Whitey Grandad

Certainly not.

Wigan v Swansea on Tuesday evening is the key for me. By then it should be much clearer what we need to achieve.

Good, every little helps.

Done, well and truly.

To paraphrase Stingray, anything can happen in the next three games.

Spring, all year long.

They did exactly that last season.

True, they would see them as a sign of weakness.

Yes, it looks like the plane was pulled into a stall.

Newcastle would be good.

I have one too.

Er... if we lose at Spurs then they might actually gain a point on us.

I fully understand all the odds and statistics but they relate to the situation at the end of the season. My concern is that we could be going into the game at Stoke needing a point or three to be certain of security, so a more relevant question for me is 'what are the odds that we will be safe before kick-off at 16:00 on May 19th?'

He might have brought it in himself.

And don't discount the effect of the Cup Final on Wigan's performances before and after..

Yes, I knew that, I was just being an old pedant. It was the manner of the defeat that disheartened me.

That's where I used to go to in the late sixties.

Have you forgotten Saturday already? I wish I could.

6 games unbeaten?

Oops again.

Yeah, no worries. They're all out on loan at the moment.

Oops. If they carry on like this their goal difference will match ours.

They could even be safe by the time they face Wigan

A lovely man, always willing to hang around and talk to you. I remember his last game at White Hart Lane after we had been beaten something like 3-0. As he left the pitch he had a last wistful look around the stadium. Sometimes life's just not fair. May he Rest in Peace.

I would be inclined to wait until the season is over before we decide how successful it has been. At the very least, a few places difference amounts to quit a bit of prize money.
