If Hume had scored the free header against Stoke? Blessing in disguise maybe?

That’s understandable from a neutral’s perspective, the title race will be all but over in their eyes if we win. There’s been plenty of times we’ve been the media darling over the last decade.

If we win we'll be 3 wins less with 12 games to go.

I'm afraid decades of vitriol towards match officials has predictably led to a reduction in the talent pool. We've got exactly what we deserve. I would genuinely like to see a pundit or manager ref a National League dead rubber at the end of a season and maybe an interactive programme on TV where we can ref a game at home.

Refs tend to get noticed when they make mistakes or there are borderline decisions. The former is human and the latter unavoidable. There are plenty on here who were "in line", "2 rows back" or sat on the match ball, who clearly saw the ball hit the player's hand when it in fact hit his chest.

What are we comparing the standard of refereeing to? They get criticized/abused at all levels all over the world.

Another 6 are in our sights this week: Watford Bristol City Birmingham Cardiff Plymouth Blackburn

B+, good content but formatting is all over the place, spaces after commas please, and a lot of errant capital letters.

Better than that, out of the 92, we have the highest PPG, highest goals scored and 3rd lowest concede despite playing 8 games more.

Watford, Cardiff, Plymouth, Swansea and Birmingham are all in danger of joining the list within a week.

Southampton have still got to play 9 of the current top half, Us 8, Leeds and Ipswich both 6.

The last day would be fvcking mental!

It all changes in the summer assuming we go up.

Our record against the current bottom 16 teams is P22 W20 D1 L1, that's bloody ridiculous!

1.5 per game will leave us on 99 points which would most probably be sufficient.

Or the earliest we won't be able to get automatic promotion mathematically which will be after Birmingham if we lose our next 10 and Southampton and Leeds win all theirs.

I think we'll get over the line with a thread on how many teams need to go into administration for QPR to make the play-offs.

We definitely can't finish below 17th and I imagine it would be higher than that already. Only 2 of the teams between 15th and 21st can catch us but it could be any 2.

Because of the games the teams from 15th to 21st have against each other I think only 2 can catch us so 17th would be our lowest possible finish.

We're 5000/1 to finish below 6th! ⚡️⚡️

Good post IMO,. I was replying to a post about having a time keeper that couldn't be done at grassroots btw.

The great thing about football when I was growing up was the game was the same in a primary school game as it was in the World Cup. For me, the further it moves away from that the worse it will become.

It's not so long since The Mercury was the go to place for all LCFC news. Who pays journalist's wages, other than advertisers, if no one will stump up 10p a day to keep abreast of local news?

Sounds good, have you got a link?

Yep, if Truss performed brilliantly in a local council planning committee I wouldn't want her back in Downing Street.
