No need to be nervous. After 42 games we are top of the championship, by 6 points with a game in hand over our nearest rivals Norwich City.
Many previous seasons with 4 games we;ve had the luxury of booking summer holidays knowing that this time of the season is pretty pointless. More than once had to endure watching teams get promoted in our back yard or travel away to see it done against us.
Now this is our time.. This team and its supporters have worked so hard. The team for its brave performances and the supporters for backing them by travelling up and down the country.
Lets make no bones about it Cardiff City players and supporters are nervous, really nervous. That in itself puts our position in the league into prespective, we are not 3rd in the league wondering what Norwich are doing, we are TOP. We are the ones for so long this season having stood proud above all other teams in this position. The win for Norwich against Ipswich heaps massive amounts of pressure on the Cardiff City board and players. They failed in the previous two seasons and that has to be preying heavily on their mind. If we can hold out for the first 20 minutes, you watch the Cardiff fans get on the players back.
Every other team in this league wants to be where we are, any negative comments towards us are borne out by jealousy.
For me its not even about revenge about the Play Off final, a year later we made it anyway and who knows in hindsight were probably much stonger to hold our own in the championship.
For me tomorrow, its about proving who the best team in this league is. No-one says it will be easy, but then again travelling up to places Reading, Barnsley, Leicester and getting 3 points are not either.
Of course it adds extra spice that its Cardiff, if we do win it not only proves to all our fans that we are the best team in the division, it proves it to everyone else.
We have longed for the days like this and its our time to be brave, reap the rewards of a long hard season, by getting that ultimate prize.
