We’re measurable - but not overwhelming- odds against making the Play Off Final. We’re massive odds against making the FA Cup Final.

Definitely agree we go full strength v Arsenal. Blasphemy to even think this - but if we are getting well beaten, we will probably give up on the match and make subs with the league in mind.

If you haven’t tuned in to Forest v Fulham, then don’t. The first half was so bad that my retinas are now permanently scarred.

They are on a run of great form...but generally against poorer teams.

West Ham holding City with 5 mins to go. Spurs going down would be epic

The Skates getting dragged into the relegation scrap big time

Leicester continue to implode....3-1 down at home to QPR having taken the lead.

West Brom leading v Hull. Maybe Hull are indeed catchable…

West Brom 1-0 Hull

Superb result. V solid performance too. I gave us little chance without Scienza.

My head says it's still a bit of a stretch for us to make it. We need one hell of a continued run in the last 11 games. Doable, but slightly odds against at a guess to be completely rational about it.

Agreed. Can’t see dysfunctional Spurs coping with the mighty Imps.

Looks like it is just a race for 6th then. With about 7 teams in that race (but Saints well placed).

When will scheduling be decided? It's barely 3 weeks away....

Looks to me that it might all hang on that rearranged Wrexham match.

Interesting. Was unaware of that rule. I wonder how much time you're allowed to leave? What speed are you expected to move at?

Everyone is focused on the moving ball, isn't the real issue that there were several Fulham players in the box? So, even if the ball had been dead, the goal kick would have to be retaken?

To play that well and create so many chances which such low possession is superb. Fuck the stats, we were worthy winners. Get in!

Game over. Does the red carry over into a suspension for League games?

I'm in a minority here, but I like the change. Sure, top 3 going up and no play offs is technically fairest, but can be boring (promotion race this season would be almost over with Cov, Boro and Ipswich going up...maybe just one other team involved). If you're going to have play-offs, I think they should be weighted so that the higher placed team have a meaningful advantage. That doesn't really happen at the moment (3rd plays 6th rather than 5th..... and the 3rd and 4th placed teams get the second leg at home.....not a big deal). The new format means that teams 3 and 4 have a measurable advantage over teams 5 and 6 who also have a measurable advantage over teams 7 and 8. I might tilt that even further by having the semi-finals as a single leg at the better placed team's ground but I basically like the change that is coming in.

The Spurs position is fucking hilarious. I usually try and callibrate these things to Saints' advantage within a millimetre. (if we are going down, who do we want to go down with us....if we aren't going up, who do you NOT want to go down etc etc). But the potential banter and piss-taking if Spurs get relegated would out trump any such thoughts.... Please, please, make it happen.

Fuck Hollywood. I want to see Goliath slay David!

That away game at Wrexham is pretty mahoosive....

I want us to keep signing Latin American players and am always enormously excited each and every time we do. (Even though I know deep down it never works out)

The sort of game we should have won comfortably without breaking a sweat or getting out of second gear. And, basically, we did.
