Which includes beating Watford Saturday, and we are guaranteed automatic promotion. :malky:

Is that your opinion or a fact? :ayatollah:

Actually, a win on saturday versus Udinese wouldn't make it a fact but it would mean they would have to win all five of their remaining games whilst we lose all our remaining six, so very unlikely they would catch us ;)

It would also mean no-one else other than Udinese and Hull could catch us ;)

I'll be massively disappointed if we aren't 'up' by the end of our 3 game home run from next Tuesday :ayatollah:

FACT!

If we win we'll be on 81pts

Watford maximum points haul would be 85

Therefore we'd only need 5 more points to guarantee promotion?

That's 8 when I went to school?

Merlin, better to think of it as a 5 point or more swing mate.

Like you said, we beat Watford we are on 81 points. They can only get 85 points.

We win our next game and we have hit 84 points.

They lose their next game they can only reach a maximum of 82 points meaning we'd get autos.
They draw their next game and they can only reach a maximum of 83 points meaning we'd get autos.

If we beat them then every time we win we pile the pressure on them to do the same or its over for them which is why we need to beat them because then we'll see if they can handle the pressure. :ayatollah:

I think a win Saturday would so it.
