Hull don't deserve it

Hull is hardly tin pot; greater urban area is 500k +. They have a good manager and finished second, why on earth don't they "deserve" it? Does a club have to be liked on Facebook or something to get promoted now? And an Albion hero scored yesterday too.

Of course they deserve it and they've got the points to prove it.

They limped over the line in the end but did enough.

I think Watford may actually struggle and if anyone did not deserve to be in the play-offs it was Leicester- very lucky

Actually I have a lot of sympathy with the opening post.

Yes they deserve it, stats don't lie. But I thought they were so dour and boring and did little to entertain at The Amex. Goal difference isn't the best, they robbed us on the opening day when we created a host of chances.

I can't help but keep thinking about Kuszsz's error at Birmingham, Casper vs Forest, CMS missed penalty vs Leeds, Ashley's missed pens, inability to score prior to Ulloa........

Well done to Hull, but I'm not sure what they'll bring to the Prem other than being well organised.

Trouble is Leicester worry me, everything we don't cope with particularly well, physical, direct style....... Of course this is assuming we can beat Palace, which I've said in other posts worries me immensely.

I have a horrible feeling that their luck may well continue all the way to the Premier League :down:

I suppose the OP would have turned his nose up if Brighton had got promoted in 1991 with a negative goal difference, saying we didn't deserve it.

You know this 'table doesn't lie' is a load of shit right?

There is such a thing as luck. Obviously over a season it evens itself out a bit, but not completely. To suggest that everyone's exactly where they should be means that no one should ever complain about dodgy decisions, no moaning about Zaha diving. Hull haven't been the second best team this season, it's just gone their way. But saying that, I don't really think Watford deserve it either, given that they've cheated the system with their foreign loans.
