[Football] Congratulations to Huddersfield

[DavidRyder]

For a team supposedly doomed from the start, they deserve congratulations for staying up. Like ourselves, a tough last few games, and like us, they have surprised a lot of people and got the points they need. I know how I felt on Friday, and for the days since, so I imagine they will be absolutely buzzing!

Similar season to us with ups and downs. Glad they got over the line.

Humility goes a long way in football and from the fans I met they have it in abundance, which makes them the odd ones out in Yorkshire.

Have they made 5/6 signings yet?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Yes, well deserved, and many congratulations.

We now have to figure out how to beat them

Very true. A most un-Yorkshire-like lack of misplaced arrogance.

Hmmm. I'd like to join in but frankly I'd rather they'd gone down and Swansea had stayed up. Absolutely nothing against them as a club, but we never seem to play well against them. We got six points off Swansea!

All three promoted teams stayed up. It’ll be like being in the Championship next season with Wolves, Cardiff and the play off winner.

So yes, a big congratulation to Huddersfield. Pleased they did it.

Happy for them. It's easier to sympathise when a clubs fans and the pundits don't constantly whine about being them being a massive sleeping giant whose fans deserve premier league football.

Yes indeed - interesting how "smaller" clubs (BHAFC, Burnley, Watford etc) seem to be able to survive in the Prem despite the huge disparity in resources compared with the bigger clubs.

And yet, many of the traditional bigger clubs (e.g. Sheff Wed, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth) languish in the lower leagues.

Seems to me the key is that, to survive in the Prem, a club has to be very well run from top to bottom, and that recruitment, especially player recruitment is absolutely essential. In hindsight, our player recruitment could not have gone much better.

To survive in the PL, a good manager is paramount, the exception being Watford.

to be fair they have had some good managers but poor owners .

Lets have city beat Southampton 6-0 and Swans to win 4-0

Congrats to Huddersfield. Enjoy our away games there apart from the interruption of 90 minutes football.

Also to all the so called experts that said both teams would drop like a stone:

Yeah wished they'd gone as tend to be our bogey team these days. Though must admit they deserve to stay up

They are a sleeping giant however like Brighton they have beaten the odds so fair play to you both

I think this is a myth of our own creation.

Our last 6 fixtures: W2 D2 L2

Our last 12: W4 D6 L2

So yes, a big congratulation to Huddersfield. Pleased they did it.

And all 3 promoted teams kept faith in their manager.

I don’t know why I dislike Hudds so much...oh yeah...they are impossible for us to beat, Wagner gives me the creeps and they’re boring to watch.

And they play in blue and white stripes.

And Mooy.
