Hardly a promotion decider ginge I think you'll find Stoke have more of a say in our promotion than we do!
Seen as West Brom have such superior goal difference and are already going up!

I think you'll find it's in City's hands just as much as Stoke's, as each team have 1 game to play.

If Stoke lose to Leicester, (who need a win to defiantly secure Championship status next year) and City win. City will go up in the second of the automatic places due to goal difference of +19.
If City lose they are in the playoffs.

OR

BBC Sport say "West Bromwich Albion are on the brink of promotion. Only the massively-improbable but possible combination of a final-day loss at QPR coupled with a Hull win over Ipswich, turning over a 12-goal deficit in the process - combined with Stoke getting at least a point to make them champions - will prevent the Baggies' return to the top division." and Stoke and Hull go up.

well its in stokes hands really isnt it, even if you win, you still need stoke to lose. West Brom are already up unless you win 7-0 and they lose 6-0 (probabilty = 0.0000001).

i reckon-

west brom win
stoke draw
hull lose

imo.

 As a fan who's already got the train and hotel booked for the weekend I hope it's City but after another shocking performance, I don't quite think so. Crystal Palace are on form and should get past Bristol City and everyone seems to think that City beating Watford will be a walk in the park, but I don't believe so. Watford are on an absolutely atrocious run of form (SEE BELOW) but this is the ideal opportunity to put this behind them. I think this is going to be a very tough tie and too many people are underestimating Watford.
 But we'll see and before making any bets I wanna see what Roddy thinks.

3rd. Hull City  WDWLWL - Points 10/18
4th. Bristol City  WLDLLW - Points 7/18
5th. Cyrstal Palace  DWWWLW - Points 13/18
6th. Watford  WLDLLD - Points 5/18

Well you can throw the form book out of the window as in the playoffs anything can happen. its a lot harder to choose winners here as the teams are all so closely matched.

having said that, you cant ignore that watford are on a poor run and their home form is poor. 8 Wins 4 draws 8 losses, they are also the only side in the top twenty who have a negative goal difference at home.

Hull to make it to the final imo, watford dont have the fire power, soupy to score as well  Smiley
