I've put my ENTIRE £5 weekly betting budget on those 4 games, and my betting history suggests that there is NO CHANCE I will be collecting 85 smackers come tomorrow night.

The way the fixtures are set, my betting history would suggest narrow victories for the first 3 with Newcastle slipping up.
I'd happily take that, on the basis we get the right result.
:eek: It's a no from me. The odds of those 3 all winning is about 7/1, while we're 2-1 on. No way I'd take that, even for Newcastle dropping points.

Newcastle will start to get dragged towards the playoffs and I could see pressure starting to mount on Rafa if that happens.
If Newcastle collapse, sure that's good for us. But if they just stay with us and keep the chasing teams interested, I'm not even sure that's a good thing. Realistically we want a gap to 3rd and the teams below us settling from draws and aiming for the playoffs.

First and foremost we obviously want 3 points ourselves. Secondly, we hope the 3 chasing teams drop points. Newcastle dropping points is less of a priority.

Only if you subscribe to the view that Newcastle are GUARANTEED a top two spot.

My view is that IF Huddersfield, Reading or Leeds go on a charge and overtake one of the top two, we want that to be Newcastle, not us!

Just as important that they drop points, IMO.

I've stuck a fiver on it. Hoping I don't collect tomorrow, but the winnings would pay for nice meal out with the better half.

For some strange reason, I can see Wolves getting a draw again Newcastle.

Being a pedant of course they're not guaranteed top two, but this is all about us having the best chance, and the chances are very high that Newcastle will be top two, so I'm more interested in us gaining on the others. That gives us the best chance.

Newcasele not us - right, so we want Newcastle to drop more points than us. No argument there. But taking Newcastle dropping 2 points for the other 3 dropping none, is a bad deal.

I respect your right to be wrong :)

Can't see past Leeds, Huddersfield and Reading all winning. Wolves could possibly do us a favour though.

Rhodes, one and a bit games, one goal and one assist for a winning goal.

Lucky we have a bit gap over Weds, they could join the party with the strikers they have
