Forget speculating....

[Penarth Blues]

Just won our 6th game on the trot 4 points clear of 3rd 3 behind the leaders and now we're not even going up because wolves villa and Boro who we've already beaten twice are

On my part I'm looking at the fixtures remaining for the clubs still in the hunt, not just where we are now. The question was if you had to put your house on it then who do you expect to go up? I've given my viewpoint and the reasoning.

If the question was 'Do you think Cardiff can get promoted from this position given all the remaining fixtures to be played?' then I'd say that we've got one hell of a chance - but we need more things to fall for us than the other contenders do IMO

My apologies for having my own viewpoint on a question.

You are entitled to your own viewpoint obviously but in doing so you are dismissing your own teams chances of promotion even though City have averaged over two points a game over the whole season so far and in the process have beaten Wolves, Leeds and Middlesborough and drawn with Fulham on their own pitches, as well as beating Villa, Middlesborough, Sheff Utd, Leeds, Bristol City and drawn with Derby at home. We are also 4 and 5 points ahead of our nearest challengers with only 9 games to go but apparently are going to 'bottle it' in the run in. If thats not being negative I dont know what is.

If you (literally) had to bet your house (or your life if you don’t have a house) on who is going to get automatic promotion, who would you choose.

I’d go for Fulham and Villa. Us in third , playing carrot-munchers in PO semis.

I reckon you'd get amazing odds on that.
Wolves to finish 4th or lower from here?

[Rjk]

I've got the feeling Fulham may just run out of road, but they will be tricky customers in the play-offs. Surely the Wolves slump can't continue for much longer? So probably Wolves and Villa in the automatics. If Cardiff do make, it it will be the greatest achievement ever by a Championship team

Surely that cannot be true

Burnley got promoted after being favourites to be relegated, Huddersfield too. Blackpool going up was more impressive too.

Not sure if winning the playoffs can be the biggest achievement when you think about how much of a lottery it is and how a lot of the time you don't have to do *that* well to finish 6th

Look at the money we are competing against, it's ridiculous!

They got promoted when they were favourites to go down, just finishing in the top 6 was a huge achievement.

It’s too close to call, be amazed if wolves do balls it up. Think if we win Tuesday we won’t be caught. Fulham have an easy run in but do have 3 London derbies which will throw form out the window a bit. Can we pip villa to 2nd?

You don't half talk some shite. Read the question again Mr Offended. I think we have a great chance of promotion, I just think others have a better chance.I don't think our team will bottle it at all - I just think they have the harder task to achieve it.

I strongly suggest you calm down and have a word with yourself.

But we are up against a three-pronged attack! We have no right to be where we are

You said, if you could, that you would bet your house on teams other than City being promoted. I strongly suggest that you calm down and stop being so negative.

I can see that trying to discuss things using reason with you isn't going to work so I give up. Go and look up the definition of 'thought police 1984' to see how your postings come over to me. For a modern day alternative see how China controls what should be thought

[dembethewarrior]

Bristol will finish outside the top 6.

He’s just giving his opinion, we haven’t got to delude ourselves to be supporters

[Harry Monk]

I've forgotten who I would bet on.

Stop talking our promotion chances down
