    Used to like doing this, back in the day. Usually completely wrong in most games. A bit like looking at your horoscope.

    I'm not sure fun is the word I would use!

    However, if you offered me the chance right now of us going to Elland Road just one point (or two) behind Leeds, then I would accept it. Because my expectation is that the gap will be bigger than that.

    I see Middlesbrough, our next opponents, have now won 3 on the trot for the first time since October. They are at home to Blackburn on Saturday with a good chance to make that 4 and have themselves back in the race for the playoffs having looked like prime candidates for mid table obscurity.

    It seems that quite a few teams, other than Sunderland, go on a run of form before we play them. Sod’s Law.

    Here’s one of the things that makes the Championship great …

    9 games to go and …

    4 teams battling for promotion
    7 for the playoffs and
    10 against relegation

    Arguably leaving only Sunderland, Bristol City & Watford uninvolved, and that could change with a prolonged good or bad run

    Get involved in fractious and largely pointless political debates then. Always fun!

    I've never met anyone from the Isle of Wight who did not sit on the right of the spectrum... and that side needs more hands! :emoticon-0130-devil

    Oh what fun we had. But I do agree with Fran, we go from the sublime to the ridiculous.

    Middlesbrough played their spare game last night. Why aren’t Saints playing PNE this week when there is already a space on Friday?

    Because they're at Plymouth this weekend and wanted to avoid two lots of huge travelling in quick succession.

    Which is fair enough really.

    So you actually think other teams matter! Selfish whatnames.
