Except it turned out it wasn't La La Land at all.....Oscars mistake: Moonlight wins best picture after announcement mix-up - BBC NewsI remain confident we can do it.
If La La Land can win the best picture at the Oscars, then I see no reason why we can't pull off the great escape.

Or was that a joke that went over my head?
Yeah, been sure there was no escape for weeks now, if we lose against the teams around us there is no f***ing chance.we're down. end of discussion.
We may not have won many but we almost drew a lot, and we almost won a few.So I did a bit of analysis of this farcical season. So far we have P33 W5 D10 L 18 Pts 25. If this form is continued, we will end the season with a total of 35 points <snip>.
We may not have won many but we almost drew a lot, and we almost won a few.
If just a few of those 90+minute goals weren't scored, or a few of those shots that hit the post or bar had gone in, we could easily have had 8 more points.
We've thrown away a lot of points, we should have had.
Spot on.... would put us were bury sit currently.
Players don't lack the mentality to do it
thats no different to mowbray though. he drew 6 lost 4. alot of them could have been turned into draws and wins
lol the first 10 games showed you all that
but past 11 games just shows you slade unlucky and players fault
your not bias are you...no not at all.
I'm talking to you reasonably here based on what I've seen and circumstances at those times, calculating all the factors at the times of the games. It's not biased its reasoned. I still am just as unhappy at our situation.
You could have a host of chefs, but if you bake a cake with poor quality flour or shit eggs your cake don't rise and crumbles away..
I think you must be going to the wrong restaurants.and im saying get a chef that doesnt shit in the pan
Yeah, get that thinking. If we ARE going down anyway, it might be best to be put out of our misery sooner rather than later, rather than have the odd win here and there to give us the tiniest glimmer of hope.I just want us mathematically down to end my hope of staying up then disappointment every Saturday evening.
I have done an analysis on this twice, and come up with the same result both times separately - at the **average** rate both us and the team in 20th are collating points, we will be down with either 3 or 4 games to go.I just want us mathematically down to end my hope of staying up then disappointment every Saturday evening.

didn't realise Mary Berry was a City supporter!
The eggs are rotten and the flour has wilted.Even that ol gal would struggle to knock up a Victoria sponge with the ingredients we have
It's a little pointless predicting we will get points at the same rate as so far. We are bottom of the table, so that means certain relegation. We need to pick up points like the top 2 teams in the league to stand any chance. I'll stick with my opinion that after one more defeat it's effectively all over. After that, we'll need to win or draw all remaining games. It will be certain long before it is mathematically certain.I have done an analysis on this twice, and come up with the same result both times separately - at the **average** rate both us and the team in 20th are collating points, we will be down with either 3 or 4 games to go.

So you'll have to wait a bit yet. It will partly depend on when the Sheff U game gets rescheduled - if this is before Easter (unlikely), it will hasten our decline as is a likely defeat.
Forget it man, do you really think Oldham, Bury, Swindon & Port Vale will lose form so badly that they all pick up less points than games.OK.............maybe not time to close thread. Done some statto magic by transplanting MR's first spell here with out current points tally, and it makes interesting reading.
MR picked up 44 points in 25 league games, by my reckoning, in his first spell. That works out to 1.76 points per game. If we average that over our final 11 matches.........that's 20 points, to add to the 26 we have. 46 points could, COULD be enough to keep us up. If he can repeat his prior form, it will go down to the wire at the very least.
In the first 11 league games of his last spell, he "only" picked up 17 points (took us until January this season to get get 17 points FFS) so that would only take us to 43, we wouldn't survive on that. But again, it would be a damn sight closer than it would have been under Slade - in the 43 points scenario we'd be taking it into the final couple of games maybe rather than getting relegated at Easter under RS.
If we win enough points it doesn't require the other teams to go on an awful run. We're not reliant on other results.Forget it man, do you really think Oldham, Bury, Swindon & Port Vale will lose form so badly that they all pick up less points than games.
* Bury got 18pts in last 10 games, Oldham got 17.
Always best to leave the good news till last!So I did a bit of analysis of this farcical season. So far we have P33 W5 D10 L 18 Pts 25. If this form is continued, we will end the season with a total of 35 points (being slightly generous by rounding up the percentages). If that's the case, we'll likely be officially relegated by Easter, depending on the date for when the Sheff U game is rearranged.
MV won 4 out of his first 6, losing just one. But if you remove these 6 games from the season average, we have done the following: P27 W1 D9 L17.
Now if this was replicated over the course of the season, we'd end up with: P46 W2 D15 L29 Pts 21.
That's a win % of 3.7% and less than half a point per game. That's an absolute clusterfuck. Removing the figleaf of the first half of the MV interregnum it really does show this season for the omnishambles that it has been. That little "new 'sort of-new manger' bounce has saved us from utter and total humiliation and meant that we are purely in the shocking embarrassment zone instead.
On these sort of numbers it will take a huge effort even to be reasonably competitive next season in League Two; it will be a mammoth job if we are going to be challenging for a play-off spot. Add to that getting knocked out of the League Cup 6-1 by Norwich second XI and then out of the FA Cup by League Two Cambridge 4-0, and you yet get a sense of the despair that people are feeling.
But it's OK because we'll get a day at Wembley.
For what it's worth, Chesterfield lost tonight.
City still 5 points behind, but now with a game in hand.
Be nice just to get off the bleedin bottom.
Yep. Fixtures are going to pile up for them though. They have 3 games in hand over some sides.Was just about to post about Chesterfield losing, happy days.
Port Vale have only played 33 games
