Now, we all know what's going to happen in 2006...

....Etuhu is going to play a f**king blinder the rest of the season, bossing the midfield and banging them in. Ashton will announce he is staying and go on to get 30 for the season. Leon comes back, keeps fit and adds 14 goals.

Safri will break both legs in the last game of the African Nations - a meaningless qualifier after they are already knocked out. But that doesn't matter because Robinson will be signed and playing better than Makelele.

We sell Green to Portsmouth for 1.5 million and Gallacher comes in and is the star of 10 clean sheets in a row.

Henderson, Brennan, Thorne and both Jarvi are released even though we receive offers for a combined value of 1.5m from other clubs.

We go on to finish third, only 4 pts behind the 2nd place in a storm of a finish. We destroy Crystal Palace in the semi-final, 6-1 on aggregate.

Then, with a full squad to choose from, Norwich appear to be scratching their arses for 90 minutes and lose 7-1 to Luton in the playoff final.
