    On the balance of that fixture list and Crystal Palace in hand, I’d say we get 4 more points this season and finish on 40 in 16th or 17th position.

    Pretty astounding when we looked well on our way to 60+ half way through the season.

    Yes, but we were never going to maintain that form were we.

    What odds do you want on us going down, to place a bet?

    Play the season out from here on 10 separate occasions, and in seven of them we'll stay up with our current 36 points.

    On the other three occasions, we'll still need a further one to three points. With seven games to get them from.

    He seems really confident this time, though!

    Maybe if Lincoln does not want to do a financial bet, we set it as a forum bet. Lincoln, tell me what odds you think are fair, and we'll work out a name change bet, with the duration reflecting those odds. Ie., if you think the odds of us going down are 5-1, I'll bet three months of your name against fifteen of mine. Heck, make it 15-1 and I'm in. 25-1 good value for you?

    60 points was if we had a regular drop in form <laugh>.

    But we just had to go and have our worst run of form in PL history didn’t we?

    B Team - Kayne Ramsay picked up a red card at Chelsea tonight I guess that scuppers his chance of a seat on the bench at Wembley?

    One month to a year seems good value in context of the forum.

    I think that we have run out of steam and the pressing high tempo game of the first half of the season is no longer much in evidence. That might be down to not having a decent depth of squad and the lack of a pre-season plus the unusually crowded fixture schedule.
    I hopeful that with a few additions and a normal pre-season and fixture list we will return to the form prior to the new year, next season.

    I certainly hope that there is enough in the tank to really go for it on Sunday (pressing high tempo game) as it is a one off match with everything to gain

    I'm feeling spicy: one month to two years, minimum two-month bet. You lose, you merely have to have the name through the offseason. I lose, I have to have the name until 2025. That's excellent value!

    Have you noticed that all 4 semi finalists have lost their last game.

    I think 15-1 is fair

    Thankfully I had a Microsoft Teams meeting so I was spared most of the second half. What I saw was as ****e as the first half, apart from a couple of chances.

    I can’t see Ralph making many changes for Sunday, but I expect those players who didn’t bother tonight to give 100%. Nothing else will do.

    I'd really like Che in for Theo, but it should be the same team roughly.

    Chilco, in view of this bet will I be able to change back?(in the slim chance I'm wrong :emoticon-0105-wink:)

    I'd just hate for someone to snaffle my moniker, it'd be just my luck for it to be a really positive poster, undoing my decade of hard work of being the most miserable poster on here <doh>

    At the moment I believe you have to get a supermod to change your name, and I’m sure we can persuade brb to keep anyone else from stealing it. Why anyone would want to is a bit of a mystery I must admit! (No offence meant btw).

    Sounds good to me. So two months for you if I win, thirty months for me if you win.
