Saint_clark Posted 25 October, 2009 Share Posted 25 October, 2009 Not fussed about the FA cup, we don't really need the money (and probably thrashing) that a big team would provide and we ain't gonna get to the later stages. Only thing that it can provide is a tie against Pompey or Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he's been saying all season that this is where we should be aiming. Not sure if I agree that we're the best in the League; Leeds and Norwich seem pretty tasty.

Legod Third Coming Posted 25 October, 2009 Share Posted 25 October, 2009 I will be very disappointed if we make the play offs. I have backed us to be Champions, the Chief Exec has targeted winning the league and I expect the team to win every game between now and the end of the season. I assume that winning every game between now and the end of the season would see us Champions? Can anyone clarify this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 25 October, 2009 Share Posted 25 October, 2009 Two trips to Wembley, a Paint Trophy, promotion and the Skates relegation - that's the dream. All very achievable, we have some serious momentum at the moment, the one good thing about the -10 is that there is no weight of expectation, anything they achieve is a bonus. At the moment they look bulletproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that. Be careful if you do. Bookies will not always lay football trebles based around the same team. For example, Chelsea's odds to win the league, cup and Champs League are not the same as if you wanted to back them for the treble. Personally, I thnk it's a disgrace. They are three separate events and should be considered as such, but you'll probbaly find they are something like 20/1 for a bet that should be 150/1 or more! Personally, I think the Champions title is at the achievable but fecking hard end of the scale. The JPT we could win. The FA Cup we need the gods to be very kind to us with the draw.... (My own money is down at 18/1 promotion and 150/1 Champions - these bets went on after the Charlton game when I could see the writing on the wall). And I make it: 300 x 10 = 3000 3010 x 7.5 = 22,575 22,575 +10 x 50 = 1,129,250 so you might have to forego the Honda... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 26 October, 2009 Share Posted 26 October, 2009 It's great to know that less than a month after the "pardew out - but when?" thread, we're talking about 3 trips to Wembley. Can't you all just find one set of medication and stick with it? The Charlton game will tell us a lot about how we measure up against those currently chasing automatic promotion. They seem to be dropping points which would suggest a rough patch which they will hopefully still be going through when they play us. What a great psychological boost it would be to give them an absolute tonking! One good side of the 10 point penalty (if there is one) is that a side winning games like we are will be reeling in the teams above us. Sometimes it's not that comfortable to be up front needing to keep ahead when you know you are being chased down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 26 October, 2009 Share Posted 26 October, 2009 Talk of being in the play-offs and Wembley is crap! Anyway who wants to shell out extra dosh on a day out queuing on the North Circular and waste team effort on an insignificant pewter pot. Relax! Saints will get automatic promotion thus making it cheaper and easier for all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disintegration87 Posted 26 October, 2009 Share Posted 26 October, 2009 Actually it could be 4 trips to wembley, 1 for the jpt, 1 for the playoffs, 1 for the FA cup semis and another for the final! Just the playoffs would be fine tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible in this game LTC, I always believe that we can and will win every game 4-1. Re the FA Cup, the gods have looked quite favourably on the smaller clubs in recent yeras too. Pompey, Millwall, Cardiff, and others have gone really close too. By the way, my maths ain't brilliant, but i'm pleased to say that it is not as bad as yours: http://www.betcalc.com/accacalc.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
