Still maintain that we need to have the right attitude. We need to believe we can take the title.

Quite-Looking at it,it could be all too easy to go mathematically up and take the foot of the pedal.

Merdalfthewizard · Apr 9, 2017

undoubtedly no, it's a nice trophy to put in the cupboard

Steve.S · Apr 9, 2017

I don't see how this is relevant. 2 games ago when it was still tight, then it's a gamble. We are all but guaranteed promotion, so how hard is it to say yes let's go for first.

It was only 1 game ago for us (and Hudds and Newcastle both won on Wednesday). And I find it interesting how much difference one game can make. This is part of my weekend celebration.

I guess some people just aren't bothered by 1st, as promotion is the real goal.

Yesterday's set of results have changed my mind. Before then, I was ambivalent about the title just wanting to finish top 2. Now though, lets have that bloody silverware.

sully · Apr 9, 2017

My reply hasn't changed.

In it to win it.

Albumen · Apr 9, 2017

My reply hasn't changed either, I've just secured my winning bet as Newcastle are now 2.1s to win it. I'm now quids in and will spend most of it on the celebrations (and part pay for next year's fun).

Yes - I'd take 2nd, I'd rather guaranteed promotion than worry about being Champions

No - We're going up anyway, so I'd like to fight for the title

A few days is a long time.

Spicy · Apr 9, 2017

symyjym · Apr 9, 2017

Before 3pm yesterday I would have taken it without hesitation.

Why, is it not a fair question?

hart's shirt · Apr 9, 2017

We can hear 'We're On Our Way' from thousands of miles away.

And, to be fair, we've been on our way for months now.

Seagulls Over Dubai say 'No'.

The title beckons.

warmleyseagull · Apr 9, 2017

It was no first time on basis that the small risk of not making it was worth having a pop at a trophy and lasting recognition. The small risk is now minute so no it is.

graz126 · Apr 10, 2017

when we were 6 clear and hudds played a game less yes!!! Now its a def no!!!

Kalimantan Gull · Apr 10, 2017

I was 'no' first time round because that was the obvious answer. However 70% of you lot decided to vote yes, unfathomably, you damn fools.

So in the sense of 'if you can't beat them, join them' I have changed my answer to yes and trying out this bedwetting thing

No one other than Brighton and Newcastle fans will remember how we finished within a couple of years.

Brighton and Newcastle fans will, though.

Anyway, we're going to draw on points, goal difference and goals scored and win the league alphabetically.

seagurn · Apr 10, 2017

Sod Newcastle lets have the cup as this team deserve to have there name written into Albion folklore its been a long 34 years .

OzMike · Apr 10, 2017

No, not now there is only a choice of 1st or 2nd, 3rd will never catch us.
