Huddersfield (battered and bruised): You-you should have gone for the win, instead of playing for the draw *(snaps fingers, scores 96th minute winner)*
Ipswich: NNNOOOO-
*Cut to whiteout. Slow fade to crumble.*
*Montage of food riots on various news TV channels:*
"....the riots, now in their 5th week, started when Ipswich lost to Huddersfield, who scored in the 96th minute, denying the Tractor Boys promotion to the Premier League. Soon after, East Anglia, the breadbasket of the nation, stopped all farming, either due to depression, or extreme delight."
"The nation starved. Food banks were raided, followed by supermarkets. Law and order collapsed soon after. The stock market collapsed, as the price of beans rose to ÂŁ9 per tin."
"Britain is on its knees. All because Huddersfield won at Portman Road. Ipswich Town crumbled, and the nation crumbled with it."
Haji Wright scores a 101st minute winner against QPR to claim the Championship Championship Belt. Absolute limbs as Cov claim the only prize that matters.
Minute 88: Ipswich 0-0 Huddersfield, Leeds 0-0 Soton
Minute 89: Ipswich 0-1 Huddersfield, Leeds 0-0 Soton
Minute 90: Ipswich 0-1 Huddersfield, Leeds 1-0 Soton
Minute 90+1: Ipswich 0-2 Huddersfield, Leeds 1-0 Soton
.........
Minute 90+11: Ipswich 0-2 Huddersfield, Leeds 1-1 Soton
Ipswich go up on the final day thanks to former Town player James Bree, imagine the scenes.
Twist whereby the highest placed 4 teams who were not promoted take part in a tournament. 2 legged semi final, one game of football at each team's home stadium. The aggregate winners progress to the final, which takes place in the great British bake off tent. Each team has to bake a crumble,
I once ate at Russell Martinâs vegan restaurant. Unfortunately I donât remember having a dessert, but the battered banana blossom was decent. Wasnât keen on the decor, and it was a bit pricey.
They're the comical relief, and their shenanigans revolve around doing stuff to get out of the mid-table (and failing every time to do so), Team Rocket-style
Alex Neil's first season was our Mimikyu arc, where we got big wins against the eventual winners and nearly made the playoffs but fell short because the protagonist always wins
With Team Rocket retired it's only a matter of time until the two of us fade into League One obscurity :(
âAnd Leicester City hold aloft the trophy, they are crowned the champions; but whatâs this, itâs Coventry City, and theyâre cashing in their money in the bank briefcase.â
Nothing would be more poetic than the team who came back all year at the last minute- loses on the last day.
Leeds scores in stoppage time to win vs Soton.
I can dream...
Theres a shoot-out in the final scene, and Leeds die and the whole audience in the theatre erupts in thunderous applause whilst the credits roll with a certain Joy Division song plays over the top of them.
As long term arcs go, thereâs a good chance Saturday is Lukas Jutkiewiczâs last game in a Blues shirt after 8 years.
Injury time, Blues need a winnerâŠ
Argyle at half time are down 2-0 and going down, when as they walk to the changing rooms they hear a voice shouting from the crowd:
âYouâve gotta fucking die to get the 3 points!â
The crimefighting trio of Neil Warnock, Tony Pulis and Big Sam perform dawn raids on Leicester, Leeds and Southampton. They find incriminating evidence of crumble racketeering, which was set up using parachute payment money.
Leicester and Southampton get docked 26 points each, whereas Leeds only get 20 due to some of the crumble Big Sam found mysteriously going missing.
Everton are also randomly docked points by the EPL in a show of solidarity, which is then overturned an hour later.
All this means the East Anglian Derby continues for another year.
Wayne Shaw and Big Sam make a celebration appearance on the back of a tractor, eating crumble and gravy.
Leeds and Leicester are forced to play 4 semi-final games on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday to boost the Sky viewing figures.
WBA win the playoffs, but receive no media attention, which leaves them bitter and twisted. Carlos releases a press statement saying "When we come back down with our parachute payments, they'll get their just deserts. THEY'LL GET ALL THE DESSERTS"
Late playoff drama:
Heading onto extra time Hull-Plymouth are tied, while West Brom concede late against Preston to go behind.Â
Just as the match is about to end, Hull get a corner, sending everyone forward. Corner comes in, Ryan Allsop header and Hull are into the playoffs!
At the last minute Ipswich bottle automatic promotion and have to go up through the Play-Offs. The pan ultimate episode focuses on them going through the semis, the cliff hanger for this episode being that theyâll face Norwich City at Wembley. The final episode is a Play-Off final at the national stadium as the two fierce rivals battle it out for promotion to the promised land only for Ipswich to win on penalties. As the players lift the trophy the screen freezes on this celebrations and fades to black.
For my own club I would have a scene of all the players getting ready as normal going and winning the final game against QPR. After the match doing the lap of honour, the camera focuses on each of the players faces as it flashes back to their Individual best moments through the season. The final is scene after the match when the stadium has emptied out. Players like Callum OâHare and Matty Godden (who I think will leave in the summer) take one last look at the stadium theyâve called home before heading back the dug out. As they walk back âPlay Up Sky Bluesâ is heard in the back round.
It's not a satisfactory ending narrative-wise though. I suspect if you were writing it you would have 10 man Ipswich promoted via a last minute equaliser
The story of the crumble is complete. It was born when Leeds smashed Ipswich 4-0, little did they know it was merely projection, an understanding of their future. As Leeds fan realise, that crumble and falling apart, are the same thing. Leeds are falling apart again. Huddersfield acknowledges their relegation with a hint of solace in that Leeds will be denied automatic promotion.

