    Fookin' hell, margins were thin today. Wolves were 1 goal away from the playoffs.

    So, according to my calculations that makes:

    Watford vs Hull
    Crystal Palace vs Bristol City

    Hull and Palace are the teams with the most momentum, but I fancy a Watford vs Palace final.

    I <3 the Championship! :pac:

    As far as I am aware, the team that finishes third in the league table at the end of 46 games has an abysmal record in the playoffs so I wouldn't expect Hull to progress.

    Yeah, if memory serves Derby are one of the only teams to do it in recent years.

    Wouldn't mind Hull coming up though, they seem pretty ambitious. Phil Brown would probably get a bit to spend. AFAIK they tried to sign Christian Vieri last summer!

    Judging by his performance against Rangers, it's a good thing they missed out on him!

    That trend may be reversing though. For the past 2 seasons, both Watford and Derby finished 3rd and were promoted!
    I honestly don't mind which of the 4 playoff teams makes the big league...I'm just delighted that Wolves failed!:D

    B-b-b-but they have all those wonderful Irish players. You should be out buying their jersey and bringing the kids over to see them.

    Leiecester just denied a stonewall.

    Thats the trouble with reading the text commentary! That was never a penalty!

    COTS! I f*cking love this league. 3 points seperated the 7 teams from 22nd upwards in the end.

    missed the final days action but what a fantastic season this was, pisses over the Premiership for entertainment value left right and centre!

    congrats to West Brom, Stoke and Nottingham Forest on their promotions this weekend. unfortunately unless Stoke get some serious investment i can see a Derby County-esque for them next season...
