Missed this thread earlier... just the one bet for me - a cheeky £10 e/w on Steve Stricker at 60/1. Wasn't confident after his start, but a solid (if unspectacular) -1 after day one... I'll take it! Looking very very good for Lee though...

Was that the Leeds game by any chance? I was properly panicking about that - the tunnel shut between London & Brighton, and then a failure on the Brighton - Falmer line. Ended up getting a taxi and still somehow arrived twenty minutes before kick off, never been later than that. As for the OP -...

I think it's very likely we'll go into the final day with it all in the balance, whether we're already sat in 6th or hoping for other results to go our way. I suspect you're right that we'll all be hoping for a Palace win that day! Millwall v Blackpool could be an interesting one though - quite...

I was a big fan of Reyes's scoop over the head of an opposition left-winger... but I can't for the life of me remember who the hell it was against. But surely Vicente is the master of the Amex flair... not sure which one to choose though!

I think it has to be Birmingham - as HawkTheSeagull says if they beat Burnley they're pretty much there. Big question... is it worth hoping that Birmingham go on a fantastic run, winning their next 5 games on the bounce? If they do, then by the time they come to the Amex they could have...

Points at the Amex against top 7 sides: Southampton 3/3 Blackpool 1/3 Middlesbrough 1/3 Doesn't help confidence about the West Ham game, but doesn't look too bad for the Reading/Birmingham games...

It has gone midday, you know?

Without offering any kind of in depth predictions... I just can't see that 72 will be enough. By your own predictions, that won't climb us above Birmingham or Blackpool, meaning that we're relying on Middlesbrough picking up 9 or fewer points themselves from their last 6 games, and as we all...

Not sure why you call this a "moral" dilemma. I think the moral position is quite clear; don't do it. Any dilemma you're having is nothing to do with morals.

Sunderland - Done Newcastle - Done Middlesbrough - TBC How many teams have done the North-East treble in one season, other than the big Prem boys? I think we'll be ok. I agree that they'll park the bus, but if we play at least one winger and can force a goal before half time then I can't see...

...and the fact that the tragic sinking of a ship and loss of life wasn't dramatic enough for Hollywood, so they had to introduce a gun.

Most financially valuable game in the entire world isn't it? I'm sure I've heard that, but I might have imagined it. I agree though it would be hard to relax and the nerves would be incredible... wouldn't miss it for the world though!

A lot of people are writing off the Lib Dems at the next election, but to be honest I really don't think people should - because there are very few 3-way marginals. In these, I agree the Lib Dems are probably dead, but they're so small in number it's irrelevant. The Lib Dems will be...

Indeed. No doubt the Red Bulls were full to the brim with fuel this morning, misleading everyone, ready to dominate the next too days...

If three of those four defeats are against Blackpool, Birmingham and Middlesbrough then I suspect there will be at least 6 teams finishing with more than 76 points. I see where you're coming from, but I really don't think applying it this late in the season is reliable enough for us to be...

By someone connected to the club?

I can't see us having a hope in hell of getting either Razak or Assulin on permanent deals. While Man City might be willing to let them go (their squad is big enough) they can surely command a damn hefty wage from City (whether sitting in the reserves or elsewhere on loan). If we don't go up...

Also, until Saturday, Vicente hadn't scored a goal at home. These kind of stats are there to be disproven; it'll all come good.

We at NSC (in particular you, turienzo's lovechild), are literally famous as this thread has been mentioned and linked to on the Guardian today. Literally brilliant. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/reality-check-with-polly-curtis/2012/mar/12/reality-check-literally-wrong-use-word

I think a better guide to how far right the Republican party is is not to look at Romney himself, but where he is. His main opponent (Rick Santorum) is a man who would ban not only abortion but birth control itself, has stated that the Government has every right to control people's bedrooms (he...
