    Palace vs Watford tomorrow, estimated to be a £60m match. But who do you think will win? As much as I think it would be good to see Zaha take Palace into the Premier League I have a sneaky feeling for Watford taking it 2-1 into extra-time. Would love to see Holloway back in the top flight though, complete madman.Which teams will have the best chance to stay up if any. Cardiff (look what Swansea have done), Hull City (Not long been out of PL so will be fresh in the memory of knowing what went wrong) or Palace/ Watford???

    I thought it was "the £120 million match", Anyway Holloway was a breath of fresh air in the Prem with Blackpool with that attacking style, with Palace it look more tactical and better defending, Watford have quite a few loan players so if they win it will be an interesting summer for them. Hoping for a good game.

    I had heard it reaches that finger if they stay in the premier league in that 1st season. Anyway Watford I hear have about 35% of their playing staff are loans, that's mental, if they go up I wouldn't know if they would have enough staff to cope.

    I think Hull have the best chance of the 3 to stay up.

    Guaranteed £55 million TV money from one season in the PL, plus over £60 million in parachute payments over four years if they are relegated. So at least £110 million even if they finish bottom next season with no points.

    Can't say I'm that fussed either way, but it would be good to have Holloway back in the PL. Would love to see the quotes if he had a falling out with Mourinho <laugh>

    I'm struggling to think what Watford done wrong?

    No one was complaining when they were losing at the start of the season..

    Does seem to take the piss a bit when their owner has loaned 11 players from one club to another to try and chase the financial rewards that come from promotion. Particularly when the loaning club is one of the top clubs in Italy. Don't you think there'd be a bit of outrage if Utd loaned 11 of their players to a club in the Championship, then the Glazers made a massive profit from that club getting promoted?

    It's within the rules, but it seems like a ridiculous loophole to say that you can't do it with two English clubs, but to do it with an English club and a foreign club is fine. Sounds like the league are going to close to loophole next season, so obviously more than one person thinks it's taking the piss.

    Yeah it was pretty dire. You have to feel that if Glenn Murray hadn't been injured Palace would be a premier league side right now, they really should have put at least one of their chances away.
