What's wrong with decimated?

It has come to mean wiped out or almost destroyed. It comes from one in ten. Julius would roll in his grave.

I know what the origins of the punishment are fella. I must be doing my "I'm a history nerd" gig wrong, was just curious as to the beef. For what it's worth Caesar didn't use it.

Crassus Clay as they called him in China. See Mohammed Ali.

Somewhat crazily, Crassus and China may have a real link...

Season warming up now, gap to 2nd back down to 5 points.

We're on course for about 80 points over a full season so not far off the form we need now.

4 games til the Christmas schedule starting with Sheffield Utd at home on 23rd December.

Ipswich h
Leeds a
Millwall h
Derby a

The teams above us are all averaging 2 points a game so 8 points is the minimum requirement just to keep in touch. So to me that means we need to win one of those 2 away games just to make up ground. That's how tough it is now especially with key players injured, but Bruce has to do that to get an automatic spot.

Should be aiming for 3 wins from those 4 games, but 8pts with 2 draws wouldn’t be bad considering the injuries we have at the moment. As long as we keep up with the 3 teams above us during December then we’ll be in with a good shout if we do some good business in January.

It'll be interesting to see how last night's defeat affects Sheff Utd, especially letting in 5 goals.

As likely to be buoyed by their late recovery and standing ovation from their fans at the end.
They're a great bunch of lads unfortunately and will take some stopping.

Also 6 points ahead of 7th for those weirdos thinking we won't finish in the top 6 this season. :D
