Ever so clever and not one to miss such an opportunity, Neil Warnock says there's no pressure on us - it's all with our rivals who have spent big money:

Maybe aimed particularly at next rivals Derby but won't go unnoticed by the others either
Pressure's on Norwich.
Sorry for being obtuse! Just every time I see someone or a story claiming the pressure is on other teams, I get flashbacks of that failure.
They went on a great run towards the end of the season, so it caught on as kind of ironic comment about false hope/wishful thinking against all the evidence. Can’t remember if DJ said it.
I believe DJ said though when questioned we might have wanted Swansea to overtake on the final game of the season to finish 3rd, after we managed 4 points from our final 4 games. We were then dicked 3-0 by Reading in the Home leg of the play-offs.
He certainly did. We got a last minute equaliser in our last game (can't remember, Burnley away, can't be arsed to check). In his interview he said that "maybe we didn't want to finish 3rd", suggesting we wanted to avoid Forest in the playoffs (who had done the double over us). As it was, Swansea luckily sneaked past Forest, we were woeful in 2 games against Reading and got what we deserved once Bellamy limped off and we were reliant on a clearly not-on-his-game Chopra.
That 0-3 loss at home to Boro during that omnishambles run in was perhaps the most shocking "performance" under DJ. Even by half time I knew that we'd blown it all yet again....
