Coz we won't get 4th spot and in the last 9 years the team that finished 4th has never been promoted ,stats are

3rd 3 times
4th 0 times
5th 3 times
6th 3 times.

So thats the fisrt leg outta the way, don't forget we are all that stands between the sheepshaggers getting in the Premier League
assuming Cardiff beat Forest.

The whole of England is behind us

Head to head table of the likely playoff contenders this season:

1. Swansea 4 0 2 7 6 +1 12
2. Forest 3 1 2 13 10 +3 10
3. Reading 1 3 2 8 9 -1 6
4. Cardiff 1 2 3 5 8 -3 5

One way of looking at it, WR, but our two defeats were 1-0 v Swansea.

v Cardiff we are DD 3-3 and really should/could have won both (one without Elwood)

V Forest we are DW 5-4 (one without Elwood)

If we are at or very near our best we can beat any of these.


Note the GDs.

Points diffs seem large, but the GDs are very close

Only nominated? He hasn't won, and probably won't as April wasn't as good as the other months he got nominated for....

Because..............

we're playing Cardiff in the semis and they will be gutted that they lost today - plus they lost in the final last year and will be nervy - we're just grateful to be where we are and will play our game with much less pressure on us.

Because if we get to the final, we play Rodgers' team and it should be karma that his ego and big book of tactics take a massive dent when playing us.

Because the last (and only) time we got into the premiership, we lost our first game 2-1 - and we lost 2-1 to Scunthorpe first game this season!!!

SSSSHHHHHH. :roll:

They'll be gutted. Mark my words. The fact they couldn't get automatic promotion and they lost the play-off final and they dropped a place after today's results will all eat away at them. So they might as well have lost today, instead of the draw. :wink:

'Cos bruv put a bung on us to go up at the start of the season and more recently, after the Barnsley game, our QPR mate also put 50 spons on us going up through the play offs.

Good enough? I'd say so. Even if that's two reasons.

don't forget that Cardiff stole 4 points off us (2 in each game H and A)... A goal that wasn't and an equaliser after the team coach had left.

One reason why? Because someone has to win and it might as well be us. Plus we beat Pompey this year...
