What? It's going to be their season rumblings already, Sparroww? That is a bad experience. You have my sympathies.
Druss, I think you're right on Liverpool's form and Gerrard being injured. It sort of reminds me of Thierry Henry's last season or so at Arsenal; I think he said in an interview that the team had started to depend on him to the extent that it effected team performance. His leaving Arsenal threw the responsibility back onto the other players to get a result. I think a similar thing is happening with Liverpool at the moment...well...maybe we should take 'moment' the way in which Ancelotti used it.

We can druss providing Cardiff lose (playing earlier than us)....
If they draw and we win....we 3 points ahead, but they have a vastly superior goal difference....our fate is in our hands (forgetting the QPR case)....all we have to do tonight and Saturday is equal or better Cardiff's results and it's job done.....
So, having said all that, come on the Boro!

Actually Auto they just showed the table. The goal difference is only 1 goal your +24 and Cardiff are +25 according to their stats. If they draw and you win then it will be atleast level. Cardiff might bottle it now that the pressure is on.
The Gerrard thing, I think its more that playing him messes up their formation. Meireles seems to be playing alot better in the middle but anytime I've seen him and Gerrard in the same team he has been shunted onto the wing where he is ineffectual and Gerrard simply isn't as good as him in the middle. Plus I still don't think you can trust Gerrard to play as a central midfielder, he is far too self important. Like Paul Ince.
I believe the "next year is our year" shouts actually started back in January when it was decided that Suarez and Carroll are the two best strikers in Europe.

Well to be fair Liverpool's season picked up after the January signings and the return of King Kenny of Mordor lol but yeah the usual sayings off "more money more players" and "return to the Champions League" and stuff....but forget about that there's bigger news today:
Norwich set for promotion tonight? They're looking good.

OBaka and Auto prepare to spunk your pants.....
Boro are 2-0 up after 12 minutes. Barry Robson with the second goal. I once managed him, excellent professional....

From the Sky Website Commentary...
24 That penalty shout against Robson now looks like a big call. Had that been given, Cardiff would have been right back in this tie. As it is, they need a miracle now to salvage anything from it.
23 What a result this will be for Norwich if Boro can hold on. They now stand on the brink of a return to the Premier League. Cardiff look a million miles away from that level at the moment, as another pass goes astray.
22 Some of the Cardiff fans are leaving already. This is unbelievable. Boro have taken their chances and made the most of the attacks they have launched. Cardiff haven't been able to find a way through

Cardiff did come close with a Bothroyd effort just past the post and it probably was a penalty when Robson handled it but other than that Cardiff have offered nothing. Bellamy seems to be the only one who cares.

To think that we actually had Craig Bellamy on our books at one time....
Now we just need a result in our favour against Portsmouth. Fingers crossed and all that.

He was a good player then indeed.
So excited am I about the Portsmouth vs. Norwich game that I am actually listening to it using my Freeview set.
*EDIT* I think it's been an interesting year domestically myself (thinking of the English leagues only), and not just as a Norwich supporter either. As for the Champions League, let's hope that we get a decent game of football.

Nice.
It has been a good season. Really was unthinkable at the start of the season that we would be chasing promotion; I thought it was one of those good starts to the season that you see promoted teams tend to have and then they fade away. Remarkable that we've managed to be there or thereabouts all season. Guessing there are also a bunch of disgruntled Ipswich fans.
