Pepe the Horseman Newcastle 21/20 to beat us on Tuesday, if anyone fancies a Judas bet.


Literally printing money. Probably whack on a couple of hundred tbh.

Fulham vs Leeds tonight, definitely hoping for anything but a Fulham win.

Currently Fulham's are the only other result I'm really interested in other than our own. Really hope they drop points in their next 2 tough games or you'd have to start backing them to nick a spot.

Can't see anyone below them making a late charge now.

Although they panned us in the league at CC, I do like the idea of facing Fulham in the playoffs should we get there,

Purely for selfish reasons, living in London means I could easily attend both legs, would need to take some annual leave for the away leg against anyone else.

Wouldn't begrudge a Leeds win, if we got something against Newcastle.

Said this the other day, would love them in the play off semi final with the away leg on a Friday/Saturday night at the cottage.

1-1 finish. Would have preferred a defeat but not too bad

No one else just outside the play offs winning so a decent set of results

yes, fully deserved and an awful decision.

I like Rowett - he always comes over as knowledgable and well spoken on Sky. Bit of grit about him as well.

If Stam did move on, would happily have him take over

yep, would be happy with that too. Also hoping that our owners (present and future) are learning from that horror story, and don't do anything stuupid on the managerial front.

The club/owners, yeah. I feel a bit for Zola himself - must've been impossible to motiv8 the squad after such a event. Much like (although for different reasons) what McDermott had to deal with coming in after Clarke destroyed all the confidence in the team.

Not sure we should worry too much about the rest. We have 10 games left - win 5 and we are in the play offs.

Normally 4 wins would be enough as historically 74 points usually puts you in the play offs but with Fulham in very good form I have a feeling that it will be 78-79 this time. So 5 wins and happy days.

Not too confident of the next 2 games but 5 from the last 8 looks doable.
