Barmby ready for Wembley

Hull City midfielder Nicky Barmby is looking forward to visiting Wembley for the Playoff semi-final after two goals in each leg helped his side to the final and a chance of reaching the Premiership.

Barmby said: "It's fantastic. We have never done it before [played at Wembley]. We knew we had a tough job and Watford started well, but to get to Wembley is just superb for this football club.

"It does not matter who scores, but it was fantastic to score and get us back into it. We got a bit jittery but it just settled us down.

"It's just amazing. I went [to Wembley] in 1980 with the rugby clubs, Hull and Rovers [for the rugby league Challenge Cup final], but we know we are in for a difficult game with Bristol City.

"The first job is done and hopefully it will be a good game and we will come out on top."
