Is this our year? No pressure on us.......

Playoffs for the 3rd year running, emotional hell for the 3rd year running. 
But this time i'm quite optimistic, which I haven't been for the 2 previous years.
Why?
Because in previous years we've been massive favourites to win them, especially last year. With the squad we had there's no doubt we should have. Whether we like it or not we didn't cope with the pressure.
But this year although we've been in the playoff positions all season, everyone expected us to fall away. But we kept fighting and scrapping results that we haven't been doing in previous seasons. There seems to be a great ethic in the squad that they never give up and fight for everything, 2 key attributes you need for the playoffs.
I said a few weeks back that if we get into the playoffs then I wanted West Ham, due to the fact that they're in the position we've been in previous seasons. All the pressure is on them, plus the 2nd leg is at Upton Park. They'll be under massive pressure, we've been playing very well away from home and If we can get a good result at home I think they'll crumble from the pressure from the WHU faithful.
What I can guarantee, it's going to be another emotional rollercoaster!! But hopefully more good than bad
I'm hoping the phrase 3rd time lucky is one that comes true for us. But whatever happens we can hold our heads up high, but I truly believe that THIS IS OUR YEAR!
City fans just remember one thing:
BELIEVE!!!

Not only this, but this is the 50th year since we were last in the top flight. Is it fate?
