Saturday's Musings

So it's FA Cup Final Day again and this year without the so called big sides. I have to say i find it very refreshing that smaller sides (no disrespect to Pompey meant) are fighting to win the biggest domestic cup competition in the world even if the press haven't seemed very interested since the semi final stage.So who's going to win? It's got to be the English side,especially after reading about some of the lovely antics that the Welsh followers got up to before the semi final.If you want independence then as far as i am concerned it is all yours.Lets hope the good youth of Bridgend don't get to upset when the Welsh lose.It won't be linked though!
Tomorrow sees Cambridge taking their place back in football league.I wonder how many wagon jumpers will be there and if they even knew where The Shabby Stadium was when Cambridge got relegated.I did have time for the supporters of
Exeter when they played us but after the way that our Salisbury friends got treated a couple of seasons ago any small affinity i had for them simply faded away.
Leeds and
Doncaster at Wembley against each other, now that is a fun one for the London baton boys/girls. If i can find any links to CCTV cameras around the city they will certainly bring me more enjoyment than watching the game.Donny will win as well cos "WE ALL HATE LEEDS AND LEEDS AND LEEDS,,,LEEDS AND LEEDS AND LEEDS".Fifteen points,ha! it should of been demotion to the Conference North.
Glenn
Roeder what a nasty man.Has he got any backroom staff left? I read Chris Lakey's column in the EDP in the week about the club having to move from a far too soft family club to one that is ruthless and brutal.It seems to me Roeder is upsetting/bullying all of the old staff in one way or another so they leave in order to replace them with all of the staff that failed with him at his previous clubs.If he thinks that by firing anyone that criticises him he will make Norwich great then he is doomed to failure.I wonder which part of the Norwich area is now being turned into little "Y I Man" street? Norfolk's second side will be fighting relegation again next season
