    Championship play off winners

    Who do you want to win the race for the last Premier League spot?

    Derby, QPR and Wigan are confirmed in the play off.
    Last spot is Reading, Brighton ... or perhaps Blackburn.

    I'd like Derby to go up!

    QPR - god no. Would love to see Bagpuss fail to get them promoted despite the fact that he has thrown money at that squad. So much talent in the squad, it would be an embarrassment if they didn't go up.

    Reading - as much as I love Nige, I have some Reading supporting friends who were ridiculously over-confident at the beginning of the season, so I'd prefer not to see them go up.

    Wigan - would be my second choice. I quite like Uwe Rosler, and I think they've done well to sustain promotion challenge having played a LOT more games (FA Cup and Europe).

    Derby - I like their team, and feel they would be the easiest opposition next year. Also they were so disappointing last time they were in the Prem I think it would be good to see them given another chance. They seem to have goals coming from all over the team, and I like their style of play. I often route for 3rd place team, as they've shown the form over the season so deserve it in that sense!

    I would have lov

    Not QPR, that's for sure.

    Reading would be OK - I'd be pleased for Adkins and it'd be good to add a local trip to the itinerary of away games..

    Given that they've also won an early version of the Paintpot and sit only one major trophy win behind you, I guess they are your real rivals.

    I'll go for QPR then seeing as it would annoy you lot (although thought you'd quite like a Twitchy visit next year).

    No Chis - I'm not living in the past, I'm quite happy in the here and now. Portsmouth and Bournemouth are almost equidistant from Southampton, but they are far better than you so they have to be considered as our rivals. I'd love to see what you'd have said 6 years ago if I'd said "You'll be playing two divisions below Bournemouth and Yeovil in 6 years!"

    Wigan for me, I reckon Rosler's going to be a star.

    Brighton, I'd be quite happy to see them go up if they were to.
    QPR have lost Jenas so they're down to the bare bones.
    Derby/Reading, yeah whatever.

    When I started supporting Pompey we were Div 4 and you were Div 1 (same as now). And which fans got to see a major trophy win first (not to mention 2 Divisional titles)? During that time you had a Paintpot.

    History has a habit of repeating, I still wouldn't mind betting we win a major trophy before you again. Might not be in my lifetime though...
