People,
If we'd drawn AWAY to Sheff Wed at the weekend and then won AWAY at Yeovil tonight (thus collecting the same net total of 4 points) would you be reacting in the same way tonight?
No? Thought not.... ;-)
Given one of those two games was vs Sheffield Wednesday I tend to concur with that, although with the results reversed of course. I'm sure if we'd got a draw against Sheff Wed at the weekend and won tonight you'd get a much different perspective and reaction on our position than we'll inevitably see on here this evening....
Funny how the human mind works (or not as the case may be)
:-)
Difference between this season and last:
Last season - if we were 1-1 with 5 mins to go I wouldn't be surprised if we nicked a winner
This season - if we are 1-1 with 5 mins to go I wouldn't be surprised if the opposition nicked a winner
That's the difference in a nutshell

Indeed. We'd almost be better off starting off crap (on purpose) and give away an early goal (on purpose) thus leading the opposition into a false sense of security before kicking into gear and wooping their bottoms.
No one is disputing that it was a free vote. I'm simply stating that, unlike yourself, a percentage of people are open to persuasion and influence.
Not a huge revelation, granted, but observationally accurate nonetheless.
If the unions couldn't / didn't influence anyone's vote, why did they bother phoning their members "up to 37 times" to try and influence them? Bit of a waste of time if people are beyond influence....surely...?
You'll find that (most) Labour voters find it difficult to defend Labour in isolation. Every discussion around defending Labour policy invariably involves dragging the Tories into the equation. (or the 'ConDems' as they now like to humorously rattle off - ho ho)
It's a bit like the smoker who defends their habit by using negative comparisons: "Well, more people are killed crossing the road, innit..."
(some of the above was tongue-in-cheek and thus warrants a *winky face*)
Of course, you'll never catch the Tories doing the same in reverse....