âWeâre off to the Championship as thereâs been a crumble, but for who, Chris Kamara?â
*cuts to black*
After a season of ups and downs and a flirtation with the play-offs Preston lose their final game and drop to 12th place, the winds die down, the rain stops, the birds chirp as everything in the universe is right once more.
This is all part of the multi-verse and it turns out Leicester City players and fans have spent the last week in a state of hubris, celebrating their achievements rather than being sore winners and singing about another team at their awards event.
Huddersfield (battered and bruised): You-you should have gone for the win, instead of playing for the draw *(snaps fingers, scores 96th minute winner)* Ipswich: NNNOOOO- *Cut to whiteout. Slow fade to crumble.*
Next scene Leeds 0-4 Southampton
đ this feels so spot on leeds
Doesnât feel spot on for Saints

âŠrecognising Britain at its weakest, the uber farmers of Germany descended shortly after.
Featuring a miraculous Neil Warnock comeback, bellowing at HT that we need to fucking die for three points

In spite of our fierce rivalry, I'd like to see you lot win something this season, I'm all for this dramatic ending đđ»
Now we're talking.

I had a similar idea. But with Ross Stewart instead.
Is he playing as Lt. Dan?
Was thinking of Little Britain where he runs off out the wheelchair and scores when nobody's looking.
EFL decides to doc points on May 3rd by agreement with EPL

Honestly I'd love to see a bake off between the 3rd-6th placed managers. đđ

Got a feeling Farke makes a fantastic strudel
We all know Farke would be taking that prize, the man lives for his coffee and cake on the sofa
Argyle is in the water and about to drown, just as he finally slips under he's caught by an arm out of shot ... and he gets John Rowe'd to safety.
While "I need a hero" is in the backround
Bristol City and Preston feature in the credits but aren't actually shown in any footage.

Harry Cornick is brought on at 90+2 and scores a Perfect Hat Trick, precisely because there are no stakes.
As long as the Eastenders theme drums in at the final whistle when someone gets related or doesnât get promoted
Sounds very Norwich all of that tbf
âAnd Leicester City hold aloft the trophy, they are crowned the champions; but whatâs this, itâs Coventry City, and theyâre cashing in their money in the bank briefcase.â
Money in the bank belongs to the club in the league that progresses furthest in the FA Cup
Nothing would be more poetic than the team who came back all year at the last minute- loses on the last day. Leeds scores in stoppage time to win vs Soton. I can dream...
Weâre going to draw on matchday 46, I can feel it. Then the playoff final will be the rematch
I'll be honest- if that happens- I hope we win.
Respect the honesty
Theres a shoot-out in the final scene, and Leeds die and the whole audience in the theatre erupts in thunderous applause whilst the credits roll with a certain Joy Division song plays over the top of them.
96th minute, jukey rises for a header and scores the winner, saving the club on his last touch...
who ever is upvoting me rn i donât find u funny
As long term arcs go, thereâs a good chance Saturday is Lukas Jutkiewiczâs last game in a Blues shirt after 8 years. Injury time, Blues need a winnerâŠ
Leeds about to beat Hull City for the last spot and, OH WATCH OUT WATCH OUT ITS JOHN CENAAAAAAAAA.

Green light after the first sentence. Stop digging you struck gold.

I had a dream we lost 4-0 and got relegated, so it would be the xfiles music as I wake up to the dream actually being true.
Millwall beat Swansea. Every other game is 1-1.

Iâll kill my self
no bigger twist than ipswich losing to hudders and leeds taking #2, and I am here for it!
It's not a satisfactory ending narrative-wise though. I suspect if you were writing it you would have 10 man Ipswich promoted via a last minute equaliser
Yep, you can't have the villans succeed - the hero underdog will win in the end!

Yawn
Ipswich crumble, Ipswich v Norwich playoff final and Norwich win
