Which would you rather go up this season? The big, well run club or the small pretender?

I'm prejudiced by a my car being broken into after a 4-0 defeat outside Griffin Park and solidarity with Tony Bloom against his erstwhile partner. And I think Middlesborough are one of the best teams I have seen this year. But I usually like a plucky underdog and the thought of Brentford in the top tier is quite amusing.

Middlesborough to keep the pressure on Bournemouth, can't tell you how unreasonably upset I will be if Bournemouth go up.

Brentford.

Exactly the sort of team I want to see in the Premier League, and exactly what the clubs in the Premier League, as well as the financiers, don't want to see.

Bournemouth to go up with them.

Yes, It would be very annoying if they do!, Unfortunately that's football. But hey!, they could easliy end up like Blackpool!.

Feeling the love chaps, thanks awfully. I suspect there might be a bit of spluttering into cornflakes if Brentford and Bournemouth do go up in some quarters; I also suspect that the majority of supporters at clubs that aren't a) glory-hunters and b) up their own ar$es will enjoy the figurative nose-thumbing at the 'giants' of the 2nd division.

Middlesborough seem a far better fit in the prem than Brentford.

It'll be Derby and Middlesbrough for the autos.

Watford for the play off win.

They get very tetchy oop there if you spell Middlesbrough with the surplus o.
i.e. Middlesborough instead of Middlesbrough. (Not picking anyone up on spelling, just a genuine bit of useless information.)

My Father came from that neck of the woods. I've never been to Griffin Park but went to Ayresome Park as a kid and watched parachutists descend onto the pitch before kick off, I'll go with Middlesbrough please.

Middlesbrough. Been twice that's enough, Brentford on the other hand has always been great.
