So theres a chance hull could lose, say 2-1, and get in if wrexham loses by 2+ goals.
And in that scenario Derby could also pass them both with a win or draw. It could be a dramatic day.
Hawpe hit one of the longest HRs I’ve ever seen in person in that Saturday night elimination game against Southern.

Ben Saxon tyfys.
Yes.

If Leeds beat Burnley and Spurs lose to Villa, the only way Spurs can pass Leeds is if they win every remaining match and Leeds loses all of theirs.
It didn’t matter in the end but fyi you typed all of this out and still got the number wrong. The poster you replied to was correct.
quote:

we played 3 times.
none of which went to extras.

so that’s 27 innings.

we never trailed in game 1, so that’s 9 of the 27 that we didn’t trail.
we took lead in the 6th of deciding game.

so add 3 more, that’s 12 of 27

they didn’t take lead of of the one one game they won until the 3rd.

so 6 of 9.
and 1 sill inning next game.

so my bad. 7 of 27.



7 inning total
7 out of 27.
Good distraction while the run lasted, on to Burnley.
Announcers rightfully calling out Chelsea for being c words, as we’ve seen from them in both other games this season. Such a shameful, pathetic lot.
Awesome, as someone suggested on one of the TSB shows, just go get in the middle of their team talk.

Just one of several things that you anticipated coming up positive that ended up coming up negative.

Williams wasn't "awesome" last year. But, he was a contributor and flashed at times. It was a pretty good bet that he'd continue his development and take a step forward.

He's gone backwards.
Same as Rizy.

Yes he is in charge but he’s not the one making the errors & walking people & hitting weak fly balls to center.

Was he the one making the plays, striking people out, and hitting homeruns in 23 and 25?

To what?

The downside is caused by their own incompetence and frickery.

MOT what are tNumbers looking like this morning?


7 points is the number to be safe from Spurs, 9 and 12 for West Ham and Forest.

I posted this back on February 6th and I think it’s going to hold true. Wolves took longer because they won some unexpected games. Burnley happened on schedule, and Spurs will be an added bonus.

quote:

I’m tracking the magic numbers and they roll down much quicker than they did at the top of the champo last year because teams rarely dropped points. I think we’ll mathematically guarantee a finish above Wolves as early as mid March. Burnley in late April or when we play them the first week of May, and West Ham the second week of May.
Mathematical safety is really close. If the results play out a certain way it could happen as early as next Friday.

It will likely go to the following week, but that’s how close the certainty is.
Seems like a pretty massive fail on LSU’s part if it could have been take care of that easily.
quote:

I mean, Tony V had no pro experience, is definitely a guy who wants control and the Giants hired him.
Having no pro experience was only one of the descriptors. Besides that and being college coaches I highly doubt you could name any other similarities between the two.

I’m sure it would go over real well the first time he tried to tell MLB and TV execs the start time of a playoff game had to be delayed 7 hours even though the weather is fine, just because there is a 40% chance of rain 2.5 hours after the game is scheduled to start.
I saw it and heard it, that was his way of whining about support.

He couldn’t handle not being in total control of all aspects of an organization and there’s no reason to believe a major league team would want a micromanager with no pro experience as their manager.

I just hope he doesn’t get a pro job
Nothing about him says that he would like or could handle a pro job.

Those few minutes from Eze hitting the post to Haaland’s goal could be where the title changed hands.

Forest have turned it around with a Gibbs-White second half hat trick. Spurs will be looking for a lifeline from Palace tomorrow.

They could easily institute a limit to the number of times a player can transfer. One freebie and then sit out a year from that point on.
It’s like some of you haven’t been paying attention to anything the last few years.
