    Turned off the filter and would you believe the three dot I quoted were the picture in the original post.

    <party> Twas an amazzing night, for once we tied the game up in the 1st half, the 2nd half was a nostalgic chorus with songs of players of old. Grand evening. <party>

    Impressive run of form no doubt.

    But keep in mind what happened last time when you all go so high off being top of the form table.

    We hit some bad form, tends to happen unless you're a champions league qualifying contenders, you should know that, Newcastle had an impresive run of form at some point and look what happened. <whistle>

    Don't think we need to worry about not turning up on Sunday now we're safe. I do want 12th spot though. :p

    Can't remember but don't really care - even if we lose on Sunday we've survived from an "impossible" situation. You lot relegated us, most on here had us relegated, the Hull board have a thread dedicated to it!

    And since Poyet took over we have gained 2 less points than the mags and have a -6 GD compared to your -12. We'd be playing this weekend to go above you

    Any idea of the money a stake, for each position you finish in?

    Taken from the Hull board, from a decent source which I can't remember so you'll have to trust me (checked the source about 4 months ago)

    You get one thing right, your username.
    If you want to get something else right, you could always change it to '****banteratNUFC'
    Now jog on, bell-end.

    Hadn`t realised the sums involved. So, in effect, by taking us from bottom to 12th, Gus would make the club £10m.

    Strewth!

    more than that really as he has guaranteed us 60+ million next season, instead of 20 million if we had went down. but yeah for this season only, £10 million.

    Luckily (I think) we have an owner who would look at this, even if we finish 12th, and think "phew, thank **** we got out of that. I wohn't let it get that close again" rather than one who says "We finished 12th. Just need 1 player and we may make top half"

    Good reading that table. Just shows you finish 12th and you are about 9 million better off than finishing bottom. That's massive even to a relatively large club like ours.

    If you use a quote you should really use the full quote, which for your information is; "Form is temporary, Class is permanent".

    Unfortunately for you, with your dip over the second half of the season, neither form nor class apply to your club or supporters.
