    Should read Blackpool v West Ham. It's never possible to predict which is the best result for us by the end of the season, but we can't really lose in this one. A draw would be ideal, but a West Ham win means one of the pack is further back and a Blackpool win means that we have a better chance of first. As we still have a good chance of first, I will go for a draw as first choice and Blackpool win as second choice.

    I agree a draw would be great but I do think that Blackpool will win by the odd goal
    Shame cos I can't stand Holloway

    if it can't be a draw then west ham for me.

    second place is just as good as first and blackpool have a nice run in on paper.

    A draw would obviously be the best result, but if either side had to win it then I think I'll go with hoping it's Blackpool.

    No West Ham, actually.....No, no. Blackpool, Blackpool.....No, West Ham. Final answer.

    I'm hoping for a mass brawl resulting in abandoned match and points deduction for both sides :wink:

    A draw would be okay.

    2-2 draw with both teams losing a player through suspension after being dismissed will do for me.

    So all agreed a draw is best, but it's only in retrospect that we will discover what the best result is. I don't think Blackpool are good enough to threaten us in the games left (crossed fingers) so would like West Ham to lose.

    Typical Nigel and he did well to finish it. Basically you will be successful if you are consistent, but only if you are consistently good....but he loves his word plays.

    Praying for a draw! If not a West Ham win for me. We still have Blackpool to play at their place, and only drew with them at St. Marys. Despite our recent upturn in form which has included difficult games we still haven't been winning away games.

    Yes, I would want Saints to remain a few points ahead of Blackpool as a piority. But would also enjoy West Ham's gamble of getting back into prem going belly up. I can't but help think there some Pompey-esque financial mismanagement there. Anyway...as I say, priorities

    Draw has to be the best result I think. A couple of reds cards would put the icing on the cake.

    I bet the other Championship managers study every word Nigel says and don't understand any of them!
