    I fancy Norwich & Bournemouth. It's a vintage year though.

    Think Watford will finally get past the final hurdle personally.

    No idea about the other two though, way too close to call. Bournemouth and Boro if I had to pick.

    Think Wigan and Millwall will remain in the bottom 3 anarl and join Blackpool.

    I've said it numerous times, but that Troy Deeney looks an awesome player. I wish we had signed him. He'll be brilliant for Watford if they make the PL next season.

    My new neighbours (father and son) are Narch fans. It's gone from a day out at Carrow Road, for all of us, <cheers> to a situation where we could be passing like ships in the night. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Meanwhile, in league 1, 3 points separate 15th - 22nd, with 21st-24th going down. Reckon that's going to throw up some interesting results over the next few weeks.

    Was very impressed with Watford today, with strikers like they have firing at this time of the season they look good to me to go up.

    I agree. With the firepower they've got, and relatively easy fixtures remaining, I reckon Bournemouth and Watford will clinch automatic promotion. Then it's toss a coin for the play-off winner.

    Rotherham docked 3 points for playing an ineligible player. Now only 1 point above Millwall and 2 above Wigan.

    Just gave both those teams something to fight for in their last two games (Rotherham have a game in hand).

    Both Millwall and Wigan have terrible final games though - probs won't make a difference.

    I still think Bournemouth will win the league, Watford will join them in the Premier League and I think Boro will come up through the play offs.

    The current bottom 3 will drop, because Rotherham are going to beat Leeds on the final day.

    I think Watford will win the league, currently winning away at Brighton. They look a really good side, shame we never signed Deeney.

    One down, two to go....

    Congrats to Watford on promotion to the Prem. Since we pipped them to the post I've wanted them to come up.

    Bournemouth basically need to win one of their final two to join the top flight.

    Millwall throw away the 3 points against Derby and Rotherham snatch a draw against Norwich so it's as you were at the bottom.

    Phil Brown has Southend into the autos in league 2 and Hartlepool have managed to turn their season around and relegate Tranmere and Cheltenham with a game to spare. Jeff will be happy with that.

    Well done Watford. I'm looking forward to seeing how Troy Deeney gets in the PL, I'm one who thinks he might not be up to it.

    Well it's looking rather rosy for Bournemouth.

    3 zip up.

    They've really hammered some teams this year as well.

    They remind me of the Blackpool team that came up a few years ago, very attacking. Will be interesting to see if that exuberance in their play can last in the Prem.
