    Does it not bother you that we could, potentially, be the first side in the history of the second tier to finish in the top half, yet lose 3 more games than a side that gets relegated?
    Not really, but fair enough I get the point :thumbup:

    I need to see better football next season, it's been hard work at times.

      What is the injured/unavailable situation for Rotherham? If I understood Bulut right in his pre-match press conference it is:

      Jak Alnwick, Mark McGuinness, Perry Ng, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Aaron Ramsey, Rubin Colwill, Kion Etete, Yakou Meite, Karlan Grant and maybe Jamilu Collins - with Callum O'Dowda probably fit for a bench place.

      I expect a similar starting line up to the Boro game - and similar substitutions. Maybe Conte to start in place of Romeo?

        Well I haven’t preferred this season to last season. It’s been incredibly tedious. We’ve known for many months that we had no chance of going up and no chance of going down either, but the manager has nevertheless persisted with his sterile, unadventurous tactics throughout. With the exception of the occasional five-minute spell here and there, City’s football has bored me rigid.

        The genuine threat of relegation kept last season interesting, at least to a degree. This season has been like watching wood warp for six long months.

        As Captain Sensible so wisely said, glad it’s all over. Or at least it will be by 3pm tomorrow.

          Please, not an 'on the beach' performance from City, though I can perfectly understand one from relegated Rotherham. Also the difference between finishing 12th or up to a possible 9th place..

            I don't really see the point potentially risking O'Dowda given his injury record, I think Bulut alluded to that as well in his press conference

            With nothing being on this game for either team I wonder if Erol will go for a cup style performance

              Not the South Yorkshire Cup result this season though, hopefully.

                  I quite liked the version that we would sing at other fans.

                  For example:

                  "Bristol boys, Bristol boys, laced up slippers and Tonka toys"! :hehe:

                      Wonder if it will be a,record breaking 22nd consecutive 1 goal win?
                      Wouldn't be surprised

                          But don't we get more money for each position higher we finish?

                            I don’t think so. That’s the case in the Premier League, but I don’t believe it’s the same in the EFL.

                              There is prize money on a scale according to league position, but it is not a lot!
                              1st £100k, 2nd £50k, down to £7k for finishing bottom.

                                That’s right, it’s basically insignificant. I read somewhere recently that the losing play-off finalist will get more in TV revenue from that one game than Leicester will get for winning the league. That makes sense if the prize for becoming champions is just £100,000.
