The Fish

Have to say, I have literally no interest in spending actual money on a shitty plane to drag a shitty phrase printed on a shitty banner across the shitty sky. No problem with some gloating and if there was something original and witty I'd be behind it. As it stands the only thing I've seen is a suspect bloke on facebook asking people to transfer him some money. Best thing we could do is collect a shit load of money for the foodbanks, for Bradley and the like. Do it as a celebration of our promotion and make sure it's got fuck all to do with their relegation.

They're not much fun at the minute. Combination of "woe is me" and "Looking forward to the Championship, me".

Can't help it, I'm quite the sesquipedalian.

I meant 5 games minimum if they win all their remaining games.

Shut up Doctor Dullsville.

I must have got the same answers as you're's

Highest points tally Huddersfield can possibly get is 95, so as it stands we'd need another 14pts to guarantee 2nd, so 5 games minimum. However, at the current PpG rate Huddersfield are on course for 86pts, meaning we only need another 5pts, which at our current PpG would take us 3 games. Draw tonight and we are guaranteed a Play Off spot, by the way.

Last player that really got me out of my seat.

I'm just coming from the position where they're more likely to miss out than get promotion and they won't really care who goes up in their place, surely? Also, the odds of them winning the play offs should be shorter than it is, though, right?

Poorly worded, but I just meant that of the teams promoted from the play offs, 3rd placed teams go up more than any other, however, what happens more often is that one of the teams placed 4-6 goes up. That's a good point actually and one I'm totally going to appropriate as my own on the podcast later

Here, fuck off, stress has made the weight just drop off. Basically look like a bald Olympic diver.

Own it.Earn it.

Huddersfield 5/2 Leeds 10/3 Fulham 4/1 Reading 5/1 Shef Wed 6/1 Brighton 40/1 Derby 100/1

To be honest, I probably did say that Newcastle were 100% going up automatically, I just can't remember/find it.

That's because you're a terrible shit.

Think it was just Moussa.

Aye, that Sky Sports page made it out like 3rd place isn't a curse because they're the most likely side to go up. But the question should really have been answered "Yes it's a curse because more often than not a different side wins the Play Offs." Huddersfield fans won't give a shit which other team goes up in their place, the issue is that they missed out.

Wasn't that about Sissoko never playing another game for us? I can't remember, most of the time on there I'm just saying shit that pops into my head

3rd placed team has failed to go up 3 out of the last 5 seasons, (5 out of the last 10, 8 of the last 20).

I do not remember.

Are you me or am I you?

Just realised I didn't give the options of ourselves and Brighton in the Play Offs...because I'm a deluded Geordie

Looking at the run ins, I think Brighton have the easiest; they're either facing teams who've nowt to play for (Norwich, QPR, Villa) or teams facing the drop (Birmingham, Bristol, Wigan, and Wolves). That said, they're facing Villa and Norwich who've been under performing and are better than their league positions and Brighton will also be facing teams fighting for their lives... We're next with 1 relegation candidate (Burton), 2 Promotion candidates (Leeds, Shef Wed) and then finally play 4 teams who will likely be on the beach (Barnsley, Cardiff, Ipswich and Preston). Come through the next 3 games with 6+pts and I'd fancy us to win the final 4 games against the teams on their holidays. Huddersfield have the toughest run in, I reckon. 3 sides who could well still be in the hunt for a promotion (Norwich*, Preston and Fulham) and 3 sides fighting against relegation (Forest, Wolves, Birmingham) only 2 holiday sides (Derby, Cardiff). 10 game form has us all on 1.9PpG, 6 game has us first (1.83PpG), Brighton second (1.5) and Huddersfield way back on (1.17) which is the same as Blackburn. If we revert to our Season's PpG for the final 7 we'll end on 95.68. Leeds and Fulham are the form teams around the Play Off spots going into the final 7 games. *Norwich are both a promotion battler and a holiday side because while they're still in the scrap now, by the time Brighton face them they won't be.
