Posted tonight on owlstalk. They mention their legendary home play off game against us last May.
Last season it was the crowd that carried the team through that game and were the extra man.
Haha. What a cocking bellend. The 'extra man' in that game, wasn't some figurative concept - they strolled it because they had an ACTUAL extra man!
The playoffs are heart stopping but they give you a false perspective on things.
See what happened to Brighton. Couple of playoff failures looked like an Egyptian curse on them but, actually, they were simply building an unstoppable momentum and just happened to have a couple of bad results in a knockout competition two years in a row.
and they seem to have conveniently forgotten David Blunkett's comments about the loudest game he's ever attended - 'force field of noise' - at the Amex.

Last night was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
Can't speak for everyone but I am so happy it's you and not MASSIVE who are in the final. I'm even more pleased that it was Fernando "Oh, this grass looks comfy, I'll have a lie down" Forestieri who missed the crucial penalty.
Everything was perfect.
The much derided Collin Quaner coming on to change the game. Hogg breaking his head and coming back on the pitch like Terry Butcher. Michael Hefele absolutely burying the second penalty. Danny Ward outsprinting everyone in the celebrations.
Even if we don't make the final hurdle, what this team has achieved on a budget similar to Rotherham is inspirational.
Last night was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
Congrats Huddersfield. Well played. I like the look of Hogg.
I thought it was much closer than Wednesday fans thought. I thought early on it would go to penalties as no clear cut chances were created by either side, except the one that Rhodes missed!
Many congrats to you and all your Huddersfield chums. It may be a damned site further away but it's a hell of a better day out than Reading and have always found your lot a friendly bunch so I hope you go all the way. Not been to Town for about ten years, but hope to make it next year!
It's only a shame the champions of Europe aren't there for you to beat in the final, how sweet would that have been?
Brown should have buried that chance in the first half. And the penalty shout was a close one.
Meh it doesn't matter now, we won and we're going to Wembley!!!!
Jonathan Hogg is a ****ing hero.
Congratulations to Huddersfield and best of luck in the final. I think you'll go with most people's best wishes - be nice to see two sides up there who haven't yet supped of the milk and honey.
Actually, thinking about it, I'm going to watch this again. It makes me smile, for some reason.

Leeds missing out was one of the highlights of my season, and it's also good to see Huddersfield do well, but it was Wagner in the wrong when they clashed pitch side.Thanks
Honestly, I'm glad that Leeds aren't involved in this. It would have detracted away from the real story. Monk can keep to his gaslighting playground antics.
