Opinion: “Soccer is never more exciting than when everything is in balance.”

Many Norwich fans will remember May 1985, and even those who don't will already have a grudge against Division One champions Everton for the surprise defeat against Coventry City that saw the Canaries relegated. Might have taken over. Everton had already clinched the title before going into the final matchday, and it's hard to escape the suspicion that the Toffees were suffering in classic on-the-beach mode. Norwich City are once again working harder than ever.
A lot of us are really hoping to make the playoffs and go into this weekend, but there's a somewhat healthy feeling in the fact that we're fighting hard. While all teams should technically field a full-strength squad, if a team ends up without a play on the final day, underlying mentality and sub-bench composition can completely eliminate potential bias. cannot be removed.
Apart from being completely unsportsmanlike and slightly disrespectful towards the opposition team, such an attitude is downright offensive, especially to Norwich City fans who felt the sting of 1985. It should be something.
Football is never as exciting as it is when everything is in the balance. Victory feels even better when your heart is racing, your adrenaline is pumping, and your breath is suffocating.
We are in a good position going into the weekend, but Birmingham have a lot to fight for and it would be foolish to underestimate their greed for three points, but for the reasons above, this Glad the season is coming to an end and in front of a packed away support.
To all the match pickers who chose Birmingham (A), and I know there are quite a few of you, including my father, you are a deeply religious person, a hopeless romantic, an optimist. I can only assume that he was a believer in the following. They will likely end the season with promotion or the play-offs.
Remember, these match pick selections are made in preseason before the dice are cast. It might be a little disappointing if the story of the season ended before this stage, leaving loyal supporters unable to celebrate in full.
To all those supporters and Birmingham (A) match pickers – bravo! I hope that your belief will be felt by the players on Saturday and beyond. I am sure that the young people will put on a great performance to show what your faith has brought to you. As for a last-minute bid to ensure a playoff berth…are you worried? Of course, don't worry about the danger.
