This small club is on the brink of being promoted to the EPL. They are my new favorite club.

Too bad, though, they let it slip through their fingers, losing three in a row (with a win in any of those games to get them promoted). The third loss, on the day you posted (against Fulham) sealed the choke.  
Apparently their “BMW forward line” have become Premeir-level players who might find themselves in that league sooner than they thought, though.
