Points dropped eventually. All of this is irrelevant unless we win out I would suggest.

Think that was a decent point for them and the gap between 2nd and the rest is looking wide now, especially as Cardiff have a game in hand.

We beat Fulham at our gaffe quite comfortably in one sense, and more importantly, in terms of the result. But it was clear to anybody with a clue that they were a good team who came to win a game of football.

Cardiff mark man to man, and leave their mark on the man they are marking. Different gravy, as our old mucker Merson The Person is wont to punt.

Bottom line; we might do better against a footballing team than an attritional side, in the semi final stage at least.

Fulham have improved leaps and bounds since then. I wouldn't say the win was that comfortable either, I was there and it was cagey enough towards the end but they just lacked the edge to find the leveller.

After watching Cardiff get a very lucky point I got to wondering how they are holding second spot, I didn't see anything about them that should worry a decent side or maybe I saw them on a bad day.

They've played like that everytime I've seen them. Their best performance of the season was probably when they beat us 3-0 at the start! They know how to get results when playing poorly and win ugly. We play poorly against the likes of QPR and Bolton and we lose.

Everytime ive seen them they have seemed nothing special at all. Makes their form and position outstanding. All they do is either hoof and look for flick ons, or have that Icelandic dude reincarnate Rory Delap at any given opportunity

Just noticed Brentford aren't that far off top 6 now.

Blimey think I'd rather play Millwall in the play offs than them given how our games have gone against them since relegation.

Posted this in the Match Thread in error. Ronaldo overhead kick is brilliant and gets a standing ovation from the Juventus fans.

Fuck me. Ronaldo just scored a screaming overhead kick.

Bayern fans giving him a standing ovation

I am not sure that you can mention the words "Ronaldo" and "screaming" in the same sentence these days #LadyBoyz #NewPuritans #LessOfThatSortOfThing #BlamePutin #CorbynNazi

The f***ing c***ing noses winning at Bolton just blew my 30/1 fivefold. Rochdale, Aberdeen, Dundee United and Dunfirmline all won for me.

Never bet on results which you want to happen. That's one of my rules.
