Definitely a Cardiff win... just want to win the title ASAP...
Simple enough. We only have to match Newcastle's result at Cardiff to be Champions. But what do you WANT ?
Do you want a Cardiff WIN, so that Saturdays match kicks off as a dead rubber, with Bristol giving us the guard of honour onto the pitch, job done before a ball is kicked ? How about a DRAW, so that all we have to do is avoid defeat against Bristol to raise that trophy to the heaving THRONGS in the stands. Or a Newcastle WIN, meaning we also have to go out and WIN, or else wait another 8 days to try to seal it at Villa ?
I'm going option 3. I trust this team to finish the job, and would prefer to arrive at the Amex with a certain FRISSION of excitement to see us do just that. To win that game, and hoist that famous old trophy aloft for the first time in our entire history having gone and won a MEANINGFUL game to achieve it, would be truly epic. That's how I want to celebrate. That does leave the door slightly ajar for a bit of a fvck-up, but hey. Lets trust them.

Cardiff WIN. Just to see the adorable smile on our mutual friend's face
But you just KNOW that he'll forever claim that "Cardiff won the title for you boyo's, isn't it"
Still a bit undecided on this. I'll probably be watching the game at home on Kodi, in my skiddies, with a few tinnies and a takeout. If we are actually crowned champions TONIGHT, then it'll be a bit low-key, its not quite going to have that epic feeling. I feel I should at least be in a pub somewhere that's absolutely RAMMED, jumping around like a loon, getting drenched in beer, and crawling home at 2am in a drunken state with no keys or trousers.
Save it for Saturday I suppose.
Lascelles, Anita, Hanley, Jesus, Gayle all missing too for the barcodes. Rafa resting those with 'niggles'.
