I'd love it if we smashed that lot out of sight on Friday.

Everything's a bonus for us now, nothing to fear, nothing to lose, just go for it.

Pleased with Cardiff, we've been unlucky not to beat them twice and matched them in both games. We'll play up against them and I think their style gives us more of a chance than Swansea. They must be a little down having been chasing second and eventually finished 4th.

Wouldn't want to face Swansea who've beaten us twice, or Forest who've just hit form. If we can get past Cardiff then I'd fancy us to have a chance against either Swansea or Forest, but I'm still not expecting us to manage promotion.

FiNeRaIn Well if they read this, they were lucky twice against us this season and we should have beaten them twice. Goal never crossed the line at our place and scoring an equaliser that was at least 2 minutes after the amount of injury time given at theirs - laughable. Morally, we've beaten them twice this season already so not sure why they are so confident. Anything can happen in the play-offs as has been seen.

Revenge time. That's got to spur our team on.

The goal at the Madjeski didn't look like it crossed the line at the time, but wasn't there a pic showing it over afterwards? And I thought we played well enough in the second half of that game to take the point to be honest.

And as for the 2-2 game - Didn't Bellamy's equaliser take place in the time added on for all the nonsense after the Reading goal - Liegertwood punching Chopra in the kidneys etc? The free kick took 2 minutes to be taken simply because of the complaints and messing around after the decision (which was within the injury time announced)

Our team will know what happened... and never mind what the FAW said.

Bellamy threw a waterbottle at Nigel Gibbs - it missed and hit Wales Striker Simon Church in the face.

This can't be true, Cardiff have irrefutable video evidence that Bellamy did nothing.

I think the reason he didn't get charged was to do with the fact that no-one had any video evidence of anything in the tunnel.

Let's be honest, none of it was any more than handbags. Stupid nonsense.

Team will be pumped for this. After Tantrums and nearly goals, we are due it to be frank, and our boys will be unstoppable Friday.

The final however? Well...

I've just heard that the last train from Cardiff to Reading on a Tuesday night is at 9:25pm meaning you'd have to miss the second half of the match in order to get home... just thought anyone with more than 1600 royalty points should know... :wink:

^ this. Shame if we cock it up but only a shame.

I'm already looking forward to next season no matter what league we're in.

That's a bit of a joke especially since 8 of us planned to take the train there and back!

I dont really want to advertise this as was hoping to get a ticket but...

Cardiff have THE BEST parking for away fans in the world.

Away car park is right outside the away corner. About 2,000 spaces, purely for away fans as you can't get into home area from it. Its signposted off the motorway.

For the 2-2 draw I left work at 5-30, raced along the M4, waiting in a queue of home fans on the roudn down form the M4 for 15 mins but then you are signposted around the back and welcomed in by some very friendly welsh stewards. Drove right up to the ground at 7-40 and went straight in.
