Championship Promotion Battle: Hull City vs Watford, Bristol City vs Crystal Pal

[skilbeck]

One more game is left that defines the premier league for next season. It is the Championship playoff final. West Brom and Stoke have already been promoted and there is one place up for grabs with two teams challenging.

I hope Hull wins as I cannot stand Nick Carle

Hull are the archetypal Championship side though.

Strong, organised, very direct.

Can you imagine the rebuilding needed in the Prem in order to avoid doing a Derby??

i thought it was one off but i dont know

There are 2 legs to the semi finals

 

[skilbeck]

2 legs but away goals DONT count double.

Extra time then penalities

Still fancy Palace to nick it in the away leg but Watford look goooooooooooone

Palace to beat Hull at Wembley and yo yo back to the Prem (most relegated side since Prem was formed, 4 times I think??)

Sigh. Away goals have NEVER counted double. I have a beef with that concept.

Congrats on the survival btw. It was a cracking final day. Only a couple of non-event games and one of them ended up 8-1 just for the sake of being dramatic.
