Good stuff. Hope promotion is secured ASAP, will be a party pretty much to the end of the season and the place would be bouncing.

Have they been in a worse position at this point and survived during their recent series of escape acts? Just had a look on Statto. No, this is the worse position they've been out of their escape seasons. I know they do it every season but they'll go this time I think. looks insurmountable, they've got to come close to doubling their current points tally with 11 games instead of the 29 it's taken them to get where they are now unless 3 other teams embark on a nosedive of incredible proportions seems very hard to see them escaping, they'll need to be staying up on <35 points which is an ask surely I can see them winning against Burnley (h), Boro (a) and Bournemouth (h), and getting draws against West Ham (h), Swansea (h) and Watford (a). So that's 12 points, which puts them on 31 in total, which I don't think will be enough. I think Hull will beat them - Silva's got them unbeaten at home iirc - as will Man Utd, Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea. Hull's home games look decent enough: West Ham, Boro, Watford, mackems and Spurs. Palace's game look awful but they'll get results with Jabba in charge, especially when looking at Watford (h), Leicester (h), Burnley (h) and Hull (h). Boro's games also look terrible, out of the ones they have left I can currently only see them beating Burnley at home. It'll be the mackems, Boro and either Hull or Palace.

Absolutely spot on, but the bold part is a bit far, like.

Nah, I think they'll finally go this time. They've got 19 points iirc and they'll need around 16-17 points from 11 games to stand a chance of staying up. Those 11 games include Man Utd (h), Arsenal (a), Chelsea (a) and they've still got to go to Hull for a six pointer who are decent at home under Silva.

Looks like he's got a genetic disorder. http://i.imgur.com/BLlclYq.jpg

There's also a chance the away fans won't be moving to pitch side anyway.

That'd leave Huddersfield needing 7 wins plus a draw or another win to go ahead of us. Not impossible for them but they need to be at 100% for the rest of the season because we'll win 5 games easily. Not to mention the fact that Huddersfield could catch Brighton first. Still a 10 for me. We've just got too many points on the board now and will comfortably finish over 90. I think we'll be on 86 after the next 3 games with 6 still to play. This.

It was his plan to lose 1-3?

Birmingham in the league is the last one I can remember.

They outplayed us, from start to finish. Shite.

As soon as the whistle goes in the Barnsley game on the last day this will be what everyone will be talking about for a while. I'm going to be a wreck

The reason they were moved from the west corner of the L7 Leazes to the east side was to assist policing/stewarding i.e. only having one end of segregation. Would cause problems to move them anywhere else now. Aye, hopefully the club will get their own way. Absolutely ridiculous rule that offers f*** all other than inconveniencing clubs like us with a grand stadium rather than those daft Lego setups. Agreed. Why was the rule put into place anyway? To give fans a worse view and cause massive inconvenience for stewards and police? And anyway if it was absolutely compulsory wouldn't it only affect us and the mackems (if they stayed up)? Aye, we're the only ones who it'd effect. mackems would just move them back to behind the goal. A rule bought in with Sky's influence to MAKE VIEWING EVEN BETTER!!! If we had to move them we'd have them out of view of the TV cameras anyway

Whos that? Refereed our cup game against WBA last time we were in the Championship and he was terrible Wasn't he worse than the ref we had at Forest in that cup game? Can remember how Hughton going absolutely off it at him, and he's usually a calm bloke.

Fucking hell

"We are due a win/loss/thrashing" etc. I don't get it "We haven't been thrashed in a while, therefore it will happen in the next few games"

IIRC that's more than they ever brought up in the PL. Usually brought around 800.

Ritchie off the post.
