    This much talked about rearranged match is gonna happen...of course subject to weather! Another must win game, but a draw seems likely...if a draw is the result....two points ahead of Fulham with two to play, hmmmm! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Fulham should win their last two games the way they're going and that could spell trouble given their GD advantage. A point at Derby might not be enough - then we couldn't afford a to draw either of our last two.

    All out for the 3 points tomorrow - we can't afford to hope Fulham will slip up against Sunderland next Friday to stop them getting their noses back in front.

    If it's that tight going down to the last game, we'll do it on the final day against Reading - I'll take a wager that Fulham wont take all the points at Brum. <ok>

    Not getting a point against wolves nor villa might be what bites us on the bum.
    Saying that, Colin keeps pulling rabbits out of hats.

    Three more hats. Can he find two more rabbits?

    You know, people say luck evens up throughout a season.

    City had none at Villa. NML’s shot hit post and rolled away. Grealish’s did the opposite.

    City had none at Millwall. We all know about that one. Fulham had it in spades at 0-0.

    City had penalty turned down at Fulham in last minutes. Fulham stole 2 points when diving for a last minute penalty at Boro.

    City had a golden opportunity to improve a long winning run v a depleted Derby but the game was postponed in highly suspicious circumstances. Now they have to play their full strength team.

    Brentford had a stonewall penalty turned down v Fulham.

    I am sure there are more similar instances. So it’s not just the dropped points v Wolves and Villa but numerous instances during the season.

    City are so overdue some fortune not only in their games but in Fulham’s.

    (Incidentally missing 2 stoppage time penalties isn’t bad luck just carelessness.)

    Now look lads - been doing some maths on this goal difference business if we finish level on points - here's the possibilities I've figured.

    We lose all 3 - Fulham draw one and lose the other.........................................86 points
    We draw one and lose the other 2 - Fulham draw both.....................................87 points
    We draw two and lose one - Fulham win one and lose one...............................88 points
    We draw all three (or win one and lose 2) - Fulham win one and draw one.....89 points
    We win 1 and draw 2 - Fulham win both..............................................................91 points

    On the other hand we could just win two to give us 92 points and bollocks to what Fulham do........<laugh>

    Meatloaf sang that '2 out of 3 ain't bad.

    I think 2 out of 3 would be bloody marvellous!! :1980_boogie_down:

    After snowgate we will be up for it, Warnock will let loose the snarling dogs.

    I keep doing a championship predictor and seeing all the different ways this could go down. I need to take something to calm these nerves. I feel sick! <laugh>

    My nerves are shot , I'm doing something and then I start thinking about the game tomorrow .
    I've a load of things going on , but all I can think about is bloody Cardiff City .
    But lose win or draw , we still have another two games to go . Then the nerves will start on Friday again , wishing for a Sunderland win or draw. Then onto Hull , this is no good for me .
    One funny thing I thought of , is our fate is not only in our hands , but also in the hands of three jacks . One ex Jack player Chris Coleman and two ex Jack managers , Monk and Clement .
    I'm hoping Monk and Coleman pull out all the stops to win and Clement doesn't.
    All I know is , if we fall short it won't be for the lack of trying.

    Three cup finals left .

    Well, taking Remote's comments about rabbits, and Rhondda's comments about Jacks...

    Does that mean we're hoping for a pair of Jack Rabbits?

    <sorry>

    With all centre mids fit and firing, does grujic get any more game time?
    I think Colin said to avoid any financial recompense he had to play 14 games. Or was that to be in 14 squads?
    He's played in 12 so far. Does Warnock play what he thinks is best equipped to win the game or save us some money?
    Looking at the robins board, their Liverpool loanee will cost them £300k without enough game time.
    Peanuts if we go up......
    Can't see past gunnar, ralls and Paterson for tomorrow.

    A lot of the players stored away and then loaned out to the likes of us are not up to the mark IMO. Drinkwater was one, Gruic doubtful, Chelsea have hundreds (gross exaggeration) of such bods. Sinclair was a classic example of a player rich but wasted. I was put up for transfer from Ninian Spurs, didn’t go for much. Someone said I was a waste! :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Apparently some of the City fans are taking bits of cut up paper to throw about as make pretend snow <laugh> Not sure how well that will work!

    On the match, have a bad feeling about going Hull needing a win <wah>
