It is yes ‘but you would have to be willing to travel ‘it’s in Lowestoft on the east coast.
It is yes ‘but you would have to be willing to travel ‘it’s in Lowestoft on the east coast.I take it that it's your pub? If so, can you say which one? - so we can visit post pub lockdown!
No meetings today so we’re only likely to hear a couple of rumours, MacAnthony spout off about something, a statement from a club going broke and Andy Holt.
If not, we just jump straight into the Premier League.Doesn’t there have to be 2 votes? Just because we agree to say end the season and put the top 2 up with play offs doesn’t the championship have to agree?
It has to be decided within the next week. Whatever way you cut it as the deadline is 25th and that’s Monday so they can be dithering idiots like now but in the end they will run out of time.
17th June THIS year?I think that deadline has been pushed back now. I think the leagues need to let UEFA know by 17th June what their plans are.
Too far Otis, you've taken it too far. :joyful:Andy Holt and MacAnthony in a naked mud wrestling fight.
Clay - offs.
:wideyed:
He will be on Tiger King later I am assured !As long as the ledge Darragh is on Tv today that’s all that matters xx
Looks like the tide is turning on Posh
I’m sure being a football fan isn’t supposed to involve waiting for so many meetings to finish.
Admin, the Ricoh, this, seems our fate is decided in meeting rooms as much as football pitches recently.

Andy Holt. :emoji_ballot_box_with_check:
Win one game and we're 10 points clear. We'd need to lose probably 5 games out of 10 to even have a chance of finishing in the playoffs and we've lost 3 times all season.Some fans on twitter suggesting that teams like Cov are scared of playing out the season as they've got "a lot to lose", ignoring the trajectory Cov are on. The only thing we've got to lose is a club record points tally based on current form.

Anyone else just shudder & recall 2002 when fellow city fans state such facts?
We were hovering around 4th or something then though weren't we. We're miles clear at the top now. Even big boy Darragh isn't arguing about sending us up.Anyone else just shudder & recall 2002 when fellow city fans state such facts?

They’d be right, we’d be mad to vote to continue when we can have the title now.Some fans on twitter suggesting that teams like Cov are scared of playing out the season as they've got "a lot to lose", ignoring the trajectory Cov are on.

assume it's fans of teams about 3 wins behind us with only 9 games left to play.Some fans on twitter suggesting that teams like Cov are scared of playing out the season as they've got "a lot to lose", ignoring the trajectory Cov are on.

Almost 2 1/2 months since a league game was played, there is no current form..
Think I'm right in saying if we won all our remaining matches we'd equal the League 1 points record too - just as likely as the collapse they're predicting.
Empty vessels (such as the fans on twitter you spoke of) make the most noise and should know better. Unlike DM who has gone on and on about finding some kind of backdoor to get into the Championship (while dragging other teams into his schemes), we've been very calm and collected through this whole arduous process of learning the fate of League 1. In the very beginning we were ready to play out the season. But as days have turned to weeks and weeks potentially to months, it seems sensible to find a way to end the season in a fair and just manner where more than 75% of matches have been played. That's not called being scared. That's being practical. With so many other leagues ending their season and finding a way to determine who is promoted/relegated, our expectations for League 1 to do the same is only natural. It's not like League 1 will be the only league that rewards those who deserve it and punishes those who don't. At some point we've got to draw the line, find closure and give credit where it's due. This cannot drag on forever as the financial repercussions of that are far worse (as more teams fold or lay off staff to keep afloat). For teams/fans who feel aggrieved that they didn't get a shot at promotion/playoffs (assuming there is no playoffs or that their team wasn't chosen for it), all I can say is that life isn't fair sometimes. We've had more than our fair share of pain and misfortune over the years (I think there's even another thread on this forum about that). So if we get promoted based on PPG (weighted/unweighted), I really think we've deserved it this season. We were on a 14 match unbeaten run at the time the season was cut short. I think we could have even extended that run (especially after beating Portsmouth, Sunderland, Ipswich and getting a respectable point vs Rotherham). So I don't buy the argument about being scared. We halted Portsmouth's winning run, Ipswich were in freefall after January, Wycombe lost their way after we hammered them in Dec, Sunderland even found a way to lose to Bristol Rovers just before this COVID-19 crisis to ruin their playoff chances, Rotherham lost to Rochdale in March just before this crisis...We were the team leading the form tables as well at that time. All things considered we damn right deserve to be promoted to the Championship as we've consistently been the best team throughout the season and there cannot be any arguments about that.Some fans on twitter suggesting that teams like Cov are scared of playing out the season as they've got "a lot to lose", ignoring the trajectory Cov are on.

can't be Posh or Pompey fans talking about bottle.It’s interesting that they’d think a team that far ahead of 3rd with a game in hand and losing just 3 all season would bottle it.
can't be Posh or Pompey fans talking about bottle.
Pts won after falling behind
Coventry City 19pts (1st),
Pompey 4pts, Posh 3 pts (21st& 23rd) - both sides haven't won a game the 13 times each they've conceded 1st this season - sounds like a real bottle problem
Our stat doesn't suggest "bottle" is a problem
