRedKing

Whoever wins gets the golden ticket tot he EPL, its labelled the richest game in world football. (skys marketing department are great at this)

Boro face Norwich in the final which is played today at 3pm, its a bank holiday in England today hence the k/o time.

Boro have beaten Norwich twice this season already but have never won at Wembley.

I do fancy Boro will get the job done but it be a cracking game.

Can't wait for it. We beat them 4-0 at home at 1-0 away but those games mean nothing. Hopefully Bamford is fit enough to play today as he didn't play in the second leg against Brentford, luckily we didn't need him

Norwich: Ruddy, Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson, Redmond, Howson, Tetty, Johnson, Hoolahan, Jerome


Middlesbrough: Konstantopoulos, Whitehead, Gibson, Ayala, Friend, Adomah, Leadbitter, Clayton, Tomlin, Vossen, Bamford

How many times will "richest game in football" get a mention?

GavRedKing

Small flutter on Boro to win both halves.

Both teams have hit the bar now!

That_Guy

Both teams hitting the bar in a matter of minutes. What a start.

Cracking technique from Vossen.

That_Guy

Calm and cool finish.

Johner

Awful defending.

paulie21

Cool from Jerome

Jerome scores. Keeper was poor there, composure from Jerome.

Boro need a miracle now.

That_Guy

Superb play from Norwich in that build up. What a start.

Johner

Too easy.

GavRedKing

Boros hoodoo at Wembley isnt letting up.

Johner

This could get ugly if Boro don't get a foothold in the game soon.

Did the commentator just say Middlesbrough have been in London for the last 3 days? Jesus that's a holiday. A long time to be in a hotel before a big game like this.

That_Guy

Norwich's control and passing is brilliant. Look very calm and composed. Boro on the other hand have shít the bed at the final hurdle.

Yeah, I think they were at one of the Playoff games over the weekend.

and yet they managed to get caught in traffic and arrive late to the ground. They may have been better off setting off from Middlesbrough first thing this morning

Johner

Ayala is having a shocker.

DVDM93

Yeah lads, and I'd imagine they done so to get settled in to the occasion and used to their surroundings, in Wembley too.

Seems to have done quite the opposite.

Lovely Bloke

This game always has shocks, wouldn't be surprised for it to be 3-3 at 90mins

Former Nowich player too. Seems to have been on loan to half the teams who have been promoted or in contention to be promoted recently too. Hull and Derby included after his spell with Liverpool. He should be used to it :P

keeponhurling

Impressed by Wessi so far

next goal is crucial, let's see if boro can come back in to the game

Johner

Boro have been awful.

keeponhurling

Cameron Jerome put in a serious shift, Boro will be glad to see him going off

Johner

Ayala should have done much better, free header.

Guy:Incognito

Let's be avin' you (in the premier league) Norwich.

OldRio

Well done Norwich but I'm gutted as a Boro fan. 5 times at Wembley. 5 defeats.

The_Kew_Tour

Fancied Boro before the game but fair play Norwich.
