By Chris Harvey Last updated: 14th May 2008
FULL-TIME: The crowd swarms onto the field at the final whistle to mob their heroes. What a day for the city of Hull as they can anticipate a trip to Wembley. They are now on the brink of promotion to the Premier League - unthinkable at times during the last decade when they were actually locked out of their former home Boothferry Park. Commiserations to Watford who just had too much to do after the first leg.
89 - PARTY TIME: Doyle makes it four for the Tigers. Fagan rides his luck, the ball ricochets to the substitute whose deflected effort finds its way into the net.
88 - Some people are on the pitch...they think it is all over AND IT IS NOW! Garcia makes a superb burst through the centre, rounds two defenders and slots the ball beyond Lee. The party really can begin now. Some fans can barely contain themselves and are on the field. Get off you fools.
87 - Dancing: The crowd are getting into the spirit of things now, anticipating their trip to Wembley.
85 - Fresh air: Folan goes for the spectacular but misses his kick. Stephen from Luton has been in touch and is revelling in Watford's misfortune. I'd be careful Stephen - -15 points is not a good way to start your season.
80 - Watford corner: The visitors get a chance to create pressure. The ball is swung in and falls to Henderson who gets in a shot which is cleared off the line by Hughes. That could have made it interesting.
79 - So close: Folan does well and gets in a great cross which is met by Doyle but he can't get enough on the ball.
Air fair anyone: Neil from New Zealand is finally going to see his Hull City team at Wembley - but he needs an air ticket first. Anyone going to offer to fork out for him.
77 - Substitution: Campbell is replaced by Nathan Doyle. It's been another energetic performance by the youngster but Brown is going to save him for Wembley.
76 - Tangle: Williamson and Dawson get involved in a bit of handbags. The referee has a word with both players.
74 - Relaxed: The home side are now stroking the ball around the KC Stadium savouring every moment - and Dave's just been back on again to say he's always rated Fagan!
72 - Substitution: Barmby comes off to a terrific ovation to be replaced by Craig Fagan.
GOAL - AND GAME OVER! Substitute Folan has surely put Hull City at Wembley now. The big striker is picked out by a superb Ricketts cross and makes no mistake from 5 yards out. What a moment for the substitute. Surely there's no way back for the visitors now. Think you may have spoken too soon Dave about him being a waste of £1million.
67 - On the charge: Garcia bursts down the left and gets in a deep cross which Barmby can hardly reach. The ball drops for Hughes whose effort is deflected wide.
66 - Booked: Michael Turner finds himself cautioned after an ugly lunge.
Far east: Dave has been in touch from Singapore where it is 4am. You'll be impressed with Folan's first effort Dave. He's already making a nuisance of himself.
63 - Campbell danger: The Hull striker makes a nuisance of himself but Lee and Demerit combine to thwart him.
62 - Substitution: Windass makes way for Caleb Folan. His pace could really stretch the visitors here.
59 - Lucky boy: Smith gets in a great cross which heads into the City six yard box where Brown slices his attempted clearance. The Tigers still look very nervous.
58 - Early impact: Priskin is immediately into the action as he gets in a shot which stings the hands of Myhill who then claims the resulting corner. Looks like Watford are going 3-4-3 now.
57 - Substitution: Adrian Boothroyd is going for broke now. He's brought on Tamas Priskin who looked lively on Saturday in place of Adrian Marappa.
54 - Crowd lift: The Tigers still look nervous so Barmby puts in some enthusiastic challenges to boost the nervous spectators. Andy in Iowa is also nervous and he can't stay for the second half due to a business meeting!
50 - Too deep: Williamson does well down the Hull left and gets in a cross which just evades Ellington at the far post.
49 - Sloppy: Garcia has chance to deliver a telling ball but he gives it away. Poor play from the Hull City wideman.
46 - We're underway again: ... and we've started with a real talking point. Windass challenges for the ball as Campbell gets in a cross. The ball appears to strike a Watford defender on the arm but referee Clattenburg says no penalty. The replay indicates a clear handball. Watford were lucky not to concede a penalty there.
Cashing in: Colin's already counting his winnings if Hull City go up while Barry is already preparing for next season's visit to Old Trafford. Still another 45 minutes to go though chaps.
All over: Matty thinks it is game, set and match now while Charlotte is just pleased Hull have got this far this season. Watford fan Andy, from South Carolina, thinks the Hornets will win 3-2 - but that won't be enough Andy! Keep in touch - email me Chris Harvey
HALF-TIME: What a great time for City to level things up. They have been poor during that firsr period but Barmby has put the tie back in their favour. I'm going for a half-time cuppa. Join me soon and I'll try to look through some of your feedback
43 - GOAL TIGERS: Barmby levels the game on the night. Watford can;t clear their lines as the ball is headed up into the air. Keeper Lee hesitates and Barmby follows it in to score a crucial equaliser. After missing much of the season the former England star has now scored in both legs.
