    Hope so, but hope even more so, having a strong objection to the place , is that we could get to the championship without having to go there, slim as that chance may be I haven't given up yet. <ok>

    There's always a chance until the door is firmly shut. We keep going until the end of the season and see where it takes us

    The league table with points and games played seems against us but............

    We beat Leeds in 1973
    We smashed Chelskis team of world cup stars in the late nineties 4-0 by half time (if anyone can name the midfield for us that day without googling it I'll buy them a pint):
    We got the record points for promotion the year before.
    Roy K took us from bottom of Championship to promoted.
    We (human race) put a man on the moon.
    Someone managed to fit 27 people in a mini.
    Every week (almost) someone wins the lottery out of 13,983,816 possible combinations.
    Every week the Mags embarrass themselves.
    We get 30,000 + crowds every week in League *********g one.
    Leicester were given astronomical odds of 5000-1 to win the Premier League, having just about survived relegation the previous year. And won the title.
    Rooney keeping Derby up may just happen.

    Why can't we get automatics? Damn it I say. Damn it!

    Until we can't...we can!

    And that's me being a realist.

    So farewell you pessimists, and as always;

    FTM

    Against a midfield that contained Jody Morris, Dennis Wise and a certain Gus Poyet, internationals littered throughout the side and we didn't just beat them - we absolutely stuffed them! It was Thirwell's first game in the Premier League and probably my favourite game at the SOL

    LOL - I was at a dinner with Peter Reid a few years back and he asked me to name the midfield. I crashed and burned ;)

    Wigan seem to have a few problems building up, even if we don't catch them it'd be funny if they miss out and we get them in the play-offs, final would be good as we'd have twice the support.

    "McClean isn't the only suspension blow for Leam Richardson at a crucial time. Tendayi Darikwa's booking was his 10th of the campaign, and Richardson revealed after the game Graeme Shinnie has now hit double figures - including six at Derby. Both now face a two-game ban. In addition, Max Power's yellow card took him to nine, joining Callum Lang on that mark. Both Darikwa and Shinnie - along with McClean - will miss the upcoming games against Wimbledon and MK Dons. Power and Lang must watch their step on Saturday to ensure they are on the field for the crucial trip to the roundabout capital of the world."
