WBA v. Villa - Playoff Second Leg Live!

Afternoon, chaps! I'm tuning in a bit late to the WBA v. Villa second leg playoff match to see who will, hopefully, be my beloved Leeds United's opponents in the Playoff Final in a couple of weeks. If you're around and watching, do drop by for a chat.

The Baggies are, of course, without the services of Dwight Gayle this evening after his shenanigans in the first leg got him a red card and a suspension.

Let's hope that we don't have to gut it out tomorrow. I'm hoping for a simple 2-0 win at Elland Road for the Mighty Whites.
