It's a Wembley war for Bristol City and Hull as Crystal Palace and Watford lick their wounds

So, as I predicted, the Championship play-off final at Wembley on May 24 will be between Bristol City and Hull City. Well, OK, I said that Crystal Palace were red-hot favourites. You can’t get everything right!

As a Watford fan I'm devastated that we will not be at Wembley, but in reality I know our team wasn’t good enough. A series of individual errors cost us dearly in the semi-final and Hull City played the game in an error-free manner at the back, and a clinical manner up front.

We’ll never know what would have happened if Danny Shittu’s perfectly good goal had not been disallowed in the first leg after just four minutes but, in the end, Hull deserved to go through.

I watched the games between Bristol City and Palace and I think the better team over the two legs have made it to Wembley. I really fancied Palace but they came up a little short in the end. Fair play to City, who went into the games with little momentum but managed to perform when it mattered.
