Smith: Could not hide excitement at Premier League return<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Norwich joint majority shareholder Delia Smith admits that the club’s return to the Premier League feels like a dream.<\/p>\n

Victory at Portsmouth on Monday night confirmed the Carrow Road outfit’s place in the Championship’s top two and a spot back in the top flight next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manager Paul Lambert has now guided Norwich to back-to-back promotions since taking over a League One side in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Smith confesses to being ‘absolutely ecstatic’, as she said: “What an amazing two years we have had.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Paul has done a terrific job. He is the tops – and a brilliant manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am wondering whether I will wake up in the morning and all this has not happened.”
Delia Smith<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m absolutely ecstatic. I really can’t believe this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miracle<\/span><\/h4>\n

“I am wondering whether I will wake up in the morning and all this has not happened.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Lambert had himself described promotion to the Premier League as a ‘miracle’ in the wake of the win over Portsmouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think it’s unbelievable what’s happened here in the last two years,” the Scot told Sky Sports HD1<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a miracle, that’s what it is. It’s an absolute miracle.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I never thought this was going to happen. To come from League One and to do it back-to-back, honestly it’s a miracle that it’s happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the lads and that group of fans deserve it.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
