    I think the Blackburn performance has calmed a lot of us down. So even if you do win today we are all pretty confident that with 4 of our next 5 at home we should be able to get the points required.
    I think Hull should be very concerned if you win today. Beating both of us in 4 days would be a massive boast to your players and I could well see you winning 4 out of 5 remaining.

    If we play like we did on Monday you'll need your 'A game ' to be the winner btw.

    Hi Watford guys and gals - let's forget the maths for a minute. If we win tonight, we're up. A draw will make beating Barnsley on Tuesday enough.

    If we lose and you take all the points, we've got our next three games at home to sort it. We might have to wait until the third game against Charlton - Forest in between will be difficult and a point will do.

    85 points will be easily enough to go up for anyone, but the title may need another win from our last three games. Burnley or Bolton should be the target - needing it in our last game at Hull would be challenging to say the least.

    Not really - we managed it, and Hull do appear to have an aversion to top six clubs at home. They'd probably even lose to themselves. <laugh>

    Good luck - from tomorrow on!

    Those ARE the maths :)

    Unlike others though I agree you do not want to go to Hull on th elast day of the season needing points to go up - but I would bet my mortgage it will not come to that

    Not if you speak to Bodno - he'll get his slide rule out.............<laugh>

    In fact, my "maths" are based on real life, not calculus. Old Bodno will probably point out that after you beat us tonight, you could win the last 5 as well and end up on 88 points.

    That could be 10 points more than us because after you beat us, we could go on and lose our remaining 6 games.

    <yikes>..........he could be right!...................<laugh>

    Boddy is sunning himself in France and probably has enough vino not to care what the maths says :)

    I studied statistics at University and it was so useless I have never won the Lottery. Still reckon Cardiff are certain to be Champions by a wide margin and that Watford and Hull will be very close for 2nd and 3rd

    After Tuesday when everyone set off for Hull (seemed like everyone, anyway) and now today when a lot of you are getting ready to go, it's like watching the troops go off to the front. I feel like I ought to be knitting Spitfires from old saucepans or something...

    Amusing to see so many Cardiff supporters in town wearing the wrong colours. Anyone would think they play in blue. As for Hull. Based on us having to likely need to win most of our matches including today it may at least give Cardiff something to think about. Need 3 points today for that though.
