In the interest of the prestige of the premiership it would be wonderful if the best of the best championship teams were promoted into it. That said, I find it difficult to decide on whether I would prefer to see either Blackpool (who is arguably a weaker team but when they graced the premiership last time they played with a reckless abandon that was refreshing to see but in hind sight proved to be the naivety that altimatly led to their downfall. They also have a charismatic manager in Ian Holloway) or Westham (which has a stronger team and infrastructure that is good enough to host premiership matches).
Personally, I can't stand Sam Allardyce, he is arrogant and especially as he is one of Fergie's special lap dogs so my ambiverlance is swayed towards wishing Blackpool success in today's playoff final.
What do my learned Gooners feel about this conundrum?

Blackpool - The league is richer with them and with Holly, and frankly, I think it's time we all saw what happens when you're stupid enough to hedge all your bets on buying the Olympic Stadium BEFORE you can guarantee being able to pay for it with your promotion earnings.

I can get to upton park in half an hour so it's an easy away day for me.
That said I don't travel to away matches so come on Blackpool!

Blackpool just for some of the comments Holloway comes out with, I was sad to see them go and I admired how they would always play as the underdogs but really give the opposition team a game
