Norwich vs Leeds and West Brom vs Southampton.
Any preferences for who comes up? It is all rather beige, with all 4 spending a fair bit of time in the PL in recent seasons.
I'd imagine United fans are a bit split on Leeds. They would love them to flop, but I am sure they also enjoy the matches with them?
Norwich have become the epitome of a yo-yo club, 1st, 20th, 1st, 20th. Their last few stays in the top flight have been short and rather pointless. The one thing about them potentially going up would be the derby with Ipswich but thats it really. Would be heavy favourites for the drop.
WBA had an 8 year stay in the PL in the 10s, ending their spell as king yo-yo. This is their 3rd season in the second tier.
Southampton had a long spell in the PL before dropping down as far as the third tier before rebuilding and re-establishing themselves in the PL. Last seasons relegation was a bit of a surprise, although they had been slipping for years. You would feel they could survive and have another long spell in the PL if they did go up.
The play-offs are usually a good watch with a fair bit of drama. As for who I want to go up, it is a really hard call. Probably Leeds as they may bring a bit of drama to the PL.

Southampton because they are a classy club.
Leeds - pathetic fanbase and think they are a big club
Norwich - bunch of inbreds
West Brom - nobody cares about them. Just a small club in Birmingham

Every time I think of West Brom I wonder what Adrian Chiles looked like before he was hit in the face with a shovel.

I want Lids in the PL. Great fixture to attend. Home or away.

Not bothered so long as it isn’t Leeds.
I love seeing them in the Championship. It is where their fans deserve to be.

VC and I appear to share the same feelings.

Two awful games by all accounts.
On a side note, wonder if the EFL have considered the non-league system of one off games - 5th v 8th, 6th v 7th and then winners play 3rd and 4th before the final. Home advantage to the higher placed side.
Not saying there hasn't been great games in the past, or even in the L1 and L2 this year.

We've got better players than you and play better football, perhaps we should stay 🙃

Norwich for me, as its the worst one to get there and back (in a day) for the away game.

Someone who can actually stay up. Pointless that this year all 3 went down

To very cagey first legs.
The pressure is on.
We've.got one cannon fodder club coming up so the rubbish at the bottom of the prem are bricking it thinking about who is coming up with Leicester.
I'm sure they all want Norwich or West brom to come up and get 25 points.
