Hillarious. The lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy in this post is astounding....

Listen, you sad mathematics stoodent geek, I made a comment that anybody who predicted 20 points were enough was mad. There is no evidence that Huddersfield are suddenly going to go tits-up, and all the evidence in the world they are going to make us work to the finish line to get promoted. I therefore strongly content on current form that 24 is much more likely than 21 or 18 (is 20 even possible anymore ??) and as a result my comment has proven correct. The issue as to whether my predcition that 28 points were needed to guarantee promotion from that day's perspective is an entirely separate issue which was proven wrong fairly quickly - at that time it was actually 27 points. Big Deal, 1 point out. A damn sight more accurate than NickGoebbels and the 20pointers are going to be at the end of the season.

I expressed an opinion that 20 was too little and those thinking it would be enough we a card shortof a full deck. Lo and behold, its beginning to look like 20 was indeed short of the mark... However, back to the discussion... You chose to get involved, you chose to respond to my comment. In the intervening period you have periodically dredged up my assertion (as you have here again) and took the p*ss out of it, yet you have the nerve now to claim that you havent indicated a belief in any sense of how many points would be enough ? Pray tell, therefore, why you responded so forcefully to my assertion back then ? Simply to cause an argument ?

I'd rather crawl across broken glass with my flies open than support Norwich. Horrible club.

Leicester - owned by a bloke who seems to think hating us and getting one over us gives his life meaning, even though we made a great statue of him

Wolves - because we tapped up Dean Richards (RIP) apparently.

I see your maths isnt up to scratch again; its still conceivable that we need 89 points, and my prediction of 93 points is no further away from that than your prediction of 20 (which would mean 85 points). How about you grow up a bit ?

Yeah, right.

As did people like you who reckoned 20 was enough.

Well that's b*llocks for a start. We were happily thriving in the D1/PL long before the red-faced duck-f**ker from the Cotswolds turned up. And let's not forget he single-handedly caused our relegation to this division by being a smart-arse and replacing Pearson.

You'd be happy then. You still hanker for the days when the club was run by someone like that.

Wot ? No way.

There is a fault in your logic. Comparing Southampton Football Club with Newport County is f**king ridiculous. Its like comparing Manyoo with Eastleigh. Someone was always going to come in at the 11th hour when the asking price bottomed out. Yes, we have been lucky that someone as philanthropic as ML and as good a manager as NC came in, but I am 100% certain the club would have continued with a clean slate at least.

Surely they cannot change the time of the last match of the season ? They have to all run simultaneously.

I look back with quiet amusement at the level of abuse I and a couple of others got for advocating administration as the best thing that could have happened to the basket-case club we had become.

This is the last game I am worried about. But I am very worried about it. Brentford have been a thorn in our side before.

Mmm. Theoretically we could have Brighton, Bournemouth, Pompey and Reading in the same division as us next season. I would wait until May 2012 before bigging it up, tbh.

I took my middle son at the age of 5. He did fall asleep for 30mins of the first half, but he thoroughly enjoyed the game. He is quite sensitive to very loud noise, so we sat in the Chapel.

If we beat Brentford on Saturday and Huddersfield lose to Brighton, we are promoted, right ?

I love Fonte...

For who ?

We have to get a result today; I do NOT fancy the idea of having to get a result in Brentford.

Doesnt matter so long as we keep doing our own thing

Would like to see that too. Cheers for the goals, Baj
