Looking forward to finding out who our final opponents are going to be next season.I've always rather liked Ollie and the fact that Watford seem to have bought/borrowed their way to the play offs makes me favour Palace.Watford are favourites with the bookies.These games are definitely a lottery though,both in terms of the chances and the winnings.
I am firmly in the Watford camp, they play attractive entertaining football, have a gentleman as a manager, and despite all other club's claiming they've used a "loophole" to cheat, have NOT broken any rules, so all this posturing and gesturing is nothing more than jealousy that they didn't think of it first! Talking of loopholes, Olly sold his best player to Man Ure and then took him back on loan till the end of the seas
I would not dispute that but I would hazard a guess that this "loophole" is going to be plugged, which would be admission that it was not in the spirit of the game, another call being made by many.
Apparently the FL were going to plug the gap but have been petitioned not to by ALL Championship chairmen!
If Watford falter at the final hurdle, the lad Vydra looks like he'd make a decent foil for van Winkelsberger
Watford for me. Although when Holloway first went into management, he was a breath of fresh air, and his interviews were entertaining. He seems, to me now though, to concentrate more on being outspoken, controversial, and trying to be funny, more than being a manager. Also, and more importantly for me,I dislike Palace with a passion. One Andy Johnson springs to mind as being one of the reasons. Call me petty and vindictive, but there it is. I can't stand palace, and if they were to lose, I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Plus, the last time we played Watford at Carrow rd, we lost. We ended up 2nd that year. An omen?
Maestro, you are petty and vindictive . Ollie has done it before. And he learns from experience. I hear he has arranged for bouquets of flowers and a crate of champagne to be delivered to the Watford dressing room pre-match ........
So they will be at it next season? The Championship will need to re-branded to La Liga/Bundesliga/Serie reserves - delete as appropriate. Must confess to be a bit surprised to read that Dave
Palace for me.. A nice little London derby for us and I don't like the way Watford have bought all their players on loan who will all jog on come the end of the season! Can't have Udinese in the Premier League! Plus Selhurst is a better atmosphere, they have better away fans and it's a good day out
Don't like Palarse and Holloway is a fecking clown not only that, the've been a bit of a bogey team for us. Prefer Watford to go up then we have a genuine excuse to wear our away kit
Wanted Watford to win it never mind though. What did you all think to Wilbraham? Didn't see the full game but from what I saw I don't know what Lambert saw in him.
I'm absolutely gutted for Watford, bad enough to lose, but to lose to that tosser"Look at me, I'm a clown, I loove to be centre of attention" Hollowhead, just makes it a very bitter pill!
Didn't watch the game but was following it on the BBC site, by the sounds of it Wilbraham could and should have had a hat-trick in normal time Look on the bright side, if Holloway sets Palace up to play the same way he had Blackpool playing then that will be one of the three relegation places gone before the season starts
Much as I don't like them, I'm pleased for palace, although as said Wilbs should have had a hat trick, I think he was clean through twice. Much as it's not against the rules, I think it's against the spirit of the game to have a team consisting mainly of loanees from abroad. Not plugging that gap means I'm sure others will consider being the B teams to rich clubs.
I know it's way too early to make any sort of prediction, but I have to say I'm not really that worried about Hull and Palace in the premier league next season, think they will struggle. Cardiff I feel will be ok.
