Given West Ham and Reading still have to play each other, I think it might be less. If West Ham win their game in hand, we're 5 poinst clear of 3rd. If we lost to Reading and Wham won their fixture, we're still 2 points clear of 3rd. If we lose the fixture when Wham and Reading play each other, we're STILL in the top 2 whatever happens. That's the worst case scenario, so if we were to win the other 6 fixtures and lose those 2, we're still guaranteed promotion. If we beat Reading... If Wham won their game in hand - 8 points above 3rd Reading beat Wham (worst case scenario if we beat Royals) and we lose same weekend - 7 points clear of 3rd, equal games played. So 5 wins (including the one against Reading) would see us up. This assumes Reading and West Ham both win ALL the other games, as well as the above mentioned worst case scenarios.

Voted Jos, but wasn't there. Only about 300 people were, of which about 10 probably post on this site so this poll is a complete none-event really. Still fun though.

Do you guys remember when the 'Saints will finish 17th' thing was actually funny? No, me neither. For me it's always been a very tedious wind up by one incredibly sad mong of a poster which everyone seems to delight in talking about. It's almost as funny as Skacel signing, ho ho ho.

Lee has been very good since he came in, perhaps better than expected. For whatever reason Adkins prefers Lambert and Guly, probably because Guly offers more movement.

I had us as Champions on 88, with the others on 86 and Reading ahead by 1 goal. I was pretty stingy though, didn't have us winning any away games and only drawing with Reading.

Just seen the goals on SSN. Fonte crossing for Hooiveld I think Jos might be my man crush.

And their remaining home games are Brighton, Brum, Hull and Reading. Not easy by a long way and Bristol is their only easy away game.

Going through all the scenarios in my mind, this one has me pretty excited... Reading only have 2 easy home games left, Palace and Forest. Now assuming they were to win them both, we would just need 1 more point in our remaining fixtures than they get in games against Blackpool, Leeds, Saints, Wham, Brighton and Brum (4 of those are away). We're soooo close.

Brighton 14 points behind now, with just 8 games left. They would have to win 5 of those games JUST to get to where we are now. I think we can safely rule out a late charge by Seaguls, Boro, Brum or otherwise, even if it was pretty unlikely before.

That was an absolute Carlsberg of an evening Get the f**k in!!

Reading have lost. FT at Hull What a night!!!!

How sh*te is Boro's defence. F**k knows how they got a point. The boos ring out at UP.

3-7 Hahahha

Posh 3-1 Get in!!!!!!

Skates 3-1

Haha 6-3

Ah bugger.

Skates winning against 10 man Brum. Tonight just gets weirder.

3-5 at Leeds. WTF!!!?

Yes!!!

That's one way of nicking grapefruit from Tesco.

It doesn't matter how likely it is, it's the fact that they have a chance and will keep trying. If Leeds go an a great run of form and stuff Reading, but still miss out on the playoffs by 5 points, that's fine by me.

6 points adrift at the moment I think, with 8 games left. They certainly wont be giving up and hopefully going all out to win their remaining games.

Well, we're all going to Hell now. Thanks Chez.

Forest winning at Leeds. A Bristol win would be good too, leave the Skates well and truly adrift. Probably loan out a few more players.
