Im rooting for Boro or Derby to get the last spot. I like new blood in the prem and they've been out the longest.
You know Boro were up last season, right? Villa have been out longer.

I want the winner of Fulham v Derby to win the final.

From a selfish point of view I don’t want Fulham going up if it scuppers our chances of getting Sess.

Derby look very into this. Fulham's defence looks shaky. Both teams though appear like they could do a job in the PL.

Something weird has happened, PL relegated teams tend to struggle in Championship now and promoted teams tend to thrive in the PL. I think the top of the championship is at a really high level these days.

Have to say I’m enjoying watching Huddlestone spraying those long passes about again.

Huddlestone has immense natural ability

Can’t think of many CM for Spurs I’ve seen who can match his passing ability. Beckamesque with his long passes.

Unfortunately he always had the mobility of a tank, and for such a big bloke he was a monumental pussy.

Still, I loved watching him play for us and was a bit sad when he left ( although it was the correct call at the time for both parties).

I always thought he would have done well in Italy and was also suited to International football where the play is often snail paced.

I agree with all that. How do you reckon he'll fair in the PL again if derby get promoted?

Just hope derby can get at least one more. Fulham not going up might help us if we do go for him.

Hes always does alright back in the Prem, he was there last season, did alright. He's done fairly well whenever he has come up really.

There was a period, the season under Redknapp where we made the champions league, were he looked a real player, unlucky not to be selected for the World Cup. But injuries real hurt him and thats ultimately why we moved him on.
