Going to watch Leeds burnley with a Leeds fan mate. Now, who to support?

Cardiff City 1-0 down at home to Boro. Lita.

Please let them mess it up again. I do love watching their yearly bottle job; still can't buy promotion with Bellamy.

(Touch wood - this had better not come back to haunt me at Wembley)

[Archie's penalty]

2 down now.

[Upper West Ginger]

Agent Lita with 1 score and 1 assist.
On the evidence of this defence, I'd love to have Cardiff in the playoffs.

[rhroyal]

I live in hope that every season Cardiff stay down and miss out on the Premier League money, the closer they come to having all their spending catch up with them. This summer? Yes please.

They'll lose Bellamy, Boothroyd and possibly Whittingham at the very least.

[Upper West Ginger]

0-3

[Archie's penalty]

I reckon on this form Forest will beat Cardiff in the playoffs, 4-3 win again in the final?

[rhroyal]

This is fantastic!

[Royal Lady]

If Cardiff miss out on automatic promotion today because of this game, no matter what happens in their final game - they will go into the play-offs thoroughly dejected - particularly as they lost the PO final last season too.

And we just happened to be at the bar where they had planned their "Promotion Party" - LOL!!!

I reckon Burnley can do 'em final game too; have them utterly crushed for it.

*Is my hatred for them a little irrational and OTT?*

[Royal Lady]

Not at all!!

On this form, Cardiff will end up finishing 4th and will play us and not Forest. Final day's fixtures:

Burnley v Cardiff
Swansea v Sheff Utd

If it finishes like this, Cardiff will need to win at Burnley as a draw will enable Swansea to overtake them on GD providing they beat Sheff Utd.

Yes I know that Swansea beating Sheff Utd isn't a formality, but the Cardiff end of the season is starting to look a bit like our bottle job of 08/09 - limping backwards into the playoffs and eventually finishing 4th....

[rhroyal]

All Cardiff's problems coming down their left/Boro's right apparently. If they fall to 4th, unleashed the Kebe.

[Royal Lady]

I can see us beating Cardiff more than I can see us beating Swansea to be honest.

Would rather have Cardiff then Swansea.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Agreed!

And, with the ridiculous playoff scheduling in mind, it's about 45 minutes closer for the away leg!

Surely there is no easier game than Sheff Utd at home!

Agreed we should win 5-0
