    3 games to go

    I don't know if anyone else has made this point, but the rather strange situation we find ourselves in is that if we get 5 points from our last 3 games then we are assured of a play-off spot but if we get 6 then we aren't. 5 points means that we have at least drawn with Middlesbrough so the...

    5 in a Row

    We were last promoted to Division 1 in 1967 on the back of a 25 match unbeaten run (15 wins and 10 draws). Not as impressive as today's form but worth a mention.

    Time to believe

    Just numbers, but....... If we'd run at Lampard rate (1.8 points per game) from the start of the season we'd be on 58 points and in 5th place. If we continue this rate we'll end up on 69 points which is 4 points off what was needed for the play-offs last season. I reckon that 2 points per game...

    Dennis Law RIP

    But we scored first through Terry Bly in front of a 44,000 crowd. I remember the newspaper report that said 'when the cheering had died down to a crescendo'. Great times
