Any common sense by Sky and they will schedule ours at 5:15 Saturday as it greatly enhances the likelihood of it being concluded with Matt Grimes lifting the trophy in front of a sea of sky blue. So obviously on that basis it will be 8pm Friday.

The Pompey ticket article says 7:45

That would be perfect

How are we going to beat ourselves?

Middlesbrough to turnaround an adverse 19 goal difference? Even Ipswich would have to go some to claw back the 13 they’d need. oh and Millwall’s is 32 worse than ours.

No different to Wednesday and Saturday and we do that loads.

Cracking thread this one, mate 😂

I’ve probably missed a thread where this has been discussed at length but big rumours on Twitter that Wrexham is being moved to Friday. ipswich would have 3 games left at that point I think meaning we’d have to be 10 clear to be crowned champions that night.

Who on earth has said that?! 🤣

All that plus the small matter of us winning three on the spin. Obviously it can happen (hopefully it does) but surely you can concede that statistically its more likely that it doesn't get secured at the Sheff W game?!

Agreed. This doesn't change the fact that us winning 3 on the spin plus other results going our way sufficiently to seal it v Sheff W is less likely than likely to happen.

I'm not sure what you're responding to. My position is that I think we'll win the league with 2 more wins and finish 2nd with just 1 more win. I also think its unlikely that it will be mathematically done by Sheff W.

I know the scenario that would need to unfold. But those things happening as you describe is much less likely than them not happening.

Yep, agreed about Blackburn. It'd be nice to secure it with our 10th win in 11 games for sure. The games in hand are more likely than not going to thwart it happening v Sheff W IMO though.

History suggests that we're more likely to go down than not but I'm quite content with that. It will have no bearing on how drunk I'm going to get celebrating the title this season when the moment comes. Hopefully we surprise a few and finish 17th next year but if not we should be well...

I meant Sheff W in response the Lamps post doh, have updated

Highly unlikely we get promoted v Sheff W and almost no chance of securing the title on that day. Ipswich will have 6 games left so we'd need to be 19 points clear of them plus either 16 points clear of Mboro (who'd have 5 left as playing at 3pm) or 13 points clear of Millwall (4 left).

3 wins and 2 draws mathematically seals it. But the chasing pack will drop points between now and then so it will be less.

I haven't watched a MoTD for 25 years, its going to be quite novel next season. Are Alan Hansen and Trevor Brooking still on it?
