Who will be promoted to the EPL?

Re: Who will be promoted to the EPL?

Hopefully Bristol City get through.

West Brom will do well in the EPL next year and make a name for themselves in the sense that everyone expects the teams to struggle.

How high up can they finish though? I suspect middle of the road would be an outstanding season for them.

12th IMO. They are a very attacking side and will cause teams around them a lot of trouble because while the others will be sitting back and waiting they will be all out attack.

Hull City 4 - Watford 1 Full Time

Hull City 6 - Watford 1 Aggregate

So, on Saturday week it's Bristol City v Hull City at Wembley. Winner promoted into EPL.

It will be great to see one of these two teams in the top flight. It has been awhile for Bristol City (since 1979) whislt (quote me if I'm wrong) Hull City have never been in the top flight. Unfortunately whoever makes it will probably find themselves coming back down straight away.

Early tip for the Championship next year will be the new millionnaires QPR who will take the comp by storm which will see them promoted to the top flight for the 2009/10 season.

Slightly OT, but the Championship promotion battle will this year feature Leeds United. Who would've imagined about 5 years ago that Leeds would be in League One? They have a chance to head back to the Championship, with Doncaster Rovers standing in their way.

I feel for one of my old lecturers. He's a Leeds United fan, but his hometown is Doncaster, and every year he goes home and attends a home game. I imagine he would be feeling quite torn at the moment.

Don't forget this season the play offs are in reverse order which means the Bristol City v Hull City clash is on tonight at midnight. For those with Foxtel, tune in to watch it.

HULL CITY PROMOTED!!!

Bristol City 0 - Hull City 1

It was Roy of the Rovers stuff as boyhood Hull City fan 39 year old Dean Windass scored a spectacular volley to put his home town club into the Premiership next season. A goal worth winning any game let alone a play off final at Wembley.

It's the first time ever that Hull have been in the top flight of English football.

A fantastic story no doubt. Windass has been around forever, to put Hull into the premier league, what a great parting gift for the club. You'd think that'd be it now.

Hopefully they can be really competitive and avoid relegation.

More heartbreak for Leeds fans, losing their promotion playoff to Doncaster Rovers, who enter the Championship for the first time in 50 years.

Re: Who will be promoted to the EPL?

Wind-ass. Good old Deano. What a flatulant surname.

As the Times would say to the Premiership's newest team: "Hull-o"!

For those yet to see Deano's wonder strike:

There are some other video clips from a local Hull site, amazing crowd scenes.

Now that is a strike. Just goes to show that while age wearies the body, class is timeless.
