    Same to you - although you are more likely to need it than us given your tougher run-in. I expect that you are all rather nervously glancing over your shoulders right now. ;)

    Here's my perspective:
    1. As has been mentioned, we're lucky the Pozzos took over so we avoided the possibility of administration/liquidation
    2. A lot of the players are only just finding out the demanding nature of the English football season. Unfortunately, some of them seem to be running on empty at the wrong time of the season.
    3. All the external focus is on how we've used the rules to bring players in, but where would we be if Deeney had served his full term? Look at how we did at the start of the season when GZ tried to use Iwelumo as the striker to hold the ball up to bring the players with the extra quality into the game.
    4. If I remember correctly, the main aims at the start of the season were to steady the ship off the field as a platform for future growth, and to improve on where we finished last season on the field. The initial signs are good for the first, and I think that if we do go up, we'll follow the West Brom model where keeping the club financially stable is the prime aim, even if we are initially a yo-yo club and then after a few years beome an established PL club. We've achieved the second by some margin, so does that mean we've over-achieved?

    Same to you. If you look at the fixtures we are likely to do roughly equally over the next four games - all are winnable for both clubs but we all know points will be dropped. If we go into the final day we are at home to a Leeds side that we beat 6-1 and who have lost their manager. You would have to avoid a home defeat by a very competent Cardiff side who will have no pressure. Your home record is not impregnable. Are- are you really as confident as you post or are you just trying to keep your spirits up?

    Haha, the thing about cocky messages like this is that normally they come back to bite you on the arse.

    It could be all change come 5pm Saturday, a win for us (not unlikely for the best away team in the division) and a loss for you and we will be back in the autos. Remember that we have the extra point over you called goal difference. That could be what seperates us come the end of the season...

    ...and then we will pop over to your boards to be wishing you good luck in the play offs.
