It was coming for a while but they have been head and shoulders above the rest of the league and so Newcastle as quite deservedly up. West Brom (despite just scraping a draw today) will easily get second which begs the question who else is going up? A month or two ago it would have been Forest no doubt but their form has been dropping a lot, that being said the others up there aren't really that promising although I think Cardiff can play alright football sometimes. I'm guessing though it will still be Forest.
However (as a Palace fan) I'm much more interested at the bottom of the league. If we hadn't won today I'd have said that would be us gone but as it happened we had a fantastic result against Preston and all the others results went our way lifting us out of the drop zone. QPR and S****horpe are definitely back in it which means it could be any of five teams (Peterborough are already relegated). I'm sure I'm biased but I think if we play like we did today and with the fans (which I'm even more biased about but have been amazing all season, I'll post some videos if anyone cares) fully behind the team we can well save ourselves. We have QPR and Wednesday still to play which will be absolutely vital games but I think they are definitely ones we can win. I'd say numerically Plymouth have the highest mountain to climb (and West Brom & Newcastle to play) so I can't see them getting out of it. Other than that I just don't really know it could go any way. It's definitely one to be watching.
