Would you take 2nd place, if offered it now, part deux?

So, 12 points clear with 5 games left for us. To put this gap in perspective, thye need to average more points per game just to catch us on our current points total (6 games - 12 points), then they have averages for the whole season.

Obviously I think it's too much for Huddersfield now, but average points per game don't count for much when it's down to a few games. For example, Huddersfield need 2 points per game to catch us, but we wouldn't be happy if that was still the case with 1 game to go.

Would grab second in a flash. Nervy times, as Wagner chases us down.

I'm surprised some of the "Yes" voters are able to leave the house... I see it's the usual bottle job and bet wetters who voted 'yes' aswell...

Grow a pair and celebrate our promotion! We are going to win the league!!!

Definitely not. We've got a good chance to win the championship and isn't that what it's all about, winning things?

This one might be a little different

This is what happens when you offer a binary choice in respect of an endlessly complicated question. Anyway, we're going up; let's go up as champions!

Eh? You're offered the chance to take 2nd - it's a one off chance, take it or leave it, of course it's a binary choice. This is what happens [the poll result changes] when we win and our competition lose.

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

I know. Apologies. Anyway, I've changed my mind since the last one and would now not take second place if offered. What a position to be in!

If you're looking at betting or % as a guide we're as short as 1/500 to go up, so allowing for a profit margin a bookmaker should offer about 50/1 - 66/1 to NOT go up, however winning the league is presently around 5/6 the pair (again, allowing for profit, layers see it as a 50/50) Based on that alone I'll go for the NO option.

Likewise. 1 game less for Huddersfield to catch us, and 3 points further ahead is pretty big. And ahead of Newcastle too.
