This is often billed as the top prize in football with a reported £40million windfall for the team who wins. Obviously Crystal Palace & Bristol City played today and city take the advantage into the second leg with their 2-1 victory. Hull and Watford play tomorrow lunchtime.

I'd like it to be Hull but I've a feeling that Watford will be in the Premiership next season.

I was 'all about' Palace until I saw their result, now I think Johnson will drag his battlers up with blood, sweat and tears! I really like Bristol, the mentality of the club reminds me of us

I still think Palace. I know they lost yesterday but they were poor in truth and can play better.

Warnock will get them fired up for the return leg.

No-ones voted for Watford yet(including me)....so they're probably favourites now

I say Hull. I'm watching them play right now on SS1 and there playing well, 2 - 0 up already.

Yeah, looks like they could wrap this up in the first leg!

who's this windass bloke? seems to score a few. should we be interested?

Isn't the internet great.

You can come out with things like that, without the fear of getting stoned to death!

Looker under 'Better bets than Raziak' and you'll find him towards the top of the list. Mind you, given that criteria you'll probably find Stumpy O'Legs McNolegs, last place in the Market Harborough half marathon on there too.

I would say Bristol City but I don't recall us ever getting anything from Ashton Gate, and also, the rascals ruined my first ever trip to Wembley. As such I'd like Hull to come up, as much for any other reasons to see how Brownie gets on and to welcome Henrik back for a day.

I reckon Palace will still get through past Bristol City, and go on to just beat Hull at Wembley.

My company office is situated in Market Harborough, so I expect a little bit more respect! I know where you're coming from though!

Yeah, Bristol City major bogey side... but I saw us win 1-0 about twelve/fifteen years ago at Ashton gate, with a goal in the opening minutes by (maybe) Mark Patterson...

cue 85 mins of 'we are the one and only wanderers...'

i think that might have been our only win at Ashton Gate since something like 1903...

I also saw a 0-0 draw midweek in League cup... Jeez, that was a thrill...

In those days I was working in Bristol quite often... And got to know some City and Rovers fans... Wouldn't mind them coming up - quite fancy a trip down there... See if we can do better this century than last...

Watched the Hull Watford match yesterday before heading to the boozer. Myhill pulled off oe of the saves of the season. T'was amazing.

I know the one, it was a corker, from the left footed volley, just inside the box?

Aye, that's the one. Unsighted by his defender and a thumb round the post

Oh, quality call, Sir. Didn't he run for about 20/30 yards with it before sticking it into the bottom corner, or is memory having its way with me?

But you do get free membership to the friendsof Natasha club!

I went for Hull but only because of the 'Bolton connection' and the fact that I'm still bitter about that play-off final against Watford.

OK, not quite Championship play-off - rather the play-offs to get into it, but I can't say I'm sorry to hear that Leeds are getting a good pasting tonight off Carlisle.

Oh, and the answer's Hull.
