Forgot its FA cup weekend :eek:

Friday nights Saints vs Reading game is more or less the title decider between the two of us, with a draw more or less ensuring West Ham can get no closer than third (given the closing games).

Thankfully Reading still have to play Brum when we have a fairly simple run in making the it more of a title decider for Reading... (really am trying to reassure my self as I'm so nervous already)
 
Some what harsh on City, late kick off on a Wednesday night followed by an early kick off Saturday afternoon :p

Hoping their dodgy away form holds up :)
 
Hmmm got Wigan at home on Mon night, id like to think we will smash them to pieces but having seen them play the last 2 games ie Chelsea and Utd...i think they are going to give us a run for our money. We really cant afford to lose or drop points against relegation bound teams but i wont be a happy bunny if we drop points to Wigan.

Also coupled with the fact that Koscielny is out due to his yellow cards, looks like we will have to rely on Djourou yet again :/. Verm and Kos have become quite a pairing in our defence this season. Hopefully 'Glass' Gibbs:p will be back fit and ready, cant really rely on Santos as much as i like him but hes a bit of a liability as lb.
 
I think Arsenal will win comfortably to be honest, much as a surprise result it was against Utd it was still at the DW and I can see them having a bit of a result-hangover after that especially making the trip down to the Emirates.

Tough game for City too, and Man Utd god knows :p Villa have been dire and have nothing to play for so I can't see anything but a Utd win especially if Scholes plays

3-3 draw would be immense. :D

I'm already nervous! Supposed to have done revision today, but have hardly done any out of pure anticipation.

3-3 would be too much for me, 2-2 last Saturday was pretty tense and I don't think I could take anything close to that again.... :p
 
Just looked at Reading's record they've been immense over the past few months, didn't realise it was on Sky might have a flick. :p
 
3-1 FT, can't see them not being promoted now and certainly look favourites to come first too. Happy for them, lost their best player and best CB in the summer, brilliant season for them.
 
Great win for Reading, West Ham not looking like they are going up auto

think Wigan can get a point against Arsenal, shame they are fighting for CL place, so they will be up for it

Think Man City will grind a result out, Villa need to win so they will be up for the game at OT

:mad:

Outraged by that game, Reading had 3 chances and scored all 3. We have 10-15 and managed to net one.

Danny Fox (our left back) wouldn't get into Swindon's first team the way he's played the last 6 months and Billy Sharp is blindingly useless, send the fat northerner back to his pie shop or something equally inappropriate.

On tonights performance we deserve 3rd and do fail with West Ham in the playoffs giving Brum 2nd place, cannot dominate portions of a game like that and not put it beyond doubt with that many chances.

In reality it's not season over at all, 2 simple wins against Peterborough and Coventry assure promotion, with the game against Middlesbrough and Readings game away at Brum really making up the difference between top and 2nd. I can live with 2nd, but anything less considering the season we've had would be disappointing.

Oh and the ref, shocking. No wonder there is a crisis in the confidence in "prem standard" refs.
