Championship Play-off Final: Crystal Palace vs Watford F.C.

[BDR]

Anyone pumped for this game? This is always one of my favourite games of the year.

This year I'm riding the Palace bandwagon, for Jedinak mainly. I think they will have too much class in the forwards too.

Should be a close and entertaining game.

I usually am also, sucks i will have to find a place to watch it as i don't have setanta.

Don't really care who wins this one, either side being promoted will be a good addition to the league.

Their top striker is out through an injury he picked up in the semis

Would be good to see Jedinak in the PL. London derbies are awesome too, so it would be good to see Palace replace QPR, keeping the count at six

Watford are a London club as well so that's irrelevant, although I would like to see Jedinak get a years worth of EPL experience before the World Cup (if we make it).

Damn must have missed the injury to Murray. That's a big blow for the eagles he has been unstoppable this season

Not really

Watford is in Hertfordshire, which is outside the Greater London area

 

[Haffa]

My cousins live near Selhurst Park and they've all grown up mad palace supporters, so I'll be cheering on Watford.

Plus there is the Zola factor.

Come on Watford!!!!!!

 

[BDR]

Not very exciting so far, ball is stuck in midfield and both teams struggling to get much happening in the forward 1/3

Jedinak very strong in that DM role

 

[Timbo]

Palace was all over them in the second half and couldn't finish. Zaha was close to unstoppable.

Going into extra time now.

 

[BDR]

Oooooh, Zaha wins a clear penalty in ET and they slot it.

Cassetti again! How must he feel

 

[Timbo]

15 more minutes and we're up!

 

[Timbo]

Palace win 1-0! Woot!

 

[BDR]

Amazing scenes there, practically every Watford fan left right away and almost exactly 1/2 of Wembley was just rocking and singing. Jedinak lifts the trophy as captain.

Palace thoroughly deserved that.

 

[Mong]

That's pretty standard... Who wants to watch the other side celebrate a return to the PL while your team faces another long CS season.

It's funny watching half a stadium disappear so quickly though..

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Wonder how palace will go with there best player going to Man Utd.

 

[Jimbo]

Another Aussie in the Premier League

Good stuff

Wasn't Poppa captain the last time Palace won a promotion play-off?

Maybe they should just appoint another Australian when they get relegated again...
