Strangely, SSN yesterday were saying that only Brighton had guaranteed at least a play-off place (heaven forbid!) and that Newcastle could achieve that this weekend. Can't see how they worked that out!
7th. - or lower! Even Norwich in 10th. could potentially overtake them. Also very unlikely, but............
Sorry to intrude into private grief but . . . . what does 'bore off' acually mean? I may have asked this question before. It is grammatical nonsense, and informs syntax like a little nugget of rabbit poo informs a bowl of muesli.
Oh, I see. Shorthand with word rearrangement. A bit like 'your talking', as shorthand with rearrangement for 'you're talking out of your arse'. Newfangled neologisms. I'll make a note

Hmmmm.... Why would he say he was goint to take one game at a time if we had just been promoted? There would be no more games to take one at a time. Perhaps he was referring to how he took each game before we reached the magic points tally. In which case, if I were Casper I would have said 'now your talking'.....
This has started to irritate me. Fortunately the expression has had the opposite effect on me to 'we're on our way' which has become an ear worm the size of this

Mmmm.... in which case Bennett was being unjustifiably rude. As, it would seem, are most people who use the expression.
Anyway, for me, anyone reaching for the 'bore off' solution becomes immediately diminished in my eyes. It fits in the pantheon of clunky, incorrect or incoherent words and expressions alongside the likes of:
Have you bought your wallet?
How significant do you think that result will be at the end of the season?
and the classic 'jog on'.
There are countless others but fortunately my tiny mind seems to have obliterated them from my easy-access memory tank.
Right, enough of this bollocks. Its a lovely day, and I have a football match to work myself up over. I dreamt about the Albion last night. I met all the players doing early training today, and gave them all my best wishes. It was tremendously emotional.

Radio 5 Live has just said 'Brighton could be promoted today'.
Agreed. The goal difference simply won't be overhauled in the real world.
