So what does everybody think about Norwich and Cardiff playing on Monday this week. It doesn't make that much difference to us as if we get a result at Watford that will be good enough. Of course if we were to lose at Watford then Lambert will be telling the Norwich players on Monday that if they can beat pompey they could still win the championship. We have just had a bit of controversy with Norwich getting a more favourable fixture list over easter and with just 2 games to go the kick off times are all still splt. I personally think this time of year that the teams challenging for honours or fighting relegation should kick off at the same time.
Too be honest, I am not fussed about Cardiff or Norwich. One point at Watford (3 would be better) then the title is ours. Just wonder whether, IF we had got the title sorted out on Saturday, would this have taken the gloss of Wills and Kate wedding? And have the board given them season tickets as a wedding gift?
They were asked about Queens Park, Rangers the other day They answered, Is that anywhere near St James's Park or Hyde Park

Personally I think it utterly ridiculous and unfair that they get this two day advantage, i mean our players could still be tired where as they will have 48 hours rest which could alter our whole promotion. The FA being biased again.
Can't remember Eternal but we are definitely due a win. I'm not even thinking about the Norwich, Cardiff games and timings. If we don't lose we've done it.
We won 4-2 there a few years ago. They were doing quite well and we rested a couple of players for the seemingly easier game against Leicester that was next. Balanta made a couple of the goals I think. Rowlands scored a penalty and then lobbed the keeper I think before Stewart scored from a corner just before half-time. I don't remember much of the second half but ****tu scored a consolation for them at the end.
