    There were reports that a play off final win from the championship to the premier league is worth about 90 million for the winner, thats £1m a minute .

    Is Fridays game against Reading worth more than 3 points.

    If there is a winner do you think they are virtually gauranteed promotion?

    Thats a lot of pressure for all involved.

    Reading lost it when it mattered to them against Swansea last year but rose to the task of beating the Hammers on their own patch last week.

    Will this all lead to a nervous draw and we will all be non the wiser come Saturday morning

    One game at a time and cross off each point.

    If we win against Palace and Reading I would be so happy. I would even let my West ham supporting gf wear her West ham shirt in my flat for the first time <laugh>. I can see West Ham slipping up against Brum so these next two games are mssive.

    The figure seems to go up every year, I'm sure the play-off final used to be the "£30m game". If we come out of that and are still three points ahead of West Ham, I will be delighted.

    Can only see you going up as Champs tbh. Reading are feeling a little battered and bruised after Good Friday....

    Although I don't want to see players injured, I'm hardly crying myself to sleep at you guys injuring Karacan.

    We need to be in PL to support a side like Southampton. Investment has been made in this side to achieve that aim. Although we are ahead of schedule and the financial guy (forgotten his actual position) said we've spent less than they thought to get in our present position, there is no guarantee we will get a repeat of this year if we stay in the Championship.
