Another excellent 3 points for Cardiff today!. biggrin Reading also continued their form by beating Leicester and Norwich kept the pressure on last night. Always good to see the Swans lose but Norwich and Reading are now more of a threat with their positions.

I think next weekend is going to be huge for this season.....

Cardiff are at home to QPR
Norwich play a local derby at Ipswich (who are not out of the play offs yet!)
Reading travel to Leeds and
Forest play Leicester

One hell of a result Andy! Didn't see that coming, but Derby's are so different from any other game. I was kinda hoping you'd drop a couple of points as I'm not confident Cardiff will beat QPR on Saturday but hey ho, if they want to avoid last seasons heartache they need to win their last 4 games, starting with QPR!

Thanks Leeds, i reckon that just about rules Reading out of the auto spots now. 4 pts is too much to make up in 3 games.

Apparently we should have won it though.

Still a tough run in for both our teams so it's not quite over yet.

Very original..., :rollseyes:

Anyway, I would have taken a draw beforehand and with the chances it could have gone either way.

Not sure I can see Norwich losing now so it's probably gonna be playoffs again!

Lambert Manager of the Year?

Lambert has done an incredible job. Hes completely galvonised the team and supporters. We were at rock bottom when he took over, now we're just 3 games away from back to back promotions.

I've just got this feeling we wont make it easy for ourselves, i just cant see us winning all 3 games although we're more than capable.

Maybe he should have had Bellendmy's work rate - which consisted of falling on the floor everytime an R's player went anywhere near him, and cried for a free kick?

2 more points and we're champions!! Come on you Rrrrrrr's

Fantastic win for Palace over Leeds today. They've secured their championship football (unless Sheff Utd score 10 goals more than their opponents in 2 games and palace don't get any more points or palace get no more points and lots of goals in their last 2 games). Great for the club after the unfairness of last season and playing with a mix & match team this season smile

Palace v Forest is their last game of the season, fantastic.
