The pundits always say that what’s needed to open up such a tight match is a touch of class. Well, there it was for all to see - Vik’s run, Sheaf’s pass and Gus’s finish. Pure class.

What a season it's been. A quick stock take before the excitement of the play-offs. We have 6 more points than last season (1 win and 3 draws), scored 2 less goals but importantly conceded 13 less. Interesting that those 6 extra points were earned in the last 4 games of the season (2 last...

Looking at the points total for the play-off contenders over the last 5 games, we're not the only ones struggling to pick up points Middlesbrough 7 Millwall 5 Blackburn 4 Norwich 5 Coventry 6 Sunderland 6 West Brom 6 Watford 5 Only Preston 12 and Luton 11 have bucked the trend All to play for!

Twists and turns? I should say so. 1 point from the first 5 games then 28 from 14 then, after the World Cup break, 6 points from 8 games and then 22 from 11. Which mode will we be in after the International break?

When the history of the beautiful game is written, its demise will be traced back to the introduction of VAR

It was rumoured, at that time, that Spurs were searching for a striker called 'Head' so that their forward line would read Onomah-Head-Son

Blimey. Don't tell me that there are 2 mathematicians who support the Sky Blues. The difference, as I'm sure you realise, relates to continuity. I think we'd better stop this now.

Geometric actually - 2, 4, 8, 16 and so on. And let's be clear; a double-barrelled name used to mean 'posh' but it now means 'child of unmarried parents' (nothing to do with 'splitting up'). End of Fact Check.

No, we are a team of superduperstars

14 points worse off

'I love what Robins has done with that Cov team. No superstars, no egos - and they play good football to boot.' 'give Coventry a lot of credit. Best I have seen from a side against us at this level for a long time' 'supremely coached, well-drilled teams like Cov.'

and that's how it was reported on Sky

Maybe this has been covered on some other thread but, in the context of next season, I'm surprised that someone hasn't mentioned the dramatic decline in our home form. Simply put, we gained more points from our opening 6 home games than we have from the subsequent 17. Whatever the cause, this...

du-du-dudda-dudda-du-dadu, please don't tell, no no no, don't say that I told you so, I just heard a rumour from a friend. He's the one, I've been told, 'cause he likely to score some goals, Pepelu is perfect to partner Gyko du-du-dudda-dudda-du-dadu

I'm 83% certain that I wish I hadn't started this thread

.....who's a Fulham fan, points out to me that 20% of the goals that Fulham have conceded this season have been against us. Nice one.

I was there in 1956 to see Steve 'Kalamazoo' Mokone make his debut. My Uncle Doug, famed for his insights, said that 'he looked as though he could do with a bloody good hot meal'.

The one with the Wegerle tale......

Only 7 teams in the league have scored more goals than us. But only 7 teams have conceded more goals than us. And yet, I have this perception of us as a team who struggle to score but are pretty tight at the back. Is it only me?
