Obviously Cardiff have that 2nd place in the bag, which leaves us in 3rd, then Villa, Boro, and (our biggest fear) Brentford in 6th. Think the final will probably be Villa vs Brentford, with Villa taking the last promotion place

The fat lady isn't even warming up yet Zippy, so it's un-wise to predict anything - this season still has twists left mark my words. All we can do is win our last two and pray those sheep shaggers slip up, as the saying goes..." Many a slip, twixt cup and lip" (Some will have have to google this lolz).

Also don't forget Cardiff have to play Derby away on Tuesday night, so, they're gonna be tired after a Saturday evening game and more importantly Derby will be desperate to get into play off places and will give it their all. Prediction: 2-1 Derby. So, Cardiff remain on 86 points. As for Hull, Cardiff will have to play again only 4 days later and it's another away game with a long tiring journey of 4 hours, so assuming they travel up the day before they will still be tired. Prediction: 1-1 draw. and 1 point gained. Total: 87 points. Fulham play on Friday against relegated Blunderland after a near full week of rest, and with the best will in the world I can't see any result other than a thumping. Prediction: 2 or 3 Nil- Fulham 88 points and we go second. So on to final game. Cardiff play Reading at home and fair do's I'll give them a home win. Final points tally - 90. Fulham play scum Brum and I truly believe we have the calss and motivation to beat them, so 3 points. FFC final tally 91 points. result we go up. Another potential outcome is if both teams draw Fulham and therefore 1 point to each team we would go up on goal difference. One word : logic. Of course we we can still do it we have to believe and so must the lads. Taxi for beach.

Of course we can still do it. Some might think unlikely.....but the stats say we CAN still do it, no matter how improbable. You’re either an optimist or a pessimist, it’s that simple. As I have been clearly saying, in the face of the gloom and doomers....we will finish second. I would point out when I first said we would, we were maybe 10/12 points adrift. Living in hope is not a crime, it’s what comes naturally to a committed supporter.

If someone had said to me back in December after we got beaten by Sunderland that we have a run like we have had and that we would be in the position we are in right now I'd have taken it - end of. Another thought, even if we don't get auto spot and we get beaten in the plays offs then simply I'd say we don't deserve a place at the top table. I just cannot see that happening though as we have a superb squad which is a class above last season and I can guarantee you that any of the teams that would have to face us in the p.o's would be sh*tting more than just bricks I can tell you.

Predictions are of no relevance until after Tuesday's Derby v Cardiff match. The outcome of that game, will surely influence our season. Oh how I regret that last seconds Brentford goal. Without that, I feel that we would have been up already. I really hate that mob.
