6th place in the Championship, final play off spot

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

I have this nagging thing in my mind in relation to an old football adage I seem to remember

"You don't beat the same team 3 times in a season"

So with that in mind I want to keep away from either Boro or Derby

Surely the football Gods will right the wrongs (Crippling Grealish and the shitty handball goal) done at the bitters earlier in the year and see us through against this shithouse lot

You've got me worried now. It would be typical of us to go into a final ( IF we get there) all over-confident and get done 1-0 from a defensive error.

I'm with Risso too.  Been saying for a while that I fancy them to sneak in, and beat Dirty Leeds for us.

EDIT - Ask Alan Brazil about beating the same team three times in a season. He hasn't mentioned it yet this week

As old football adages go it doesn't exactly stand up to scrutiny. I'm still traumatised by Liverpool doing us three times in 1996.

I'm not going anywhere near our record against Man United, bound to be a few examples in there too.

Surely if Tiny Penis does not get them up this year he must be a gonner and then career over - no one would be stupid enough to employee him and his brand of anti football again

Better than anyone we should know that the stupidity of club owners and chairmen should not be underestimated.

The only time we’ve beaten them in almost 30 years, it was in the wrong match that season!!!

Obvious ones are we beat Blackburn 3 times in 3 weeks in 2010, all cup games. We did lose both league games though. We beat Leeds 3 times in 80/81, and also drew. Ipswich beat us 3 times that season, much good it did the gimps.

I'd rather play a team we've beaten twice than one that's beaten us twice.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hopefully either Derby or Middlesbrough, as they're not very good.

[Risso]

We’ve beaten Derby and Boro 13-0 on aggregate this season. Rarely can a side have beaten two top 6 rivals so comprehensively over 4 games. I have every confidence that if we meet either in the final it would be another thrashing we’d hand out.

[pauliewalnuts]

Boro win at Rotherham and finish 6th on 73 points.
Derby draw at Albion and finish 7th on 72 points.
Bristol City win at Hull and finish 8th on 72 points.

That’s how I see it.

That's where my £5 went today. 15/1.

[Risso]

Following one of Damo's bets is a surefire way to financial ruin and destitution!

[KRS]

I think Derby will get their win at home against Baggies and the rest of the results will be irrelevant. They do have a history of being bottlers but I think they'll do it this time given the opposition...if not, then Boro will take 6th spot after beating Rotherham. Bristol need too many snookers to make it.

[Lastfootstamper]

Derby will lose, Boro will win, Bristol City will lose and blame us somehow.

[PeterWithesShin]

We seem to have a very weird obsession with Bristol City.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of you, but I have. And it's not weird, it's irrational. And pointless.
