    This year we have not beaten any team that is below us alphabetically. Also, all our remaining games are against teams below us alphabetically.

    Please explain what you mean by "below us alphabetically" only I think L as in Liverpool and C as in Chelsea are both below S in Southampton alphabetically and we all know what happened to them recently at St Mary's.

    Hope that doesn't mean we can't smash West Ham next week. Would really love it if e can thrash them!

    Hi, Norwich fan here. Might need you to beat Sunderland and Stoke, your last two games. Bizarrely, we're unbeaten against a team starting with an 'S' this season. Just got Stoke away. More bizarre, it's looking like a fight between City, Stoke and Sunderland to stay up. Well done on your run, by the way.

    Hope so! Kind of followed your results since watching my first FA Cup Final in 1976. Took more interest the year we both went down to League 1 and what was happening to your club. Got to credit Cortese, I had an inkling you'd get back-to-back promotions like us. Was surprised Adkins was sacked and thought you'd suffer though.

    Are you Chinese? I believe they like to write up/down the page.

    2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A in a pack of cards what is the highest card?

    abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. Which is the highest letter?

    I think after us alphabetically would have been a more appropriate way to put it.

    Seems quite obvious to me. At the start of every season the league is laid out in alphabetical order, with Arsenal, Aston Villa, etc.. at the top and whoever [West Brom, West Ham, Wigan] at the bottom. I believe our OP means this particular order.

    As a result of this stat I now believe we will now lose all our games and go down on goal difference by one goal. Gulys open goal miss yesterday was the deciding factor and he has to ship all the blame!

    Our away win yesterday was the turning point. Based on his previous matches, it had become obvious to fans ITK and the media that Mauricio was incapable of winning an away game ever until the end of time.

    A pack of cards is irrelevant to the post. It is as relevant as a dice has 6 numbers, which is the highest.

    Most normal people would associate the letter 'a' as the 1st number and 'z' as the 26th number. I would, therefore, say that I am justified to think that 't,u,v,w,x,y,z' comes after the letter 's'. I know you always try to make yourself out to be this highly intelligent grammar Nazi, but sometimes Godders you just post crap for the sake of it.

    to be fair, it confused me a bit! saying after is generally what you say about the alphabet! i.e Z is after Y, and not S is below R...
