Championship Playoffs - Who's Going Up?

I started this thread 4 years ago, and got slagged off, en route to a Palace Promition :innocent_smile_1:

So who's going up this year? Palace (strangely enough) are the favourites at 2/1, which gives me confidence, but also makes me a bit nervoue that we'll **** it up like we did against Watford in '06.

Come on, pick a side. I'll even give you some useless stats:

Head to head
PHP: 
Team                W   D   L   F   A   GD   Pts
Bristol City        2   3   1   5   5    0     9
Hull City           2   2   2   7   5   +2     8
Crystal Palace      2   2   2   7   6   +1     8
Watford             2   1   3   4   7   -3     6

Including Cups, Watford also beat Palace 2-0

Unbeaten Runs:
1st: Palace have had a 15 match run, and a 10 match run this season.
2nd: Watford had a 10 match run (including 5 straight wins), and an 11 match run (including 7 consecutive draws) this season.
3rd: Bristol started the season on an 8 match run then lost 3 straight, had another 8 match run, and a 6 match run this season.
4th: Hull have had two 6 match runs, and two 5 match runs this season.

Against the top two (West Brom and Stoke):
PHP: 
Team                W   D   L   F   A   GD   Pts
Crystal Palace      1   2   1   5   6   -1     5
Hull City           1   2   1   5   6   -1     5
Bristol City        1   1   2   4   7   -3     4
Watford             0   3   1   1   4   -3     3

Against the Premier League (useless stat i know):
PHP: 
Team                W   D   L   F   A   GD   Pts
Hull City           1   0   1   1   4   -3     3    Beat Wigan 1-0, Lost to Chelsea 0-4
Crystal Palace      0   0   0   0   0    0     0
Watford             0   0   0   0   0    0     0
Bristol City        0   0   2   2   4   -2     0    Lost to Middlesbrough and Man City, both 1-2

Offence:
1st: Hull: Scored 5, and scored 3 seven times.
2nd: Watford: Scored 3 eight times.
3rd: Bristol: Scored 3 five times.
4th: Palace: Scored 5, scored 4, and scored 3 twice.

1st: Palace: Conceded 3 once.
2nd: Hull: Conceded 4 once, and conceded 3 three times.
3rd: Bristol: Conceded 6 to Ipswich :eek: , conceded 4 once, and conceded 3 twice.

I voted Hull. No, I don't know why. I do like Palace more than the other teams, and I can't explain that either...

Be nice to see Hull or Brizzle go up, but Palace are so bolted on here. Well managed, Morrison is on fire and I love their band of youngsters.

I hope they don't come up, but they will.

I choose Hull because I like the colour orange.

Well not really but it would seem to contrast the other teams well.

I voted for Hull also, my second would be Bristol City, would be good to see new teams in the Premiership.

I am going for Hull but still will prefer Bristol City's double promotion.....

We apologize for keeping the yellow too long
Yellow Card
Crystal Palace....too bad Andy Johnson and his penalties went to Everton.

BTW, it will be great to see Nottingham Forest(promoted to the Championship next year) so close to returning to the EPL again. The other Reds........It would be great if they could get back to the top division again..........

I'd like to see Hull go up. I played with them on Fifa and guided them from the 3 tier to the EPL so I'd like to see it happen.
I'd also settle for Bristol City.

Senior Squad
most ppl would be expecting palace to go up, but then again, west brom were expected to win the playoffs last season...

and i hope bristol dont go up... because derbys record for worst team in the epl might not last for long if they do

so that being said, i think it will be either hull or watford who win the playoffs, tho personally i'd like to see palace back in the premiership

Hull - Because I'd love to see Fraizer Campbell win at Wembley. I suspect it will be Palace who do it though.
