Surprised he hasn't brought on a couple of subs TBH.

During the interlude, read this little vignette from football365 (I think)
Where is Mike Dean this week?
I don’t really know how to break this news in any other way but giving it you straight, but Mike Dean has been disrespected. Not only has he not been given one of the FA Cup semi-finals – “Who the f**k is Craig Pawson anyway?” – but Dean has not even got a Premier League game.
Instead he is fourth official for Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough, the refereeing equivalent of being sent to Coventry. As well as engineering tension between the two dugouts in order to create controversy and planting jewellry on unsuspecting substitutes just to feel the buzz of telling them off, Dean will be composing limericks about his new nemesis.
“When I heard about Wembley and Pawson,
My language did immediately coarsen.
It should be Mike Dean there,
With his wit, charm and flair.
And his body in perfect proportion.”

The Bristol game is the only important game left this season - and if we win that the Villa game will be a bit Pritchardy too

BBC say Norwich. Norwich and Villa away were always going to be tall orders, PL squads with home advantage.
The recent run of wins came at the right time.
Reality check, good for Winstanley & co to know now.
Subs in the first half? Right

Well, from what I saw, that was a better performance than the first half against Wigan. Norwood best player on the pitch up until the first goal. Oh well. We are going up, they aren't!

We can still be champions monday evening if Newcastle lose.
Dont get the selection at all, no recognised second striker, Norwood over Stephens, and Dunks passing tonight, he looks like he's still pissed.

I am still suffering placebo effect-style stress from what I'm like watching us ordinarily. Not much in it but for 2 bad pieces of luck and crap refereeing. Just think this could have happened to us prior to mathematically guaranteeing promotion; imagine that before losing your shit. Everything is good!

How pissed off would we be over a) playing so poorly and b9 losing to those frankly ridiculous goals if we weren't already promoted? Instead I can chuckle to myself at the ludicrous nature of the goals and can wait until next saturday fro the title.

While following the match I'm also watching the first episode of the new series of Murder in Successville and I've just seen Richard Osman blowing on DI Sleet's meat and 2 veg in an undercover operation!
Only when we use naughty words!
