    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...

    We're not looking to win either to stay top or to make a statement to other sides. We're looking to win to put as many points between us and third as possible. Which I imagine is actually your priority too.

    While we'll obviousky go for the win the same as yourselves, which is what we'd hope for, I'd be satisfied with a draw personally. You're at home, we have easier games coming up. Whilst it wouldn't keep the winning run going it would still be an unbeaten run maintained and it would signal the...

    It's how Oxford play against the top sides. With good reason too as the low blocking park the bus strategy tends to do fairly well for them when they know they can't go toe to toe as easily. Using their games against the top 5 as a guide, their record reads; P7 W1 D4 L2. Not bad for a side 2nd...

    Or it could be a mediocre week too. We draw both games say, so it's as you were before this weekend. Tbf tonight could go either way, we could triumph or get our arses handed to us on a plate. But the draw is what I would bet on if I was forced to give my honest prediction.

    It's not small talk, it's giving perspective on football matters, which is what this board is for. The only way I'll be bothered by Coventry's scores will be if you're in 3rd as that's the gap that matters. Screw the shiny pot.

    Three points I'd make though, firstly Ipswich will pretty soon have a bag full of games to play in a very short space of time if they keep going in the cup. And Hull are blowing hot and cold, they're were $hite to watch today (and the game before that) So either of them romping every game is...

    You do know this is impossible right? In fact even assuming everyone else in the top 5 wins every one of their games AND you lose against Boro AND the hopeless Baggies, even when the full time whistle blows on your game at the Hawthorns it's still mathematically impossible for you to be out of...
