Yes that was a great day down at Cardiff.

I don't want City to go down, but when I saw 18-1 this week I thought that was a good value bet when Charlton were 1-4 for relegation. Not a good result today for you. Your games in hames are almost negated with Chelsea and Arsenal. Just stay up as I desparatley wantg Charlton to be relegated after the treatment we got there on that Sunday
Charlton to go down would be fantastic!!

It's strange how there fans have a thing about Palace, but I don't know any Palace fans who give a monkeys about Charlton?! Very bizarre......maybe they just hate having no real enemies/rivals??

We had an executive box that day at cardiff.....9 Eagles fans and me.....private bar, complete with bar wench! and a TV to watch any controversial moments on!! Many things were blurry around the edges as the day progressed.....had a good chat with Geoff Thomas there which was nice...what a great fella he is....glad his health has improved ;-))

Just think Derby will lose the plot, and Birmingham have the edge over us with the game in hand.

Sunderland have the momentum. Then it'll be a Midlands side.

Derby (my team) will slip away...
Ahem.

We'll have less of that, soldier.

Unfortunately Derby's game in hand is against Birmingham.

But if we get something out of that...

If we can adapt to the St Andrews Pitch/Bog then we might have a chance... just got this nagging feeling we'll contrive to blow it.

That said though, this is Billy Davies in charge and his last team (Preston) always finished strongly.

Fracking good on Friday against Colchester though.

So I waited and waited..and we lost 3-1 away at Preston.

All the match reports said Saints dominated in classy style but failed to finish...Preston made the most of their few chances and one goal was an own goal..

I'm not going to get my hopes up for Saints... they lack what it takes to make the prem and are prob better off staying another year in the 1st.

Its just so heart breaking building up your hopes and having the dream shattered.. I loved the days when Saints sat in the middle of the prem and sometimes threatened to go to europe..then came the years of relegation worries..but they always came through. This year, they have the man, the plan the players and the fans but lack the bottle.
I'm sort of hoping that one of them is a closet rhp player, will read this and tell the lads to pull up socks ahahahahahahaha sob sob sob.. ;o
Footy blood runs deep.

Should've been 3 up by half time last night, then let in a soft one which handed Preston the initiative for the 2nd half.

Unlikely to go up if that form carries on.

Massive game for the Rams vs the Canaries tonight!!! C'mon you Rams!!!!
