I'm not sure if our lack of talent is down to our poor organisation as a club or if there's a natural hierarchy which seems to drop off after 4th place (or both). Maybe this shows that the play-offs, as exciting as they can be, reward mediocrity. If we wangle a promotion from here you'd obviously take it but it wouldn't say much for the system.
    I'm sad to see Norwich go down, but the fact that they are going to be relegated with at least four points less than us is a little satisfying given what Chris Sutton said about us. We were always too good to get less points than Derby did all of those years ago, but I'm not sure this squad would if they went up - obviously, we'd sign some players who would improve things a bit, but I wouldn't have thought we'd spend too much in the current financial climate.

    It will be interesting to see what Norwich do since they seem to have gone with the West Brom policy of not over-spending with the hope of challenging again the year after. I imagine they'll do better at that than us, although they've taken a kicking this last month so that might have an effect. Mind you, I'm not even sure it is a policy but something we've persuaded ourselves is what's happening when we don't spend what Wolves spent.

    Watching the Norwich game on MOTD it sounded like they added simulated crowd booing at the final whistle.
