That we be best prepared for the Premier. I don't think we are this season. Flying in the top 2 and I would be a lot more confident.

Luton are making a fist of it, but I do feel they are still extremely likely to come down again. Do you think Sheff Utd are enjoying it? Southampton the year before and Norwich the year before that. Huddersfield? Derby? And as I have alluded to, Robins still gets lots of stick now and that's...

Gone for a Burton? 😱

Yup. Look at Sheff Utd. Do we really want a goal difference of -43? That's what it is at the moment and is much likely to get much worse. Then you have to look at the success rate for teams promoted to the Premier via the playoffs. I believe it's only 28% of clubs that survive the promotion...

Well you can shut yours for starters.

I'm going in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it.

Just means the other half are the sensible half.

Seems to me that Putin has played this all very cleverly. He has just kept throwing bodies at it, knowing that one day the financial aid to Ukraine will curtail. Absolutely awful and cynical of course, as he puts zero value on Russian lives, but I think he knew support for Ukraine would wane as...

World history is absolutely littered with hypocrisy

I don't think it will be. I reckon if we go say 2 nil up, we will take our foot off the gas and just try and kill the game off. We are also trying to save players too who are tired and exhausted, so we may well field one or two who are not quite first team regulars

Yup. They had to buy 22 players or something didn't they. Nearly didn't work either though. I think that's an anomaly though. So many who go up come straight back down again and other sides look much better equipped to be able to survive than us

What sort of chance do you realistically think you have got? I know people here are talking of 4, 5 nil wins plus for us but I think that's a bit disrespectful. I would be happy with a 2-0. I'm sure you will fight tooth and nail and throw everything into chasing and harrying and closing down...

No, I don't think so. Not yet. We are just hanging on to 6th place aren't we. When you look at the table, Leeds and Leicester are 18 points and 27 points ahead of us, respectively. If we were flying at the top of the league, it would be different, but we're not. Not sure many of this squad...

Yeah, but the question wasn't which is the most achievable. I know this is all lighthearted etc, but for this who have said "promotion," I do think that would pretty much be the end of Robins here with us next year. Pretty much undoubtedly he would be sacked. Careful for what you wish for. 🤪

Handmaid's Tale. Which is even more genius, because it's all based on Trump coming to power even though it was written in 1985 and set in the future. Remember Offred. Well, this is Offthecharts

England promoted in the Nations League over the City getting promotion AND winning the FA Cup without any shadow of a doubt.

Oh and what nails if for me I think is... Win the FA Cup and it would cement Robins as a true legend. Hero forever. We get promoted and get pummelled every week and there is not a zero shred of doubt in my mind that there would be a huge swathe of fans calling for MR to be sacked. It would...

That is true, but if a Championship team were suddenly to win it, I think it would get people believing in the magic of the cup again. Imagine that instead of the usual, Chelsea, Man City, Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, repeat, rinse and repeat stuff. It would change everyone's perception I think

There are indeed. Absolutely nuts that people would say promotion ahead of cup win isn't it.

Yeah, fair comment. Would go down the annuls of history and be talked about endlessly for decades, if a Championship team won the FA Cup.
