    Well, this is the week that just keeps giving!

    Watford win a thrilling match in an unbelievable set of circumstances, then the Canaries score four goals to guarantee Prem football for next season, then tonight, Norwich City Youth have won the FA Youth Cup, beating Chelsea 3 - 1 at Stamford Bridge, 4 - 1 overall!

    I'm off for an early night now, most of the day at hospital tomorrow :(

    Night all <hug>

    Night H <smooch>

    When asked about us, he just said that we were a fantastic team and didn't add anything else. Let's see what he says in the build-up to the game.

    Saw this and thought you all might appreciate it.......


    I'm not sure if anyone else has spotted this, but I was astounded to learn this morning that, even though Palace scored less goals, conceded more goals and got less points than us over the whole season, they have an equal chance of getting promotion through something called the Play - Offs.

    They are blatantly using a loophole in the rules that allows the possibility of inferior teams getting promotion over obviously superior teams.

    It can't be right, can it?

    Quote from that man again.

    "Watford, they're a fantastic team, but so are we."

    "They're unbeaten in 6 matches, so they're due a defeat."

    "We got 4 points off them this season, so don't really hold too much fear
    for us."

    Does he ever get anything right when talking about Watford?

    The playoffs are only their because the FA make a lot of money from them.
    They have discussed adding the teams that finish seventh and eighth to the playoffs to make more money.
    Expect this to happen in the next few years.
    The teams that finish seventh and eighth will play a one legged tie against the teams that finish fifth and sixth.
    Then it will be a two legged fixture as it is now against the teams that finished third and fourth.

    Morning all, a few showers around this morning, but warm and sunny this afternoon. Really strange weather compared to most years as by now the watering can would normally be well used.

    Lots of things to do before heading south tomorrow. Have a good day whatever you are doing. <ok>

    We really, really have to win now. Mr Holloway will be utterly unbearable if they beat us!

    We need a loophole that says the play offs are to be held every year EXCEPT when we finish third

    I did ask the finest legal boffins on this board to get in touch with the FA and league to cancel the play offs and send us up automatically but they failed - you cannot get the staff these days!
