Anyone watching the game in New York?

Nevada Smiths is not an option, too many superstitions from our last play-off game. I'm still haunted by the sight of the American who had his father-in-law's ashes (a Cardiff season ticket holder) under his chair and cried with joy after Kermorgant's miss. Need another spot to down those butterflies.

team finishing 6th have only been promoted 20% of the time over the last 20 years

its time to improve those figures

Interesting article, particularly how it debunks the myth that teams that finish 3rd never go up whilst also supporting the theory that the teams with momentum do pretty well.

Perhaps of most concern

No side with form as poor as Leicester's (1.29 points per game since 1 April) and Crystal Palace's (1.00 points per game) has been promoted in the last 20 years
 
Wow, feeling very nervous. Just over an hour to go.

I just feel that either we will have relaxed at finally getting to the play-offs and put on a really good show OR have another silly first five minutes.

Yes but of the last 84 play-off qualifiers over that period only 9 teams have ever qualified for the play-offs with a points ratio per game of 1.29 or less

The last time 2 teams with such a ratio got into the play-offs (ie us & Palace this year) was in 2007-2008 the team who were eventually promoted (Hull) beat who in the First leg? Watford

And were was the referee from the first leg in that first leg? Leicester

Fate.....that or lies, damn lies & statistics
 
3 0 foxes that is all! Come on boys!
