Blimey, my blue and white striped blinkers glasses have surpassed themselves,     

Sadly have Vile sneaking in on goal difference 

1   Norwich City                     46   26   13   7   92:58   34   91
2   West Bromwich Albion       46   25   10   11   88:56   32   85
3   Leeds United                  46   24   12   10   75:48   27   84
4   Sheffield United                  46   24   11   11   75:43   32   83
5   Bristol City                  46   21   13   12   61:45   16   76
6   Aston Villa                          46   18   18   10   86:63   23   72

If nothing else you've made me smile. Definitely cheered me up.

What size straitjacket do you need?

Reminds me of the Great Escape, when Portsmouth supporters celebrated their defeat, as it meant Southampton had been relegated.

I do really admire your optimism, it has raised spirits and hope. To test it, I’ll take another large “swig” out of the half full glass and, we’ll look at that, lo and behold, it’s still have full, thank you!

This could be a very expensive dozen words.


We're absolute shoe ins for top 6.

[Standaman]

It might only need another win at this point to get 6th I wouldn't bet against that.

But you wouldn’t really, would you?

And what odds would you be offering?

If I've read Webby's post correctly he's stated the squad won't make the play offs.

Top two perhaps?

[baggiemart]

I think Leeds will miss out on automatic. So 2 defs for the play offs are Leeds and us finishing 3rd and 4th don't know which way around.

The next 2 places are a lottery its so close.  i have a feeling Villa will miss out. They have some tough fixtures , Norwich at home last match. Leeds away last away match and they have also got to go to Sheff wed which brings into account the Steve Bruce factor.

The other 2 I think will be  Boro and Derby who have an easy run in.

So could be us against Derby again in the play Offs ..................  Deja Vu

[hunsletbaggie]

All my mates have been texting me saying Leeds are nailed on top two now.
Apparently all the players were celebrating like they had won promotion at the end of the game today.
I hope they do go straight up because I couldn't stand losing to them again in the play offs sooner take playing the vile and Sheff Utd over the Leeds scumballs

[TheJacko2000]

At the end of the day they were only playing Millwall. Still see them tailing off badly as Bielsa sides do. If we finish above Sheffield United then we won't be in the play offs imo.

How do we place bets please??

[morecambewba]

presuming we end up in playoffs. anyone know when games will be.cant see any exact dates yet.. if we finish 3rd or 4th will we be home or away in first leg?

[BAGGIE5]

3rd or 4th is at home 2nd leg. Usually the Saturday after the season ends.

SF dates to be confirmed as per EFL and FA websites. We would be away in the 1st leg if we finish top 4.

[morecambewba]

thanks to both for quick replies

[baggie82]

I don't fancy us, players are weak and unconvincing. The whole club is a mess. Wouldn't surprise me if Villa turned us over.

[elkiellis]

we are definitely going to make them,but I really cant see us getting past the semis

[AlbionBest]

We'll make them but we are just a rudderless shambles at the moment so no expectation to get through the semis at the moment.

[tuamigos]

They are certainly the form team at the moment.
I would put money on them for promotion rather than us at the minute

[WBAinDEVON]

its going to be painful

[baggiemart]

I think we still need 2 more wins.

76 pts should be enough for the play offs.

but if we lose to Bristol and Villa and derby win

Bristol will be 5pts behind with a game in hand.

villa will be 4pts behind.

derby will be 7pts behind with a game in hand and we have to play them last match.

so it looks like squeaky bum time !!!!

[tuamigos]

Pro athletes view things differently to fans. They have mates in other teams so they're not likely to be swayed in the same way we are.

And I'd be very upset if we basically gave Derby a win just to get one over on the Villa. I always want us to win.

Oh and me 

[wbarenno]

We will beat hull and Rotherham to home to guarantee our play off spot
