I was having a look for somewhere to put a bet on the semi final draw, as I knew we would get Everton but couldn't find one :(
Saturday 23rd April - Crystal Palace v Watford
Sunday 24th April - Everton v West Ham or Man Utd
6th Round replay to be fixed after Thursday's Europa league game, if Man Utd get knocked out it will be the first week in April, if by some chance they get through it will have to be in the week before the Semi?

So congrats to Bournemouth nice to see someone new in the Premier league, and well done Watford.
The play off's throw up probably the biggest East Anglian derbies ever (in financial terms), also Brentford are still in with a shout?
In Div 1 Preston were unlucky to miss out, but I'm glad their defeat to Colchester meant that Colchester stayed up, former Hammer George Moncur grabbing the winner.
Congrats to Bristol City and the MK Dons for reaching the 2nd tier for the first time.
Div 2 - congrats to Jimmy Floyd's Burton + Shrewsbury and Bury.
Gutted that Southend blew it against bogey side Morecambe but hopefully they can overcome Stevenage and set up another Wembley game :)

The Championship
What a great finish to this season's Division 2 (or Championship), 40 games played and only 7 points between the top 8.
Nobody even guaranteed a play off space yet let alone automatic promotion.
1 Middlesbrough 75
2 Bournemouth 74
3 Norwich 73
4 Watford 73
5 Brentford 69
6 Derby 68
7 Ipswich 68
8 Wolves 68
Personally I would like to see Bournemouth and Brentford go up, just because neither have been there before :)
Both only have a 12,000 capacity so don't really fit the bill of having big teams in the Premier league but it would be great if they could both have at least one season mixing it with the "big" boys.
Realistically Middlesbrough, Norwich and Watford probably have the better resources to cope with promotion, but all have been there before without really impressing.
Not going to shed any tears for the Brolly Wally if Derby fail after hearing from someone who claims to have "insider knowledge" that West Ham are going to go for McLaren in the summer?, hopefully they will think twice if he manages a 2nd failure in a row with a team that should be running away with the league.
Hopefully Eddie Howe will stay with Bournemouth whatever happens, as I guess he will be in huge demand but after his Burnley experience he should realise that he is one of those managers who should stay put with a club that loves him.
