    I feel this is deserving of its own thread. It's going to be a very nervous day for a lot of fans. I remember being very nervous even though all we needed to do was beat a relegated Coventry at home. At the top, Hull must beat Cardiff for their destiny to be in their own hands. Watofrd are waiting to pounce on any slip up. I think Watford will finish 2nd for what its worth. Then there's the play offs. The fixture list couldn't be any better. Notts Forest v Leicester! A midlands derby with the winner potentially taking a play off spot and the loser condemned to another season in the Championship. Then there's another derby: Bolton v Blackpool. Freedman has done a fantastic job and a win today will see Bolton into the play offs. At the bottom any 2 teams from 7 will be joining Bristol City in L1 next season. Wolves are all but down though. I am really looking forward to today and my predictions are:

    Promoted: Watford
    Play offs: Hull, Brighton, Palace, Forest.
    Relegated: Wolves, Peterborough.

    Would like to see brighton promoted but only really so we can have a local away fixture. I suppose watford would be good for that reason.

    I quite like Peterborough, despite their manager. Hope they stay up.

    In addition to that, I prefer Watford although I'd fancy Hull to do worse in the PL.

    Wolves will go. With Barnsley, I think.

    I hope Barnsley stay up. I've had a soft spot for them ever since they beat Chelsea in the FA Cup.

    Forest's Billy Davies just held his post-match press conference at 10:45 today. Yep, post-match.

    Said he wouldn't speak to the media after the game, as he has "bigger fish to fry".

    Almunia injured in the warm-up for Watford. 19 year old Jonathan Bond steps in.
