aderow Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Is there anyone out there who feels that winning the playoff final to get into the prem is a better feeling than actually winning the prem? What about losing the title race on the last day of the season compared to being relegated on the last day of the season? Im sure that beating/losing to your fiercest rival at the top/bottom for some of you out there? So tell me what do you think are the best/worst feelings in English football? What gives the greatest sense of accomplishment in FM? And what makes you want to not talk to anyone for a week? For me, although I've never been in a playoff, I don't think I could pick between a playoff final win or a premiership title win. I know that winning the premiership means being the best team in England, but there's something just special about the playoffs..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ism-scfc Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 It depends on what type of club you are. If your Arsenal or Chelsea, probably not. But if you're Accrington Stanley (or Blackpool for that matter ), just getting into the prem is a massive achievment, and there are few better feelings.

Danny Dire Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 As a West Ham fan losing the playoff final was worse than being relegated. I can accept being relegated because we just weren't good enough dispite going down with the most points ever. But when we lost the playoff final I thought all year it has built up to this disappointment of being so close yet so far form being promoted.

safcrhys Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Staying up on the final day of 08/09 whilst watching Newcastle get relegated is up there for me. Worst feeling is obviously getting relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Losing the Championship play off final with Notts County in the last minute against Forest was pretty hard to take.. IRL.. Notts v Luton a few years ago knowing it could our last ever game.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I remember I was gutted when charlton got relegated.....again..... The only lower league I've ever managed was shrewsbury and I lead them to automatic promotion so I didn't need to suffer through the playoffs.

killakerr Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 3 attempts and 3 defeats in the play offs is devastating, It's hard being a Forest fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMysterio Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Woah Killakerr, don't come around here talking about play off heart ache! Disregarding this season Leeds United had unsuccessfully been in the playoffs 3 times in 4 seasons, (2 finals)... the other season we were relegated! The worst feeling in football is (unfairly) being deducted 25 points for going into administration (more than any other club). The best feeling is being top at Christmas after starting the season on -15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosson Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Playoff victories, without a doubt. I have some real epic ones. Most recently with York, when I was cruising the BSP only to cack up the last seven games. Won 5-0 in the semis against league top scorers Stevenage and then scraped through 11-10 on pens in the final against Oxford (a game in which I got slaughtered incidentally). In Holland (I know we're talking England but sod it) with RBC Roosendaal I ended up in the relegation playoff after my first top flight campaign, got dicked on 3-0 by Sparta of the second tier in the semis 1st leg, took them back to my place and beat them 4-0, somehow invoking a replay (the Dutch have weird promotion/relegation rules, great fun league to play in though). Won the replay comfortably, then won the first leg of the final 3-1 away, only to contrive to throw it away by going 3 down in the second leg before winning the tie 7-5. Absolutely incredible, I was out of my chair screaming on both occasions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
