    It was my suspicion of what would happen this season. The top 3 sides all cancel each other out. The championship has a funny way of doing that. Anyway, I'm off to Fmttm to cheer a few of the more short-sighted knee-jerkers of our lot up who can't see the bigger picture. Enjoy tonight

    My eyes are dry mate. Feel like I've been through the mill, but self-preservation and all that. An emotional night for sure, but like I say we write off results against you to lessen the impact which helps. That's why a Hoodoo is to be respected, it would kill you otherwise🤪 Besides we're...

    Congratulations Cov. You figured out a way to overcome us; long accurate balls take the midfield out of the equation and we're a little short of big lads, so you used physicality well. Throw in the Hoodoo magic as well and I'm not overly surprised. My both teams to score prediction was right...

    Right, I'm naturally on Fmttm while enjoying the match. Good luck after today at least, if we win I'll probably stay off here for a few days (there's an unexpected bonus for you at least!) if you win then I'll pop on no doubt to reaffirm the Hoodoo that was overlooked by many, if it's a draw...

    Logically it was for you. It was part of a 3 game mini-season where you had to triumph in at least 2 games to get direct promotion. With this game, you get 14 games after it, all of which may well play a part.

    Yes, that Carrick. Possibly he's learned from his mistakes, but when at Boro he had in the main ONE style that he didn't deviate from. Until someone came up with a way to combat that style (and to be fair to Carrick when the injury list got ridiculous and stayed ridiculous for the majority of...

    Preston I'll give you, that's pure sorcery right there. Stone cold Hoodoo.😬 With Norwich, you'd have to look at how many times you faced them and also how many games were draws and how many losses. It could well qualify as a bonefide Hoodoo mind. With you being ours, it may only go back 6...

    However good we play tonight we're hardly going to be prime Barca🤣 There's a mixed feeling amongst us tbh. We're generally confident in our squad's abilities and the methods of Hellball, but we can't predict A) What version of yourselves will turn up and B) What the Hoodoo has in store? As...

    Neither team will go for that, though it wouldn't be that bad an outcome at all in the grand scheme of things.

    I think as far as how we set up, the Hellball style of "Controlled Chaos" will be the obvious system as such, though system is the wrong way to describe it as it does have more variables to it, especially as hardly any player has an actual position to play in for the duration of the game. As...

    Tbf anyone viewing this forum would probably come to the conclusion that Onyeka was the one to watch for. As for spying missions, I imagine they're downgraded when anyone can view posts on here incognito, without actually posting at all. Kind of means that the role of "spy" is downgraded to...

    Those that booked after the Oxford game

    Tbf even if you booked it now without cancellation, you could still make a profit going up through the autos, provided you flogged it to a supporter of a team that makes the playoff final as soon as they do. As that's when it goes booking crazy and prices become silly, so you could sell it on...

    Nah, my username on Fmttm is similar to on here. Obviously without the Boro bit as 99% of users support Boro🤣 Tbf quite a few on our forum have viewed this forum of yours out of interest, though there's only myself and Kris that I've seen posting on here. I can only speak for Fmttm mind as I'm...

    No, we won't. Hellberg doesn't know how to for one and we've only drawn one of his games so far. We'll go for rapid movement and attack, it's his way. That doesn't mean it won't end up a draw of course, which I'd be satisfied with, with easier games coming up. It could go any way.

    6 wins on the bounce for you in our head to heads wouldn't be surprising IF you were Man City and we were Hartlepool United, but it is given that we've had strength not that dissimilar to each other over the past 3 years. Now such a Hoodoo can work it's way out due to various reasons. A side...

    None taken, it's in your benefit to do so. On paper it should be a great match at least. Either we turn up and Hellball the thing like against the Blades or, aided and abetted by the power of Hoodoo, the Cov from October suddenly rocks up instead and performs out of their boots, earning a win...

    Anyone with half a brain would prefer that, as unlikely as the table is to work out like that, a question with that as a possible option to the other two would be an infant school level challenge to solve. Promotion would be in the bag and the title assured with 3 games to spare and a chance to...

    Whereas we tend to be the other way round, we're sure a shiny pot would be nice, but it pales into insignificance next to promotion. If I had to afford relevance to each it would be 95% promotion and 5% title. Which is why the gap to 3rd is hugely more important to us. It's a question of how...
