I started this thread 4 years ago, and got slagged off, en route to a Palace Promition
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
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):
Against the Premier League (useless stat i know):
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.
Defence (perhaps the most telling stat of all):
1st: Palace: Conceded 3 once.
2nd: Hull: Conceded 4 once, and conceded 3 three times.
3rd: Bristol: Conceded 6 to Ipswich , conceded 4 once, and conceded 3 twice.
