    Really pleased for the Bees fans. Seeing them celebrate reminds me of the Bradford game. They are a small, friendly, well run club. Most of their supporters probably thought they would never see this happen. They've had rotten luck in previous play-offs. Good luck to them in the prem. Just wish it was us.

    It's my opinion mate.

    Swansea are no different to any other team. Can't see why they're being picked out. Did you see an obvious difference between them and Brentford today, in terms of trying to "cheat"? I didn't, stuck in my self righteous bubble..

    I could work up a head of steam about how Swansea are advantaged by the money they get to spend. S'abart it though.

    Do you think we were cheated in the play offs? I don't. However I note that the usual suspects who consider that to say anything less than complimentary about BFC is treason, think that we were. They always do.

    (btw I certainly don't watch highlights programmes).

    My opinion earlier on was that in this game it was not a sending off. The usual suspects thought it was. Because it's Swansea. All the experts agree with me. That's how my opinion is bringing others down?

    We need to put away the blinkers when we watch football. We all want BFC to win every time, but that should not be used as an excuse to lose a grip on reality.

    Just my opinion though.

    Now they have failed to win promotion and will no longer have parachute payments to help run the club, it'll be interesting to see how Swansea adapt for 2021/22. I'm not saying they can't or won't, but they'll certainly be faced with more challenges.

    3rd played 4th in the final, and 3rd won. Can’t say fairer than that really.

    I just think they are a bit crap and very lucky to be honest.

    Well reffed game I thought Cabango and Guehi got away with nowt, unlike semis, and neither did Toney. Well done Chris Kavanagh.

    After seeing the 2nd semi and that final I think I gave Swansea more credit as a team with some class players than they deserved.

    Looked as though Ayew was saying goodbye to the Swans fans at the end of the game.
    Woodman back to Newcastle, Hourihane back to Villa. Agree HH, rebuilding job on a
    limited budget on the cards.?

    Good for Brentford. Better footballing team. Swansea deserved to beat us over two legs - they had a tad more class up front and marginally tighter at the back. However, when faced with teams that move the ball and work their defence Swansea look 'average'. With a rebuilding job to do they may struggle with the same tactics next season. If they had gone up they would have course have got lots of pennies but with that team and tactics they would have been hammered.

    Maybe quote “those on here” have an opinion too about the shithousery of Swansea and I’d say it would be a little more valid being as they have seen more of Swansea than you .
    Just my opinion .

    Really don’t get all this cheating stuff and we lost because of refs. We lost because we were crap in the playoff semis. Terrible in both first half’s and only a bit better in the seconds. Swansea were there for the taking but we weren’t good enough. If we had been a goal up we would have wasted time like mad (cheated apparently if Swansea do it). We have done it all season especially Collins and I’ve seen the same folk on here Raving about our own sh1thouse tactics
