Bloody hell, I had to check to make sure I hadn't written that. You are living my life this week mate :-)

Yep. I think we have missed him.

I forgot all about him. What a waste of time that loan was for everyone concerned. Having said that I would have him ahead of Puncheon.

Please start with De Ridder Nigel and leave Guly on the bench.

Thats excellent. Im tempted not to look at this site again until after Saturday cos nothing is gonna top this post.

They would be so gutted finishing third they wouldnt even make the Wembley final.

Yes.

West Ham have to win by 4 goals if we draw as i understand it.

Agreed

We will have WON promotion to the Premiership wont we ? We wont have gone up by sneaking through the back door, two teams WIN promotion automatically, we should be one of them, therefore we are winners. What a miserable lot of sods you are

Totally agree. I have already assumed that West Ham will win tomorrow....so if they dont it will be a wonderful surprise, no point thinking they will do anything else really, it will only, as you say, give you a horrible deflated feeling.

Reading booked one before winning the league, thanks partly to us of course, the day after they were promoted. Norwich and Swansea both did it last year, dont know about QPR. Even Bournemouth did it ffs when they went up a few years back. Lets hope we are in a position this time next week to find out for real wether we do or not !!

Jos is the only one I would start as a regular IF we go up. The two left backs and two right backs we have will both get murdered whilst Fonte is getting pushed around in this league so God knows what the Prem strikers would do to him.

I have a hefty bet on Skybet saying they wont. I dont mind losing it btw. Besides it wont matter, we will beat Coventry....it will just be one hell of a long week.

I feel a bit better than I did yesterday, I dont think I spoke from the final whistle until I went to bed after MOTD. I think I feel ok today because I just cannot contemplate us not beating Coventry, cant see any other scoreline than a home win. I am however booking next Monday as leave from work, just in case it does go tits up. Dont want to be sacked for punching some smart arsed gob****e

You mean we play a lot of what Gordon Strachan used to call propoganda football dont you ? I agree, we do.

None of whom are still at the club....which Pearson probably knows to be fair.

I wouldnt fancy sitting at St Marys next week mid way through the second half while we are drawing 0-0 whilst someone with a radio tells us that West Ham only need another goal and we are down to 3rd. We have to act as if a win is the only result that will do.....cos I think it will be.

Just out of interest what did he do wrong when he came on ? Or put it another way, was he any worse than the rest when he came on ? Anyone know if De Ridder picked up an injury ? Cant see why Bart was on the bench after so many games of going with 5 outfield players.

You missed the fkin point chum, this defence will not be able to consolidate in the Prem.....i never mentioned winning the fkin thing.

I have said it before and I will say it again - IF we go up we need a whole new defence, the teams in the prem would have a field day against our full backs and against Fonte. All of those who tell me Fox is great will see up against the top players just how far he is away from his man whenever the opposition get the ball. Good players in the Championship, a different ball game in the Premiership.

Its not a Tuesday though

You cant possibly say that cos you just dont know what Adkins and his coaching staff might have done to turn a raw 18 year old into a bloody fine player. He was good for us, better than he has been anywhere else. Coincidence or not ? Who knows but I just dont understand this mentality that slags him off whenever possible. Have a look at the JPT Final DVD again ;-)

I can concentrate a bit better today than I could Tuesday but its still dragging....

Not nervous at all. We have three shots at this promotion malarky. Win Saturday and its all over......if we dont - West Ham fail to beat Leciester on Monday and its all over......if they do - Beat Coventry and we are up. Simples......the time to panic will be if there are 5 minutes left against Coventry, we are drawing and the Hammers are winning by enough to pip us.
