Bristol City have some tough fixtures coming up. I can see them dropping off.

I'm looking up, not down. We'll finish 5th and play the Baggies in the play-offs. One thing on our side is we have the players that can handle the expectation and pressure, not to mention momentum.

I think it's a huge task to finish 6th but will be delighted to so so.

5 or 6 teams chasing the final 2 spots.  We are certainly in the driving seat now.  4 games ago, we were needing something like 9 wins from 12 games.  Now it's 5 from 8 with a possibility that 4 wins would be enough - A 50% ratio.

Looking at everyone's fixtures I think there could still be a few twists and turns in the final few weeks.

It would be extremely funny if neither the Albion or Leeds are promoted this season (and we are).

It would be amusing.  But I probably still wouldn't listen, being the arrogant Vile fan that I am.

All Vilers are arrogant apparently. We are also supposedly all 'fannies'. Obviously at the moment we are rather happy fannies. There is often a team who makes a late run into the play offs and that team often does well in the play offs. I honestly believe that will be us this year. A number of teams just below us in the table like Preston, Bristol City, Wednesday, Hull, Small Heath and Brentford can all put out decent first elevens but they don't have the squad strength and depth that we have.

I'd rather face Leeds than Sheffield Utd, OR Norwich in the play-offs, if it happens. Nobody else causes me too much concern.

With a full strength squad we can beat, nay, demolish anybody. We need to collectively pray that nothing happens to Jack, SJM or Emperor Mings in the next few games.

Did Boro look to you a team yesterday that can secure another 17 points in the run in?

Yes and they will do it by scoring only 7 goals. 5 wins and 2 draws and 1 loss or that is the Pulis plan ;D

Boro are a joke.

Pretty much all season Pulis has played 5 CBs and then 4 defensive midfielders as they did yesterday. He's beyond a parody now.

They had a 15m pound striker on the bench yesterday.

Travesty if they make play offs ahead of good football teams like Preston and Bristol City.

I agree with your point entirely, but don't think we're on the surest of ground if we take the piss out of £15m strikers.  We've got 3 £12m strikers, one on loan at Sheffield United, one who will never play for us again, and one who at the moment is an occasional sub!
