90 minutes of football and £120 million pound at stake...How do you enjoy the Championship play-off Final?

A sunny Bank Holiday Monday in May and the majority of us are set to enjoy a nice relaxing day, making the most of our extra day off from work. Some will no doubt be nursing a hangover from a crazy Bank Holiday night out, and then there are Crystal Palace and Watford fans who will spend the day biting their finger nails ahead of footballs richest game.

Today at Wembley, Palace and Watford will contest the Championship Play-Off Final for the right to be playing Premier League football next season. After 46 league games it all comes down to 90 tense minutes at the home of football to decide which of these two teams will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool next season.

There is no doubt that Watford fans are still pinching themselves that today is even happening after their dramatic semi final v Leicester at Vicarage Road, where the Foxes looked to have secured their spot in the final as they earned a stoppage time penalty, only for Watford keeper Manual Almunia to save superbly before playing the ball up field allowing Troy Deeney to smash the ball home with just seconds remaining.

Although for Palace it was not quite so dramatic, Ian Holloway and his side had to battle past fierce rivals Brighton to reach today's showpiece event. After a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park it looked like the pendulum had swung in the Seagulls favour, however two goals from Manchester United bound Wilfred Zaha at the Amex secured Palace a 2-0 aggregate win.

The build up to this game has been further enhanced by Ian Holloway's critical comments about Watfords use of the flawed loan system in the Football League. Up to this season there was a limit on five loan players in each squad from England, however no maximum number on foreign loan imports. With the Watford owners also having ownership of Udinese in Italy, it allowed the Hornets boss, Gianfranco Zola to snap up eight players on loan, including that of 21 year old Matej Vydra who has bagged an incredible 20 goals already this season.

There will not be two more eccentric managers on the sidelines either with Zola and Holloway two of the most entertaining bosses in the Championship. Zola this week said his players would be 'crazy' not to enjoy the occasion, unfortunately I don't think it is a game that can be enjoyed....until you win.

The winners of today's game will earn a potential £120 million pounds over the next year regardless of whether they drop straight back down from the Premier League thanks to large TV deal and parachute payments. In essence that means that each minute today that the players are on the field could potentially be worth £1.3 million pounds.

It is set to be an enthralling afternoon of football for everyone watching, maybe except them Watford and Palace fans making their way to Wembley, my advice to them, make sure you have some nails to bite and shoulder to cry on or to dance on at full time as it really will get that emotional. Strap yourselves in, it is going to be a roller-coaster.

Who do you think will win today's Championship Play Off Final? As always let us know.

Why Gareth shouldn't Bale on Spurs.....yet!

After failing to qualify for the Champions League this season, many Tottenham fans fear they could be about to lose their superstar winger Gareth Bale, however Everything Sport takes a look at why the Welsh wizard might be better to give it another go at White Hart Lane rather than hotfoot it across Europe to Madrid.

Spurs could count themselves unfortunate to miss out on a top four finish this season after finishing with their highest ever points tally in the Premier League, totaling 72, with only the extraordinary form of rivals Arsenal post Christmas preventing the White half of North London celebrating Champions League football next season.

Reports this week have linked Bale with an incredible £60 million pound move to another team in white....the one time Galacticos of Real Madrid. While all footballers dream of the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in world football, Bale should reject any advance from Madrid and stick with his Tottenham team mates for at least another season,particularly as they seem on the verge of toppling the once one sided battle in North London.

At just 23 years old, Bale could be about to become the main man who leads Spurs to something that they have not done in a while and that is finish above their near neighbours.  There is no doubt anymore regarding Bales ability, he has scored goals in an abundance and crucial ones at that. While it seems wrong to label Tottenham a one man team, you can't help but ask the question where Tottenham would have finished without the supreme Bale in their line up.

Bale is a key man and his reputation at Tottenham is rising all the time, you have to wonder if a move to Madrid would mean the same. You only have to rewind to 2012 to find the last player who swapped London for Madrid, Luka Modric.

Like Bale, Modric was a key part of a Spurs squad who had qualified for the Champions League, interest from Madrid grew and the player demanded a move to Spain. Spurs no doubt lost a key player, but Modric has found it tough in Spain and reports of a return to England already seem to be circulating.

While it is unfair to say the same would happen to Bale, it is clear that Bale would go from a stand out player to just another name of stars in a team that doesn't necessarily produce what it should.....trophies. Of course their are arguments that a move to Madrid could make Bale the complete player, while there is some truth in this, there is no reason why it has to be this season, he has time on his side.

At just 23, the Welshman has his best years ahead of him and he can still evolve at Spurs and help them become a regular in Europe's elite competition before departing for the Spanish capital. Andres Villas Boas is building something special at Tottenham and he is planning to build it around the Welshman. Spurs are no longer knocking on the door of Champions League football, they are now prepared to blow it open by making some big name signings and that is something the current top four should be wary of, and while AVB and Bale are leading the army, that threat is even more serious.

Nobody will expect Bale to stay at Tottenham for his entire career, of course they don't, why would he? But what Spurs fans will be expecting is another top four push next season and they will be praying that it is with Bale, I would be surprised if he jumps ship just yet and I think AVB would as well.

Let us know your thoughts. Should Bale stay at Spurs or push through a move to Madrid?
