10 points from 15 for City and it should be job done, or is it?

    Because in my experience you're not a total **** so I don't believe you're deliberately forcing your swears down the throats of people who choose not to see them.

    That's quite hypocritical, considering you believe your team will definitely get something from the game.

    I didn't even say that I automatically assume we'll win - just that I would expect our team, with the quality it has, to beat your side. It's simple football logic - we are 2nd, you are 14th.


    Anyway, we have won more games away from home than you have won AT home. That's a good enough reason for any fan to assume we'll win.

    If I were a Hull fan, I would want this done and dusted in the next four games.

    Anything can happen on the final day, and it usually does.

    I think it's away from home that this will be settled

    We've got Ipswich, Wolves and Barnsley.

    Watford have Posh, Millwall and Leicester.

    I think ours are easier than theirs, assuming Millwall make the effort after their semifinal defeat.

    I'd disagree with that.

    From the away matches, you've got two relegation battlers and a mid-table team. We've got one relegation battler, one mid-table team and an outfit that has only won one game since January. Pretty even in my opinion.

    It's at home that I fear things will be decided: we've got a team fighting for their Championship lives, and a set of players fighting for their contracts. You have two teams who might not have anything to play for by the time the matches come around.

    This.

    Although I would say yours is still slightly harder, as Leicester will likely still be fighting for a playoff spot.

    I don't like obeying daft rules. I teach my children the same thing and they have been brought up to question and challenge bad rules. I myself only swear when the situation warrants it, usually through emotion but occasionally through wit and hardly ever extreme . There is, in my view, nothing wrong with swearing in the right context and I don't like not being able to do it because of some "Nanny" ruling.
    Anyone who thinks the word Sh1tty is in anyway damaging to others needs to trundle of to a quiet room and have a little chat to themselves. Capisce?

    I think Watford have the easier run in, Blackburn (H) a team in free fall, Leeds (H) a team with nothing to play for and no manager, There away form is very good and suites there style but Peterborough, Leicester and Millwall are quite tricky, Regarding us i think Ipswich are on a very good run recently beating Leicester, Derby, Bolton and Leeds and drawing with Peterborough and Millwall and in that run they have only let 1 goal in, in 7 games so its a very tricky fixture. Wolves who have picked up lately is another difficult one. Its very hard to predict as everyone knows but hopefully we can get some points from these two leaving us with Bristol (h) who should be relegated, Away at Barnsley? and then finish with Cardiff (H). I know all the games are equally important but i really do think if we can get through the next two away games and still be in second then we would have a really great chance. I am a bit concerned us having to play on Saturday, then Tuesday and Friday (SKY TV) lets hope Hobbs comes back because its asking a lot on the defence

    It's also worth remembering you have only won one game in 5 and have failed to win in your last 3 home games.

    As I have said with the 3 points advantage, I think it is around 60/40 in our favour and I think the bookies odds would reflect that. However, as they say, in this league anything can happen.

    Leicester looked very good against BHA last night and still have a 50-50 chance of the playoffs - I think that will be your toughest game at theirs.

    It will be the same for Bristol our opponents.

    The championship has consistently been inconsistent this season with any team capable on its day of beating any other.

    I do think the advantage is back with you not based on the run in but purely because you have the extra 3 points in the bag.

    Wouldn't be surprised if you drop points at Ipswich though.....much improved under Mick Mcarthy and never an easy place to get a win

    When I was mod, you complained about stuff being unsuitable for kids, but now you decide that other people's kids should be forced to see swearing because you don't like accept nanny rulings?

    If you want to swear, then ****ing swear, you soppy ****, don't pretend swear.

    So in LambrettamanWorld pictures of women's genitalia fall into the same category as the word Sh1tty do they?

    Go have a word with yourself daft lad.

    You think people shouldn't post gash on here, others think swearing shouldn't be on here, who put you in charge? If you want to swear, then swear, don't circumvent the swear filter, it makes you look a twat.

    I'm convinced we'll beat cardiff or get a draw at least.

    I think we could have some luck with the fixtures..

    Bristol will be down by the time we play them (although that sometimes means they want to regain some pride)

    Barnsley will be up or down (i think up) by the time we play them.

    Cardiff will be champions by the time we play them


    Our toughest games are ipswich and wolves.

    If we can get 2/3 points from those games

    and I expect 6/7 points from the other 3 (barnsley,cardiff,bristol c)

    that's 8 to 10 points (82-84pts final finish) watford will need 3 wins and a draw at least.




    For watford, it'll be interesting also. They play well away.

    They play lester who will be in the hunt for playoff spot

    Millwall who aren't easy to beat at home.

    Peterborough who like to score (they've scored 2 more goals than us) and will be fighting for survival.

    Blackburn at home, looks like an easy win but they may be in survival mode.


    I think watford's easiest game is leeds on the last day.


    Watford's toughest games are their next 3. Which is a good thing because if they do struggle a little, we could have a bigger gap meaning it won't go right to the last game.
    If on the last day, watford need to win and need us to lose, I'll be happy.
