I just thought it was completely bizarre that people were writing off our chances after the Birmingham game with 16 still games still remaining, I just could not comprehend that train of thought at all with so much of the season still to play. People seemed to genuinely believe that our best hopes were "scraping in the play-offs" which would only have taken a measly three points swing, even though there were still 48 points to be won and lost - it was just staggeringly cautious of people and I didn't get it at all.

People were saying that the clubs at the top would need a catastrophic meltdown for us to have any chance, and I didn't see that at all, we only needed to win three more games than those above us to catch up - and lo and behold we've done that already! Someone even went as far as to say our chances of finishing top two were virtually the same as the odds against winning the lottery!!! Bizarre!!!

Of course I never predicted us going on quite such a spectacular run as we have done recently (and hope to continue the next few games as well), and like the gaffer, I didn't expect us to make up the ground this swiftly, but I was confident that the strength and depth of our squad compared with those of our rivals was going to massively come into play as we hit later stages, and that is exactly what is happening with others losing key players to injury while we can afford the ridiculous luxury of leaving players who would be first name on the team sheets for others such as Jerome, Hooper, Turner, Dorrans etc on the bench.

Have to as I'm rather pleased I managed to put my money where my mouth is and have a very good chance of cleaning up at the bookies, though still plenty of work to be done yet between now and the finale so as great as it is to see people's expectation levels changing, we need to make sure we don't get too complacent as there are still games that could trip us up so nothing is won or lost just yet.

Looking pretty bloody good though isn't it!! <somersault>

My comment was a bit tongue in cheek , both me and you have been the only two that have tipped us to win the league through the entire season but I don't bet on Norwich.
