Obviously. I think I'm trying to say that in my opinion the worst case is Bournemouth getting the Conference place. Palace getting it is the second-worst case.
Worst:
1. Bournemouth finishing above us and getting the Conference place.
2. Palace winning the FA Cup.
Best:
1. We scrape into the Conference, which is a winnable competition.
The slight advantage we have is that Brentford and Fulham play each other the day before us and so, added to the pressure of a local derby, will be the fact that both will have to assume they have to win. Actually a win is the only result that is any use to Fulham, unless you count the joy of...
Anyone but the Pluckies, please. So either Brentford or Fulham and that probably means we need one of them to win when they play each other.
I fear our chance went with Newcastle's equaliser. I think we'll dominate at Wolves despite the excellent form they're apparently in, but somehow manage...
I've been lucky enough to talk to Ayari in the post-match mixed zones and he's a seriously impressive character. His belief in his own ability is off the charts and even at Blackburn and Coventry he trained every day as if he was starting at the weekend, which he usually wasn't, and when he's on...
I don't know enough about this entire subject to think that my opinion should matter, but it seems to me that the law ruling on this is a bit like the law deciding that Rwanda is a safe country. The law can say what it likes but it doesn't make it so.
We can still finish in the top half of the top flight for only the third time in our history, and eighth - which would be our second-highest finish ever - is not impossible, however unlikely. So I have to feel positively about this season.
Mind you, I still look forward to every single...
What none of these pieces of clickbait mentions - and you'd think it was rather important - is that Potter made the club signing Webster a condition of his coming to us from Swansea. So there might be more in the story than usual, but as the writers didn't seem to know this ...
I know that Bournemouth have refused The Athletic accreditation at times this season because they don't think they're getting adequate coverage. Maybe Brentford are doing the same. The real AN certainly wasn't in the press box yesterday.
I was in the mixed zone about 30 minutes after the final whistle waiting to speak to players (nobody spoke) when JP was wheeled out on what looked like a hospital trolley to a waiting ambulance. He looked barely conscious and was still on oxygen. At that point I wouldn’t have put money on him...
