Presenting the trophy at the Mad Stad as we speak.

*no ROFLcopter*

Seems it was just days ago I was sighing w/relief over relegation being taken off the table (after Watford away, 42 points from 26)

Unbelievable, Jeff

Hiya First, it was brought to my attention that Fox Soccer Plus had a delayed screening of Saturday's final home match of the season against Palace in their listings for Sunday; this no longer seems to be the case, and I've checked everywhere However, Al-Jazeera will be screening the match live and ...

I've only been following club football since 2002/3 and watched the second leg of the play-off semi and thought eh whatevs --disappointment to be sure, but it's clear this is a club that has its act together and is going places Which turned out to be more or less an accurate read, but then what litt...

Veto any hopes of Coventry taking anything from today --sooner would see Forest (do their own part in beating Blackpool to end up) free and clear of the drop and reaching for the pipe and slippers by the close of business to-day And Cov won't be of any use at Saints in the finale even if they should...

Brum pull one back (not exactly breaking news I know) Leicester a goal down at Millwall --they (and, lesserly, Watford) were my dark horse for a late charge into the top six Forest would make themselves safe with a defeat of Blackpool if also Burnley hold on to beat Coventry We'd of course welcome a...

Look @ the end of the first half, too --weary legs/lapsed concentration to run at after the clock hits 40:00

Preparedness to take advantage, to say nothing of the avoidance of falling prey, is no accidental thing

Come the cold, hard light of Saturday, feast your squinted, bloodshot eyes and throbbing crania on this nice, fairly concise page of season's stats, including monthly divisional rankings, a progressive bar/line graph charting points won and table position, a graphical presentation of goal times, and...

We now have 9 points left to play for With Brighton on their dance card for Saturday, West Ham have 12 points left to play for Add the two together, and of course you've got 21 points In order to keep us from going up ahead of them, West Ham now require a minumum of 18 of those 21 points to break th...

Indeedio, and the fact that Brum's to us at 25 exceeds by 1 the number of combined points on offer to them (12) and us (+ 12 = 24) means that they can do no better than finish on level points with us (and the fact that ours to them is 1 means the same thing) Isn't Brum's to us 24, as they would cer...

You, me, and Sam Allardyce!

;) Amazing times these --enjoy, man

What we already knew, then-- Southampton (A) live this Friday on the Fox Soccer Plus premium subscription channel (621 on DirecTV and available on a multitude of other satellite and cable packages, plus via streaming subscription on FoxSoccer2Go.com) KO is 1945 at St Mary's/2:45 PM Eastern U.S. time...

Animals upstaging the main event (e.g., Highbury squirreLOL Arsenal v. Villarreal Champions League semis 2006; Helsinki owLOL Euro 2008 qualifier Finland v. Belgium)

Our magic number for Southampton is 13 and theirs for us is the same. Arithmetically spot on, but theirs to us is really 12 owing to a goal-difference bulge that, as a practical matter, we're not likely to surmount if we finish on level points with them (and greatly enhanced clarity on this piece o...

So the promotion number is seven after last night, right? RFC vis-à-vis West Ham --yes (and such is to make the reasonable assumption that Brum, by virtue of our winning a point somewhere or of their own failure to take maximum points from any one of their remaining matches, won't catch us) Put ano...

We never had one to answer --but good lawyering there all the same; way to go!/high five, etc You done right, Cubester --fully three sets of scenarios currently lie in front of us owing the the fact that we go heads-up against Saints, and two of them get wiped from the sl8 come Friday after 90 minut...

Just to clarify the meaning of this... The magic numbers for the clubs that could still finish ahead of us are: Southampton - 12 (notional as it allows for the fact that we're playing them - really it's 13)... Folks --it's 13 points in any feasible combination of : --points won by Reading ; and --po...

Win our last two at home --one against a nearly-safe Forest side and the other against bedded-in mid-tablers Palace-- and then we would need any combination of: --Four points picked up from our other three matches*; and --Four points dropped by West Ham in any of their remaining four matches Had Bru...

So that's Brum virtually out of the hunt for automatic (not that they were on the doorstep going in or that they would have been with a win, mind) and more or less left to consolidate their position amongst the top six and then downshift preparatory to the play-offs Which may prove well handy in our...

I've known about it for ages Sauce wuz err ah Fixtures365.com I think it were Not always first w/news of fixture rearrangements but pretty quick on the uptake For the longest time after it got moved to the Tuesday, Soccernet didn't have it on their list at all Which kinda sucked when I was sat here ...
