Can we not draw tonight and win at the weekend?

Only if Millwall fail to win on Friday (& boro result stays the same)

City just need to keep picking up points... it is now simply a matter of time. Tick tock tick tock.

 

[Captain Dart]

Drat Boro equalised.

 

[robbiethemole]

Boro playing well against Swansea. I'm a bit torn on them leading TBH, at one level I should be hoping they drop points, but I'd much prefer them to grab 2nd spot rather than Ipswich and realistically they need 3 points tonight to have a fair shot at that given they have to play each other still and games in hand.

Huh. I said this earlier and saddle called me stupid

Win on Saturday and it’s over

You'll get others arguing " not technically". Bizarre. Win Saturday we are up.

We already are.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

It was somewhat inevitable with our goal difference that we were going to end up being ‘promoted’ without it being mathematically confirmed.

We arent though

Will there be a P next to us on the table??

I get what you're saying but it now cannot be official until Blackburn. Im pissed off because I want a pitch invasion

 

[Dougin]

Win Saturday we’re up that’s it.

I knew someone would argue. You and I know, if we win Saturday, we are up.

We are up already

But there wont be any pitch invasions, no wild celebrations from the players, no P next to our name on the table, because mathematically it isnt done

Are going to have this argument all night?

I didn't argue , you did..Read it back.

"We aren't though". Saddle

You're just being difficult

 

[Nick]

You're just being difficult

Get yourself in the Coach and Horses if we win and enjoy yourself.

 

[Trueskyblue20]

I agree with Saddle. Gutting that we don’t get our pitch invasion and moment of euphoria - even worse we might get our ‘P’ if Boro fuck up against Pompey

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Worried that we fuck up these final games and Ipswich pip us for the title

 

[Nick]

Not that arsed about a pitch invasion.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Those 2 games against Norwich and Boro should sort that.

 

[Nick]

Those 2 games against Norwich and Boro should sort that.

And Southampton

 

[Sick Boy]

Boro

 

[Trueskyblue20]

I mean we are obviously promoted and have been for a while. It would just be nice to get that moment of confirmation and all to celebrate as a fan base

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

You're just being difficult

No mate, I am just replying by to what you actually posted.

 

[Martw]

Probably been posted. Ipswich have 5 away and 2 ar home, one of which is Boro.

We arent though

I just want to get up regardless of where it happens

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Win Saturday, we are up.

 

[quinn1971]

Win on Saturday and it’s over

This,that’s all that matters, then it’s just a case of winning the league and 3 more wins does it

 

[Dougin]

It looked like we played for the point tonight. Was the right thing to do

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

If Millwall don’t beat West Brom on Friday, and Ipswich don’t beat Norwich on Saturday…

And we beat Sheffield Wednesday…

 

[shmmeee]

If Millwall don’t beat West Brom on Friday, and Ipswich don’t beat Norwich on Saturday…

And we beat Sheffield Wednesday…

And Middlesbrough don’t beat Portsmouth

 

[Otis]

If Millwall don’t beat West Brom on Friday, and Ipswich don’t beat Norwich on Saturday…

And we beat Sheffield Wednesday…

It's not just that though is it?



So, if we win on Saturday and neither Millwall and Boro win, we are officially up

Lets say the Boro and Millwall games are both draws.

That would put them both on 73 points with 4 games to go.

We win against Sheff Wed and we will be on 87 points


Ths max tally that Boro and Millwall can get then under that scenario is 85 points. 4 wins - 12 points. 73 plus 12 is 85.

So it doesn't matter about Ipswich. We win and Millwall and Boro fail to and we are up.

That's correct isn't it?

No we’re not

we need Middlesbrough to drop points too.

 

[sc1940]

But even if Boro and Millwall win their next game, provided we beat Wednesday, our goal difference means Boro will have to turn around a goal difference of 21 in 4 games, or Millwall 33 in 4 games without considering any further change in GD in the next game.
So as an example that equates to us losing our last 4 games 3-0, 3-0, 3-0, 2-0, and Boro winning their 4 remaining games by the same sort of amount (including their game against Ipswich).

Yes. But from what I was talking about was in terms of being officially promoted, not that our GD is so great, it would take an absolute miracle for anyone to overtake us. That's obviously not official, though I do get your point

Boro and Millwall drop points and we win, then we are officially promoted and the only issue then to be sorted was whether or not Ipswich could pip us for first place
