The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[olaftab]

This is all very stressful. I'm quite tempted to go into a coma until the evening of 26th May and wake up to find out what league we are in next year.

How does that help the rest of us? You are completely selfish.

It'd mean you don't have to put up with me for over two months.

No we are are a team of  Suffragettes and  you have to stay awake with us.

I don't get this "avoid Fulham" clamour. This week we played the best team in history of world football who will be playing Champions League football in a 60,000 seater stadium within 2 years and one of the worst and look at the scores. It's all about how we play on the day.

Thanks. I just don't possess enough vocabulary to praise their greatness.

Wolves fan at work was telling me this week that our game against them on Saturday had been our Cup Final. I told her that the day that a game against Wolves would be a Cup Final for Villa would be the day hell freezes over.

I'd say the occasion was too big for Wolves if anything.  They went to the biggest club in the division against the biggest crowd and in a derby and it overwhelmed them.

Warnock quoted in press conference suggests they weren't expecting as much this season. 

And that he's expecting Cardiff to have  losses between now and end of season.

"We just don't get carried away, there's going to be losses between now and the end of the season, we've just got to pick ourselves up and get on with the next one and make a fight of it really.

"We didn't think we'd be anywhere near where we are, so I don't see why we don't enjoy it. I think when you start expectations you're likely to disappoint so we don't have any we get on with it really.

"They're a genuine bunch of lads, I've not heard any talk about automatic promotion or anything. I think we just know we are lucky to be where we are as a group - we've earned that right and we are going to continue as much as we can."

Just trying to take the pressure off his players. He knows the score.

[Matt Collins]

Yes

There will come a point where they’re expected to go up and then we’ll see how they handle it

But he’s done a phenomenal job so far

[MONCABA]

Thank you QPR.

The fat lass is heading to the stage.

Wolves and Cardiff got promoted today, play offs here we come.

[olaftab]

Close this thread and let’s hope we don’t slip out of play off places.

Just got to hope Derby do us a favour tomorrow. Otherwise game over.

Nah. It's over now. No pressure on Cardiff whatsoever. Handed it on a plate to them today. Last 2 matches have put huge dent in promotion prospects.

Going into the international break on two defeats and knowing we've 8 games to stay in playoffs. Bruce fluffed it for me.
