Once again. Can we not have a culture where people are told they have to gamble to be taken seriously? I really don’t think it’s wise on a forum for a sport filled with addicts.

66/1 is hardly gambling if you think we’re in a relegation battle, it’s easy money. Lay it off near the end of the season and you’re not even risking anything.

Unless the bookies actually have it right and we’re in no danger of relegation of course.

We're 40/1 on SkyBet, where are you getting 66 from?

Im sorry. Maybe you have a problem and you haven’t admitted it. If we had several members on the forum who were admitted alcoholics I wouldn’t be telling them to just have a sip.

You can make your point without needing to gamble and if you can’t I suggest you seek help.

i dont think we are in a relegation battle - we are just in mid table mediocrity.

Wont get into the whole gambling thing, but odds are a good barometer.

We are still more likely to get promoted than relegated according to those!

If I thought you were genuinely saying this in good faith and not to point score on the internet I would agree. But I don’t.

Of course you don’t. But I am.

Birmingham had 28 points after 15/6 games last season, 6 points off the bottom 3.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Lol not with the gambling trigger nonsense again. Such deflection

Can we never mention pubs to go to before a game either please incase we have recovering alcoholics on here

not good

Ok

I think we are better than they were and the teams below us are currently worse

Patronising bollocks.

You’re so cool and hard. Can I be your friend?

I'd call you a useful idiot.

You wouldn't tell them to have a sip? You know sudden withdrawal is as dangerous as large consumption don't you?

Hilarious. I’m currently losing one of my close friends to alcoholism so imagine how much I’m rolling on the floor laughing right now.

Where was I laughing? You are the one that came out with the insensitive analogy. Withdrawal from alcohol is exceptionally dangerous.

Get to fuck. That wasn’t what I said at all. Fuck you.

People will seriously argue about anything on here.

Do you want some.

 

[jto123]

Said it on every single one of these threads.

You can get 66/1 on us to go down. Surely worth a fiver if you actually think we’re in trouble? Or are people just fear-mongering for effect…

I would never bet against the club (just a personal thing), but if someone asked me objectively whether that is a good bet (presuming it is 66/1), I would have to say it is worth a punt.

 

[quinn1971]

We‘ll be fine, Luton are making sure we stay up

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

I don't think we will be relegated but unless we bring some players in this window it won't be comfortable

I expect us to finish mid-table

It isn't nonsense.

So many pub options around Highfield Rd.
So few at the CBS, although the Casino & the "Jimmy Hill" ain't too bad.

No they won't

No they won't

Yes we will

11 points clear of the bottom 3.

Can we now officially officially agree, we are now not in a relegation battle?

 

[Evo1883]

no , top 6 more likely

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

11 points clear of the bottom 3.

Yes.

 

[Gint11]

I’ll hold my hands up. I was concerned about getting sucked in a relegation battle and they are proving me wrong

go on the lads

Unfortunately I have to concede I was wrong on this one….although the Coventry fan in me still feels it could go wrong!

 

[robbiekeane]

fucking hell there are some absolute honkers in here. like this

Lampard incapable of getting more out of them or motivating them or setting us up to be hard to beat.

 

[alexccfc99]

Let’s be fair, up until the Bristol City win talk and worry of a relegation battle was not unfounded whatsoever

I was certainly worried as we were conceding crap goals nearly every week but they’ve been cut out and we have found a winning formula

I do think though it’s a pretty damning reflection on the rest of the division that we have only looked a decent side for about two weeks and a win Wednesday would take us level on points with the Top 6 - It’s a poor Championship this season

I would do some research and look back in the last 5 seasons of the Championship and specifically the league table between game 22 and game 30 period. The league position changes are quite significant.

Even more so between game 30 and the end of the season.

Every single season, because of this movement people say “it’s a poor Championship this year”.
But the place fluctuation is the norm (other perhaps the top 2 or 3).

It doesn’t make it a poor league in my eyes, it’s what makes it the best league in the world.
