Nine little fixtures We still have left to go, The first, Huddersfield away Will test us, as we know, They still need some results To help decide their fate, So let´s overcome this one And then there will be eight Eight little fixtures Twenty-four points in all, It´s unrealistic to expect No minor slip or fall, But Forest at home With luck, match made in heaven, A win here would set us up Nicely for the next seven Seven little fixtures Once that damn break is gone, The next down on the South coast With our old boy, Hughton, He had many problems Here, which he couldn´t fix, I´m sure he´ll want to prove a point And then there will be six Six little fixtures The next quite closely packed, Will stretch the squad strength of some But that we´ve never lacked, The Owls are our guests When that time should arrive, Safe in mid-table, I´d say So quickly on to five Five little fixtures, The next two both away, They could play quite a large part In us having a say, Neil Lennon´s Bolton He picked them off the floor, And was for some a target here After this, only four Four little fixtures Where nerves may well set in, But no place for that if we Are still hoping to win, Leeds once great and awesome Are no longer mighty, But on their patch, still a threat And then there will be three Three little fixtures And now the heat is on, Any slip now could just mean That a good chance is gone, And to just remind us That there´s still work to do, `Boro from the north are here Before we´re left with two Two little fixtures Between us and glory, Time for all hands on the deck To pull unitedly, Rotherham away it is Just longing for the sun, If they´re safe for one more year And then it´s down to one One little fixture But what a one at that, Especially if we have to win Who popped out of the hat, Fulham, and how sweet ´twould be If just for once this year, A meeting with them could bring Us the ultimate cheer .

Wonderful and cleverly inventive, you really should earn money from your talent, I have seen and read professional poets that are nowhere near as entertaining as you are!
You´re very kind Dave, but I´ve never been in it for the money as you know, fortunately I´ve never needed to be, but of course if someone was prepared to pay me for my work, then naturally I would gladly accept, although having to make a living from it would make it tougher, I´m sure, and almost certainly less enjoyable for me. Thank you Thai
Brilliant as always RBF and some awkward ties to be negotiated and being greedy, I'd like to see us amass around 20 points from that lot and see how close that takes us to the autos. If we can maintain the form we've had since AN arrived, it's possible, but it will be tough. Some exciting fixtures for all the teams in the top 6.

JR - looking at that lot, and with so few points between us, it´s impossible to call, absolutely impossible !
I agree and I'll be surprised if either of the top two positions are decided by 2nd May, though I don't really see the top 6 changing much!!! Luckily for Brentford, they're GD is about the same as 1P5wich's and they have an easier run in - I wonder if Wolves might replace them though.
Very much so Fleet. To misquote David Brent though, Agatha Christie's was written before racism was bad - they don't write 'em like that anymore, classic!
Excellent work as usual, RBF. Let's just hope we're sitting pretty in the top 2 at the line 'and then there were none'.
