Well done Bristol City, into the playoff final to face either Watford or Hull. Hull 2-0 up after the first leg, so looking like a City vs Hull final.

More of a Bristol Rovers fan than City, but it's good for the city if we can get a club in the premiership. :clap:

Who does everyone fancy to go up?

If Bristol get promoted they'll make this season's Derby look like United, at least from what I've seen...

I think Hull will get past Watford easily in the second leg and then beat Bristol City in the final.

Thus no longer making Hull the largest city in Europe that hasn't had a team in the top flight of their national league.

But congrats to Bristol City, never thought they'd beat Palace given both sides end of season form but they've done incredibly well.

I'm already buying a city season ticket for next season, only £200 for students, great value, and will try desperatly to get a wembley ticket. That said, I might refuse to pay unless a replacement is brough for Adebola, shocking footballer, only thing he's got is strength, would be quite comical to see what Rio and Terry think of him tho.

Funny you say that, clem. He gave the Palace defenders a bloody nightmare of a time. I lost count of the number of times he retrieved lost balls and created opening through sheer strength and determination. He is the sort of player that is always going to keep defenders honest. I can see him bagging a few next season or - more likely - creating openings for others. Even at the highest level.

Having said that, he is fucking ugly to watch. :lol:

trundle wont make it in the prem, he is just one of those players that set the lower divisions alight but wont cut the mustard in the prem.

If City do go up, i fully expect them to come straight back down again next year, I cant think of a single player that i would like to see in the prem, this would mean a massive overhaul of players in the summer and i just dont think city have the funds (ala Derby) to compete to stay up.

Still would be awesome to get to watch spurs in my local city for a change!

I just couldn't see him creating an opening tho. He is a brute and you probably would want to play against him because you would end up a bit battered but he has such poor control, amoung the worst in the league IMO. The other problem I have with him is his speed of thought, seems like a defender has normally cleared the ball by the time he's decided what to do with it.

Hull, they've played some good football and really worked to go up.

Not saying that Bristol havn't desrved it but Hull have made sure that we don't have to see Watford in the premiership nexy season, who just scraped into the play off and keep going up to embarrass themselves.

Also I wouldn't mind seeing Dean Marney back in the premiership.
