Championship: West Brom promoted, Barnsley continues victory at Brentford, as it happened | Football

Sheesh, what a night. In truth, there is no end like a Championship final. Thanks for your company and emails tonight. Congratulations to those of you who support West Brom, Swansea, Barnsley and Luton in particular. Condolences to fans of Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Wigan and Charlton. See you in the playoffs!

Barnsley manager Gerhard Struber He is being interviewed. He is so choked that he can barely pronounce the words.

“This is so … it’s the best feeling right now … [long pause] I have a big heart for my children … sorry, right now I have no words … we work very hard for this, the last few months, and always believing that we can stay in the league. Now it is reality. I am very happy, I am very proud of my children. We will have a great party.

“We were so clear with the ball, so clear without the ball. We play Brentford and they had no chance against us in the first half. My team is a role model for football. “

That was truly a beautiful interview. If you ever fall in love with modern football, just watch the Championship for a moment.

And here’s Griffin Park’s Nick Ames report, where Brentford missed the Premier League and Barnsley diverted a trip to League One in injury time.

“I told you,” says Lee Smith.

Ach, compassion. As Daniel Harris says: hell, bloody football.

“Oh, swell” says Brentford fan Tony Cross. “Now for the play-offs where we have such a good record, it will be fine (cough) Congratulations to West Brom. “

“As a Swansea fan I gave a strangled moan when the fourth goal came in, ”says Craig Foley. “My wife is now giving me a very strange look.”

I shudder to think what noise you made when Stoke’s fourth goal came in.

Here’s the Hawthorns Ben Fisher game report, where West Brom bought a ticket to the promised land.

There are merry scenes in the Hawthorns, with Slaven Bilic hugging and crashing everything that moves. It’s wonderful for the top-tier West Brom, but you must feel like Brentford. If they had won any of their last two games, they would have been promoted to the Premier League. They chose the worst possible time to have a mini blip.

Peep peep! That is the end of an impossibly dramatic football night. This is what it all means.

Promoted Leeds, West Brom

Playoffs Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff, Swansea.

Relegated Hull, Charlton, Wigan (pending appeal; Barnsley finished 21st)

Full Time: Luton 3-2 Blackburn Luton has completed his most famous escape since the days of Raddy Antic and David Pleat. Nathan Jones’ return has accomplished a miracle.

I have never crack, but I don’t think it bothers me now. It can’t be as good as a championship watch from the last day.

How the things are

Promoted Leeds, West Brom

Playoffs Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff, Swansea

Relegated Helmet, Wigan, Charlton

West Brom 2-2 QPR Slaven Bilic is dancing on hot coals at the touchline, telling his team to keep the ball because a draw is good enough.

An incredible twist at Griffin Park! Clark Odor has taken advantage of an open net to give Barnsley the advantage for the second time in the match. Barnsley stays awake and Charlton falls!

Reading 1-4 Swansea That is awesome. Swansea is ahead of Forest on goals scored. There has been a five goal swing in just 25 minutes.

SWANSEA IS IN THE PLACES OF PLAYOFF!

Wigan 1-1 Fulham Kal Naismith’s free kick passes just above the bar. Wigan needs a goal or they are going down (pending an appeal against their 12 point deduction).

“As an eternally pessimistic Brentford fan, this is a new kind of hell, “says Tony Cross.” But if you had told me we’d finish third at the start of the season or when we were 11 points behind the WBA, I would have been bitten by the transfer. “Now you almost feel disappointed “

Almost?!

Brentford 1-1 Barnsley A draw is useless for both sides, so God knows what will happen in the last minutes.

The way things are (I think)

Promoted Leeds, West Brom

Playoffs Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff, Nottingham Forest

Relegated Helmet, Wigan, Barnsley

OBJECTIVE! Cardiff 3-0 Helmet (Room 83) Cardiff is in the playoffs.

And now Forest only has a one-goal mattress! Liam Cullen’s half volley has put Swansea two goals ahead at Reading; if they get one more, they’ll jump to Forest and secure a playoff spot.
