Dark Munster

And some shrubbery!

That's a bit worrying interview. Too many smiles and not enough death stares for me. I hope he's not getting soft.

I don’t remember anyone complaining about him being interim manager. And his record during that time was incredible, win after win and night and day compared to Still. So when he was appointed permanently most considered that to be reasonable, even if some had doubts about his lack of experience. He had that bad patch before the January window when some turned on him.

I despise Spurs, not Chelsea. Chelsea have sold us a number of very good players over the years: Livramento, Romeu, Bertrand, Cork, Monkou, Beasant, along with some good loan signings Ugochukwu, and Broja. Lavia is a good player who went the other way, but we got good money and he seems to be made of glass. (Yes I know, Dixon and Speedie, but I blame that on Br*nf**t). Spurs on the other hand have sold us crap like Tommy Fourpast, and bought many of our top players: Højbjerg, Wanyama, Bale (they really took us to cleaners on him), Richards, and we also lost out on Toby Alderweireld to them.

I think many of them are overconfident because of their 4-0 thrashing of us earlier in the season. If so, they are probably in for a rude awakening.

Five at the back, no Bree, Larin or Ross. As you mentioned, a midget up front and that useless hologram in goal. On top of that we are on a 19 league match unbeaten run. Our current team would probably beat that team above 5-0.

Ludicrous possibility on the final round of matches in the PL. Brighton or Brentford could be in a position where they could qualify for the CL (in 6th place) only if they lose to their opponents (who are just above Villa in the table, Man Utd and Liverpool), but not if they draw or win! In short, if Villa win the Europa League and finish 5th, and only 5th, then 6th place gets an extra spot for the CL. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cpqp9eqwe72o

Almost perfect. Total perfection would be Millwall losing and us grabbing third place and getting Hull instead of Boro. But I'm not complaining!

Indeed. Bree loaned out, Will Still, no CF brought in until January, sticking with Bazunu, and as mention above Downs and Roeslev. January's window, and Tonda, were excellent, but if we don't go up those disastrous decisions at the start of the season will be the reason.

Lots of good contenders mentioned here, but surely no contest: Cyle Larin's spectacular overhead kick winner against Millwall in the playoff final at Wembley.

No problem, you'll be relieved to hear Bazunu is back.

Don't listen to this rubbish. He'll be a fantastic goalkeeper for you Cardiff, and a bargain at £10 million.

You're on top form today. You've out MLG-ed yourself! 😀

No, and it would be hilarious if Ipswich and Millwall somehow manage to only draw their last matches, and we score the winner against Preston in the 97th minute, with the ref blowing his whistle immediately afterwards. We'd be in the top 2 all of a one second and end up getting promoted!

We wouldn’t have got to the semi final if Baz was in goal!

4th and home advantage is very much in our hands. Hats off to Sheff. Wed. for putting up a good fight and only losing by the one goal. I was worried Boro would score a hatful and catch us on goal difference.

They are surprisingly modest and give us a lot of respect, and given how many superstars they have, not cocky.

Yes, but don't forget the big difference this time, we have VAR, so won't have a perfectly good goal disallowed!

Correct. If we win our last three, Ipswich can't finish on the same number of points as us. If they win their other three they finish above us, and if they don't we finish above them.

Bugger. That's the end of our winning streak.

As @LiberalCommunist said, so pleased Larin has made this question possible. Shows you how brilliantly he has done, and it's not that Ross hasn't been playing well too. But as long as both remain fit it's a case of rotating both of them, which is ideal.

Let's clarify this once and for all. If Lowe had taken us into administration BEFORE the March 26 cut off that year, the 10 points would've been deducted from that current Championship 2008/09 total. Because we were relegated regardless of the penalty, the "punishment" would have then been used up on a season we already were going down (much like what happened to the Skates in the PL). We would have started the 2009/10 League One season on 0 points rather than -10. BUT, the ruddy-cheeked bastard, out of spite, took us into administration shortly AFTER March 26, on April 2: Since we were relegated by our own performance the 10-point deduction was carried over to the next season. To cover his tracks the ruddy-cheeked bastard used that pathetic excuse that the parent company, not the club, were in administration, and so the 10 point penalty shouldn't apply. Total bullshit, and he knew it. All he had to do was take us into administration a week earlier.

Too big a dice to roll. Also if we defy the odds and avoid the playoffs we'll have two less (vital) games to worry about before our cup final against Leeds. 😁
