That assumes Stoke pick up nothing at Blackburn tonight.
They absolutely won't.

Ambiguous!

They absolutely WON'T get nothing?

So are you predicting they will win or draw?

I'm not too sure yet. Maybe you could give us a stats burst to help me make up my mind.......

Hilarious. Awful attitude and one of the best pieces of business we have ever conducted getting a decent fee for him. Liability.
That’s an odd conclusion to draw from his time with us. He was no world beater but he did a decent job in a number of positions. No more evidence of a ‘bad attitude’ than any other player.
Certainly agree that the fee we got for him was well above the going rate.
He's prone to the occasional stupid red card and getting in scraps... plus he's been accused of having a poor attitude by a previous manager hasn't he? That's a bit more than most players, even if OMA is dialing the hyperbole up to 11.

He also famously responded to Villa's relegation by saying he wanted to move to a club with Champions League football. Not really relevant to us, but pretty hilarious.

There’s plenty of players who do the odd daft thing. Does Blackett have a bad attitude ? Does McShane ? Does Gunter ? Does McLeary ? Does Swift ?

I'm not sure why you're just calling out random names who mostly have nothing in common with what was described.

I thought Paul "I've never trusted any manager", had a ding dong with Williams on the pitch and also some stupid red cards McShane was an interesting inclusion for his point.

Shocking lack of goals in the Championship last night, our game excepted

It must be one of the lowest scoring rounds of fixtures for a while?

Yes because apparently anything I say or speak about or do means I haven't changed my 'ways'.

Maybe Genome should look at changing his own ways of always sticking his neck in and not being able to help himself get drawn into arguments. And you should change your ways of always causing arguments and being rude.

I have changed very much actually and I won't be drawn into your obvious and rubbish bait

Mate just do what I did and put him on ignore, it was a great decision. He isn't worth your effort.

It was about me because you and your chump, OMA, made a comment about me.

Concerning thing is on our "easiest" run:

Barnsley - won their last three
Birmingham - unbeaten in twelve games
Stoke - sketchy form but picked up some decent results under O'Neil
Derby - 3rd best home form in the Championship
