The four other clubs in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th go into the pray offs 3rd plays 6th home and away. 4th plays 5th home and away. The winners of those matches reach the pray off final and the winner gets promoted to the PL. As City finished 8th last season we missed out on automatic and the pray-offs.

You said "the sixth pray off spot". So everyone down to 8th must have been in them. Just using what YOU said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very disappointing to finish 6th having been in or around the promotion places pretty much all season. you then replied with: how were we in the playoffs last season. if you disagree with what he thinks on here then its a forum, thats what its here for. But it looks like you are criticising him for typing something with a completely different meaning, then why are you asking him how we were in the playoffs last season, which is a completely different meaning to what he wrote in the first place.

That's why I highlighted a specific section. It wasn't a criticism of him at any point until I mentioned his arrogance in a much later post. Still maybe when I made that light hearted comment it was actually a scathing deconstruction of him and you are the only one who knows what I really meant.

ashton_fan Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 It's early days but from what I've seen we're capable of getting 2nd, Leeds are the only team who have looked better so far and they usually fade near the end of the season. It won't happen though if we keep collecting injuries like we have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that once again I have highlighted a specific section to denote that I was responding to that bit. 5 minutes ago, Simon bristol said: and he was in on it the whole time Well, no. Quite obviously not. Only an utter moron would think that, even in sarcasm (and yes, that is a dig at you for trying to make this into a bigger deal that what was- for the 5th time- a light hearted comment).

Simon bristol Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Luckily now we have all established this was the funniest joke the world has ever seen and next years Edinburgh fringe funniest joke contest isnt even going to be run because it would fade into insignificance compared to the genius that we have just witnessed. i think we would definitely take 6th now if it was offered.

Silvio Dante Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Back on topic... Finishing sixth means in order to get promotion, you need to have 3 good (ok two good and one non disastrous) results against three teams that were better than you over the course of a season. So your chances of completing the job aren’t great. On that basis, with promotion being the aim, and any one of 24 results still being available now, I don’t take finishing 25% of the way down the table as what we should take if given now. Different question if we’re 13th in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Do I think Swansea and Charlton will be in top 6 in 10 games time, probably not. Could we stay in there until may, too early to say as I don’t think we are one of the better teams in this league I would take top 6 now but who knows, we could surprise ourselves and get top 2 providing we don’t continue losing players to injury and we don’t flip into a long run of defeats Forest, Reading, Fulham, Leeds look good sides based on games so far this season WBA will be around the top 6 again so we will see but lots of twists and turns to be had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d like to think so however if January 2008 and 2018 are anything to go by when we have been in great positions in this league then I wouldn’t hold my breath..
