Premier league hopefuls

Fulham win the final 2-1 and join Leeds and West Brom in being promoted to the PL. Scott Parker has completed the job of returning the Cottagers to the top flight after just 1 season in the Championship. Heartbreak for Brentford after the great season they have had and they will have to attempt another promotion challenge all over again when the new season starts in mid September.

Nice to see 2 exciting young managers battling it out for PL football, I’d like to see Brentford go up , but I think Fulham will be too strong and win 2-0

You were very close, with prediction , I feel sorry for Brentford, going to be difficult to pick up the pieces from tonight and start again, they move to a new stadium, which can have its problems, as Spurs and Arsenal have found out, they may also have problems holding onto all their players

Would that bet not have been for just normal time?

It would depend on what way it was placed, I have seen a lot of guys, very disappointed, where bet was for after 90 minutes

Seems the shot for the first goal had been planned. Fulham had noticed that the brentford goalie does be off his line sometimes. Just shows that every detail has to be thought of by managers.

The Brentford keeper can be a bit of a headless chicken at times, their were a couple of occasions tonight that he was extremely lucky, not to get caught out

congrats on your winnings Barney,

Would that bet not have been for just normal time?

It was indeed Ketchup and me saying that I couldn't lose!

Ah well c'est la vie!

I missed this earlier but I see that Wigan`s appeal against their 12 point deduction has been turned down so they are definitely relegated to League One next season. This decision also confirms that Barnsley will be spending another season in the Championship.

A winning start for watford. They beat boro 1-0.

A successful first game in charge for the Hornets` latest in a long line of recent managers Vladimir Ivic. He won`t be sacked this weekend anyway.

Will any of the teams that were relegated, norwich, watford or bournemouth come straight back up? Watford start their campaign tonight.

Hard to predict which teams from the Championship will be promoted. Any of 9 or 10 clubs could be in the running although I would think Notts Forest will be motivated to make up for the way the last season ended for them.

I hope so WCL but I wouldn't put any money on them, they've let me down so many times.
