We also run the risk of [MENTION=12595]Acker79[/MENTION] doing something fudging stupid with orange, on the 'can't catch us thread'.
And I'm not having that.

This nonsense about being effectively promoted tomorrow because of our superior GD

I so want it to be at Norwich with repeated choruses of 'Chrissy Hughton's Blue & White Army' booming out.
Then capped at the end of the game with the boss walking across the Carrow Road pitch to acknowledge the Albion support with a knowing smile to the bewildered Norwich supporters that says, "You should have stuck with me you carrot crunchers".

Hudds lose, we win tomorrow and we have preliminary/warm up celebrations ahead of the formal affair at home on Monday. Everyone's happy??

I have been one of the most dibelieving people on the planet this season constantly worrying and then celebrating then worrying. If Preston and BHA win tomorrow we are up. FACT.

The scenario I want most is to seal promotion on Monday at the final whistle and to celebrate with those who I have stood with for the past 5 years. If we don't do it then, then I want Huddersfield to beat Derby so we can get there on the next final whistle at Norwich.

But what if one of you is already married so you're committing bigamy?!
The analogy with our situation is getting another 15 points to the end of season then getting a twenty points deduction for going bust or TB to be found (rather belatedly) as not a fit and proper person to own the club?
Or CH incurring such a penalty for over-exuberance on the touch line.
Or Trump declaring a nuclear war pre-season? Oh hang on, maybe not so unlikely......!?
Suggest the mods close all these threads, from both the ultimate pessimists and the triumphalists......!

I will also be there tomorrow. Very relaxed about the match and seeing it as another away day out. I won't worry if Wolves win at all.

The thing about achieving promotion over Easter is that it takes all of the excitement out of the end of the season.
We can deal with that by losing the next four matches and keeping our fingers crossed.
Go for it, Chris.

I'll be losing all grip on reality if Preston and Albion both win tomorrow...
Because in the real world we are up if that were to happen

We are in a strange position, a bit like our promotion to the Championship. 16 points ahead of game in hand Southampton, with 5 games to go and we finished just 3 points ahead of them. They won all their last games and we only added 5 points from 5.
Right this second we need 2 wins to be mathematically certain but it might turn out that we don’t need any at all. It has a hanging around in purgatory feel about it and awaiting a final judgment.
Still it feels a lot nicer than scrapping for points just to get in the playoffs.

It may be the latent accountant in me but it really hacks me off.
If we are 15 points ahead with Huddersfield with 5 games to go, the assumption is that even if we lose 4 and they win 5 they won't overtake us on goal difference. But they could and therefore it is not promotion, effectively or not.
Well it's 35 goals to make up. Say we lose all four of us 3-0 like at Forest, that's 12 of them. Could be worse at Norwich if they are on fire! 23 goals in the Huddersfield games is only 5-0 in four and 3-0 in another.
Oh okay, yes it isn't going to happen is it. But the phrase does for some reason make my blood boil.
Wouldn't it be just lovely if every NSC registered member decided to start a thread on whatever at that moment came into their head?

If we win and Huddersfield lose tomorrow then I think we can pop the cork and hopefully pour a glass on Monday
