    Interesting question, I think this article is more on who he doesn't want to be promoted though and I think you can guess who that is.

    The other sides jostling for the automatic places are Hull and Watford. All one would need to dismiss the former's candidature for the entertainers' job is look at their manager. They say teams are often built in their manager's image, so it's perhaps hardly surprising that Steve Bruce's are the football equivalent of having a nose plastered halfway across a face. A good example was when Hull travelled to Huddersfield a few weeks ago, they played five at the back, and Alex Bruce was one of their midfielders. They set up for a draw, against a team two points above the bottom three, and bagged a 1-0 win thanks to a goal on the break. Oh, and they have the same number of goals as bottom side Bristol City. Negative doesn't cover it.

    Watford on the other hand are a joy to watch. Their form in recent weeks is patchy, but in the likes of Matej Vydra, Nathaniel Chalobah and Troy Deeney they are a quick, young and attacking side who are comfortably the division's top scorers. With 76 goals, they have 19 more than Hull. This is perhaps not surprising given the identity of their manager, everyone's favourite miniature Italian Gianfranco Zola, who only the coldest of heart could not love.


    And so, the verdict. No team is perfect, but if you can get past the loan/transfer jiggery-pokery, Watford should provide the most fun for this widest of Premier League audiences next season, and if you could cope with Holloway last time, then Palace are your team. Just hope Hull don't make it.

    What a load of ****.

    I wonder what his opinion would of been had he watched us against Birmingham. Saying that, he's probably never watched us at all.

    More motivation for the lads.

    Are you sure that's his Twitter, he seems to be a York City fan and the article suggests a Forest fan?

    Just want to make sure, before I threaten to break the ****s legs. <whistle>

    @NickMillerF365 is the correct one I think after double checking! Were on his page does it suggest he supports York OLM?

    Just another jealous knob-head with a chip on his shoulder. It's like water off a duck's back as far as I'm concerned.

    More interestingly the article did make me wonder who would be the best top 3. Obviously we would all love to finish top, Cardiff have earned at least 2nd and their supporters seem pretty decent types, so who would people prefer the other team to be?
    Personally I would like it to be Brighton because:
    Watford have used an unfair advantage that no other club in this league had the chance to emulate.
    Crystal Palace's fans are a bunch of arrogant ****ers.
    Forest's fans are a bunch of arrogant ****ers.
    Leicester are irrelevant, but it's always good to see the big-money-favourites miss out and of course Nigel's demise is a regular source of entertainment.

    I'm with you there Craig, and if I could choose I'd have posh go up instead of Cardiff, could prove some interesting viewing on motd given their record against top sides this season.

    Couldn't bare watching motd if forest went up with west ham, stoke & forest. May as well call it the Aviva premiership rather than Barclays....

    If I could pick any team it would be Derby, mainly because I've got a soft spot for the Clough family, but also because their fans are quite unpretentious given that it's a big club with a good history (Leeds take notice).

    WHO CARES WHAT NIGEL MILLER THINKS ANYWAY.?? I DONT.

    But working to his system then half of the current PL teams are not worthy. The whole piece is nonsense.

    I want us to go up, "the special one" to decide not to go to Chelsea, so Roman nicks Zola as next manager and watford to implode next season and be relegated along with Leeds and Forest.

    Oh and also I want next season us to finish a respectable 10th in the PL and reach a cup final to show twats like this moron and other southern biased, who couldn't even find Hull on a map. In fact thinking about it, it was probably him who was advisor to the X Files on that Classic episode where the ship sailed from Leeds

    The problem is, all the people abusing him on Twitter are giving him exactly what he wants - more clicks on his "article".

    He seems content to be the Samantha Brick/James Delingpole of Championship football - he's just tweeted this: "'Uninformed rubbish'! 'Total crap'! 'Jealous'! '#cock'! This way to read what's been outraging the people of Hull" (followed by a link).

    I'm amazed people can have an opinion on something they know so little about really

    He knows Steve Bruce is manager
    He saw the Huddersfield game
    He knows the stats for goals scored

    We've scored the same number of goals as Brighton.

    That must mean they are boring as **** to watch as well...

    Does he realise when he says Watford would provide the most fun that if it is them because of the rules on loan changes from next season then they will properly have to get rid of most of the team
