Staring at the rude boys
Would you rather be one point ahead like us, or have a game in hand like Boro ?

A point ahead or a game in hand ?

The former.
I'd rather have the points in the bank at this stage.

In this league where anyone can beat anyone, then points on the board have gotta be better all day long !

Towards the top a game in hand towards the bottom the points.
Teams toeards the top will be ysed to winning and would expect to make up the ground from the game in hand.
The converse is true in a relegation fight.

Points in the bag, especially with an inferior goal difference

My Dad always said points in hand, are better than games in hand.

I'd take a 2 point lead but a game in hand for a top end side has to be better than one point - particularly as a draw takes them above us on goal difference.

At this time of the season, points on the board every time. Games in hand can be a nightmare if the pressure gets to you and you're playing catch-up.
Can we please just agree where points are kept/put?!?!
The best there was, the best there is, the best there ever will be... Oh wrong Brett Hart. My mistake.

Both would have been nice.
Are you all bloody shitfaced?
Points in the ****ing bag my arse. I'd rather have 3 points in the bag than a game in hand, sure, but 1? 1 measly ****ing point! Using your infant school logic you'd rather have 2 points in the bag than 5 games in hand.
I can guarantee you this - in the remaining fixtures we'll need more than 1 point per game average if we're to finish in the top two. 79 points will not see us in the top two. So of course 1 shitty little point isn't worth a game in hand.
I despair at the intelligence North Stand Chat has to offer sometimes, it's depressing.

As it stands I would sooner be in Boro position than ours.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
Obviously on the board hand bag bank thingy?
But I am with Triggaaar, the chance for 3 points should be favoured.

I guess a lot would depend on who the game in hand was against. If it were against Charlton or Bolton for example, then yes, I guess I'd prefer the game in hand.
