What are your predictions for the Championship playoffs?. I really think Brighton will make into the final and Beat Leicester City to make it to the promise land with us.
 
I hope Palace go up just because I think we'd do better than them. But I'd go for a Brighton v Watford final with Watford to win
 
Brighton v Watford final.

Would be close between them, I'd fancy Brighton to nick it, although I'd rather Watford went up
 
I wonder why those stats start in 92 rather than the start of the play offs?

The 89 final would skew their figures, Swindon beating Sunderland 1-0, but Sunderland going up. <laugh>
 
I think Watford have had an easy ride for the last 6 weeks or so, where nobody has expected anything of them and, as their manager has made much out of, it has been others that have been under pressure.

Now, it is Watford's turn to be under pressure. Despite the way they have ****ed up since January, Lesster now find themselves in the play-offs with a bit of form and I fancy them to get a result against Watford tonight. Their main problem is that no matter how "in-form" they are they seem to always find ways to ****-up, so I think who comes out of this with a place in the Wembley final is too tight to call.

As for the other semi, I can't see beyond Brighton. Whether you look at momentum, form or stats they have the advantage over Palace and I expect them to comfortably progress.

So, Brighton it is against either Watford or Lesster, so if pushed I'll go for Lesster.

Then in the final I think the lottery will see Poyet's men take a deserved place in the Premiership next season.
 
I think taking all clubs in consideration , and thinking of how next season will go, I think I want palace to go up. Now before you all shout and scream , its because I don't rate them at all. Yes they will have a similar budget to us, plus the zaha money, and the attraction of being a London club, but they have a poor premiership manager (only managed for one season there) and their star players, Murray bolaise will get found out next season. So that's one team that are in the bottom three next season, I've got to think of two others now!
