I remember telling somebody they could quote me on the fact that Tootenham wouldn't make Champions League. Can't remember who :thinking:

 

Wasn't this only quite recently to be fair? I think it was Navegador and I think City were at least 3 points ahead of Spurs.

Six years after a well-refreshed Delia Smith ranted ‘Let’s be ’avin’ you’ at football fans, she has delivered an action replay.

Addressing a crowd of 40,000 celebrating Norwich City’s promotion, she broke into chants, giggled, tripped over her words, mispronounced the manager’s name and swore.

Delia, 69, the majority shareholder in the club, had attended a champagne reception at the City Hall before heading out on to the balcony with husband Michael Wynn Jones and other club directors.

She was handed a microphone and started chanting ‘Come on, let’s be ’avin’ you’ – recreating her 2005 half-time address after the team had squandered a 2-0 lead.

The multi-millionairess cookery queen started chuckling as her husband commented: ‘Anyone would think she’d invented the bloody phrase.’

She went on to call Norwich manager Paul Langbert, instead of Lambert, mistakenly called on the fans to toast ‘staying up’ instead of celebrating promotion to the Premier League, and used an expletive which had some parents reaching to cover their children’s ears.

‘Just think of this wonderful thing,’ she said. ‘We haven’t gotta go in the fr**ging play-offs next year.’ A presenter on BBC Radio Norfolk, which was broadcasting the event live, said: ‘Delia Smith,

 

Another added: ‘I think this is as good a place as any to leave it, don’t you?’

The emotional outpouring happened shortly after dignitaries including the city’s Lord Mayor had left the balcony.

The team, which finished second in the Championship behind QPR, had also departed to board a bus for a triumphant tour through the streets.

A witness said: ‘It was all a bit cringeworthy.

 

‘She was holding the microphone at a funny angle like she thought she was a pop singer.

 

‘I think she feels she has to fit in with the “football crowd”. Everyone was relieved when it came to an end.’

A club spokesman refused to say whether Delia had been drinking.

 

However, she is known to like a tipple and once admitted on her website that she would never be a ‘one-glass’ girl.

 

Her 2005 rant came after Manchester City managed to draw level after 45 minutes despite having gone 2-0 down.

 

She grabbed a microphone from the club announcer and shouted: ‘A message for the best football supporters in the world. We need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let’s be ’avin’ you. Come on.’

I'd like to see Bellamy join Cardiff and play in the Prem again.

But Swansea would be my choice.

thats an interesting one. There'll either be plenty of Utd fans out celebrating a title win, or a Stoke win, or both. Or if they win the title and the FA Cup goes to City, come late saturday evening when they're all back from Wembley the streets might turn nasty! Whatever happens, the pubs will be full of Utd fans from lunchtime until early evening getting trolleyed over two games.

Thinking more closely about it, there may well be problems around 2pm ish, as City fans without tickets find places to watch the final about the same time as Man Utd either win the title or get beat. I'm only speculating on trouble but even if there isn't I doubt there will be much security on by then!
