FA Cup 4th Round

At the time of writing Norwich are a little over 9/4 (3.35) on Betfair to beat Blackpool away on Saturday.

Whilst it's true Norwich have certainly had their troubles in recent months, 9/4 is a big price to beat a lower league team. I know there are always cup upsets but that's just it. This is an upset which people want to happen. And for that reason, it won't.

If you saw the faces of the Norwich team before the Tamworth game, you would have been convinced they were going to lose. They were bricking it. And for the first 15 minutes or so they certainly looked like losing. Anyone with access to Betfair would have had some good trading opportunities. But once the first goal went in, classic Dion, that was it. The relief was there for all to see and Norwich capitalised.

They won't be so nervy today. They have something to prove. They won't want a replay at Carrow Road. Ok, Earnshaw is out, but he didn't score at Tamworth. Blackpool will start to be complacent as they think they have a good chance.
