How the hell did you work that out?Quote:

Has there been any other occurrences other than ourselves this season, of a team finishing in the top half and losing more games than a team who has been relegated in the same season. We currently have lost 3 more than Huddersfield. I can't imagine that's happened too many times.Quote:

Three points for a win instead of two is the reason for that.Quote:

It was a lockdown project. Copy and paste from a decent source.Quote:

I'm going fancy dress as Aaron ramsey. I'm going to make a real effort so that people know who i have gone as, down to the smallest detail. I'll be wearing a pair of trousers, socks, pants, T-shirt, jacket and a pair of daps.Quote:

Rotherham haven't scored in their last 5 games.
Their goalie, playing his last match for them, is paying for a pint for the first 600 customers in a pub in the town on Saturday.
Whooosh? Shirley not 🤔Quote:

In reality the finishing position doesn't matter if it's anywhere from 7th to 21st. The outcome is the same - more Championship football next season.Quote:

Factually, correct, but I'm sure if you're being honest and not just pendatic you prefer finishing 7th in the season than 21st, for obvious reasons.Quote:

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.Quote:

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 conferenceQuote:

Wouldn't be surprised
