paddypower odds for promotion

Forest 9/4
Cardiff 12/5
Leicester 11/4
Blackpool 3/1

Not sure who dreams up these odds for 50-50 games



Blessing in disguise maybe. Billy Davies was interviewed earlier in the year and he more or less said they werent ready to go up, he said he went up with a team before who werent ready and he lost his job over it (Derby in 2007). He even said this week that none of the 4 teams were good enough to go up. Whilst he will be dissapointed for a couple of days, i think he get over it fairly quickly. It would have been nice to see us on MOTD next year instead of the programme after it, but not getting beat by 3, 4 or more every week. Fair play to Blackpool they were class tonight. but if they get up, you would have to fear for them next season

Enjoyable game and some good goals. Blackpool are a decent footballing side but will struggle alright if they go up. Young Coleman looks a decent prospect for us

yes, was making plans earlier with a liverpool mate of mine who was in my house when Forest went 1-0 up. We were discussing how to go about getting tickets for the City Ground :D

Maybe next year !!

DJ Campbell scored a nice hat-trick tonight, Blackpool is good place to spend a weekend away next season me thinks  :P

Was glad for Blackpool, Seamus Coleman who is on loan from Everton was great player for Sligo Rovers for yrs, still only young and developing well.

I have great time for Holloway aswell, would love to see him in the premiership. I did feel sorry for Forest, I like to see bug clubs back where they belong like ourselves so hopefully theyll do better next yr.

If Leicester win tonight DJ Campbell wont be allowed play in the final as he is on loan from leicester, so he'll be hoping cardiff win.

He said as much last night so I can't see him back at Leicester anyway!
Coleman was v impressive again last night.

Coleman is a serious prospect alright and really the ROI senior management should be nurturing him starting now. He's already as good as anything we have in that position and could be really top class. Moyes will make sure his development continues along the right path. Tony Hibbert will be looking nervously over his shoulder.

Always admired McPhail. A bit of a mystery why it never really took off for him. Large slices of bad luck I suppose though he has still had a decent career. Would be a nice story if he can make it to the Prem with Cardiff.

Rained goals at the end last night. Blackpool will take a bit of stopping, hit form at just the right time. Opposite is true of Forest.

That Leicester boy who tried to chip the penalty needs a good kick up the arse for it... Doing that in a match that big, shocking...

I dunno, if he scored he would have been a great fella. Didn't a Pole do it in the 70's to win the European Championship? If he had of placed it and missed people would be saying he should have blasted it.