41 - Corner Watford: Tommy Smith drives for the byline. his cross is blocked by Wayne Brown at the expense of a corner
Tigers v Bristol City? Katies' been in touch. She's a Tigers fans but her boyfriend supports Bristol City. Could be an interesting day at Wembley if Hull get there Katie!
38 - Disappointing: Watford have a good chance to put more pressure on the home goal but Sadler's corner is poor. The ball is quickly up to the other end and it's a Hull corner now. Drew's been in touch and he's a touch nervous. Ian Ashbee has a chance to settle the nerves but he gets under his header. He could have done better then.
35 - Handball: The home side earn a free-kick about 22 yards out. Windass tries his luck but his affort flies well over the bar.
32 - Good pace: McAnuff gets down the left well as the visitors break. He gave Sam Ricketts a torrid time in the first leg and is proving a threat once again.
30 - Scuffed: Good build-up play from the home side but Hughes makes a mess of his cross and Watford are able to clear their lines.
26 - Tiger in exile: Chris has been in touch from Las Vegas. He's a Tiger through and through and is looking forward to hearing 'the Cod Heads' roar at Wembley.
24 - Corners: The home side win successive corners but fail to make either of them count.
22 - Booking: Nick Barmby lunges in as Lee Williamson looks to clear his lines and catches the Watford man. The referee pulls out a yellow card for the former England man.
21 - Early ball: Garcia plays it long for Campbell to chase but Lee is out first to deny the on-loan hitman.
19 - Confident: Eddie still believes the Tigers will make it to Wembley but expects drama. He nearly gets more as McAnuff tries his luck but Myhill keeps his eye on the spinning ball.
18 - Flick: Matthew Sadler breaks well down the left and feeds Henderson inside the box. He goes for the clever backheel but fails to trouble Myhill. Inventive stuff from the big striker.
16 - Hitting back: Hull have been rocked by that goal but have come back strongly. Campbell looks full of running.
13 - Silenced: The home fans were bouyant before kick-off but they've gone quiet now. What do you think to that Tigers fans? Can you hit back. Let me know Chris Harvey
11 - GOAL WATFORD: Henderson gives Watford hope. Good work by McAnuff sees him break into the area. He passes to Ellington who plays in the big striker Henderson who slots the ball coolly beyond Myhill. We could be in for a night of drama now.
10 - Wasted: Windass wins a free-kick but Brian Hughes fails to pick out an amber shirt.
8 - Gift: Adrian Mariappa is not looking and tries to flick the ball back to keeper Richard Lee. Fraizer Campbell is onto it like a flash and tries to nudge it over the keeper who stands big and denies the Tigers striker a killer goal. What a moment that could prove.
6 - No pattern: It's not pretty so far. Both sides have still to settle down.
Predictions: Kyle is expecting a thriller with Hull coming out 3-2 winners while Matty reckons it'll be a draw on the night with the Tigers going on to Wembley. Rob is just hoping for a good game - he's more concerned with who his Bristol City side will play in the final.
3 - Shot: John Eustace tries his luck from distance. The ball takes a slight deflection but is easily gathered by Boaz Myhill in the Tigers' goal.
1 - High challenge: Wayne Brown is clattered by Nathan Ellington with a high boot. Brown is down for some time but referee Mark Clattenburg gives him the benefit of the doubt. Lucky to escape a booking there I think.
They're off: Hull City kick the game off, just 90 minutes from a first appearance at Wembley. The first goal will be crucial. The Tigers are in their usual black and amber while Watford are in an all-red strip.
On our way to Wembley:Chris thinks Hull will run out 2-1 winners and will be at Wembley. Is it going to be a memorable
Better team? Watford fan Graham has been in touch to say he thinks the Hornets were the better team in the first leg and should have won but for some poor defending and bad refereeing. What do you think to that Tigers fans? Let me know chris.harvey@bskyb.com
Unchanged: Tigers boss Phil Brown has gone with the same XI that started the first leg with veterans Dean Windass and Nick Barmby both starting.
Henderson back: Watford are pleased to see the return of striker Darius Henderson for the trip to the KC Stadium. His physical presence was badly missed at Vicarage Road. However, not surprisingly Danny Shittu is missing after injuriung a hamstring in the first leg.
Teams: Watford: Lee, Mariappa, DeMerit, Bromby, Sadler, Smith, Eustace, Williamson, McAnuff, Henderson, Ellington. Subs: Poom,
Teams: Hull: Myhill, Ricketts, Turner, Brown, Dawson, Garcia, Ashbee, Hughes, Barmby, Windass, Campbell. Subs: Duke, Doyle, Walton, Folan, Fagan.
Welcome: Thank you for joining me for the second leg of the Championship play-off between Hull City and Watford. The Tigers lead 2-0 from the first leg and are clear favourites to make it to Wembley. I'll bring you team news as soon as I have it. In the meantime let me have your predictions. Email me - chris.harvey@bskyb.com
