We went with Holden and the God of Chaos destroys the planet. Had we given the job to Hughton, the earth would have been hit by an asteroid made of cider that would spread joy across the globe. I blame Mark Ashton aka the God of Trading Players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they actually call one particular Asteroid ‘Apophis - God of Chaos’ it’s gives you an idea of its importance to us on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herta Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 1 in 150,000 chance of hitting our promotion party at worst. 1 in 530,000 chance by most standards. Daily Mail for you. I’d carry on planning the Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I am of the opinion that it's just not going to happen for us. Promotion from this level. We've managed it twice, and that's it. It's just never going to happen people. By hook or by crook, we are destined to be the one remaining club that "should" or "ought" to have played in the PL never to do so. A combination of unfathomable rotten luck (injuries, refereeing decisions, bounce of the ball), and by our own hand, our own failings (managerial appointments, recruitment etc) will mean that we are forever frustrated (in getting to the top. If that's your dream for this club). We are stuck in one of those agonising dreams where things conspire against you and you are powerless to do anything about it (whilst quibbling for years on here about ffp, selection, formations, tactics and other largely irrelevant stuff). Only we never wake from this dream. It just goes on. I was reminded of this last week when The Times football pages listed the 14 clubs that were in the third tier in 1992/3 that have since gone on to reach the PL (and one 4th division club. Whilst we were in the second tier of course). I was away for a few days but could not get away from The Times taunting me with this, and we cannot get away from the FACT! that not every club will achieve promotion from this level. And I cannot get away from the rather sombre thought that it just is not ever going to happen for us. Now we wake up to yet more injury woe. Not that the PL is particularly enticing, or the be-all-and-end-all, unpleasant entity that it is, but the whole idea of football is to win and finish as high as you can. To achieve something. If you are not in the top division then promotion is the ultimate achievement. It's like Christmas this year - it just isn't happening, and it's better to get used to the idea than keeping on hoping and wishing that it is. Or was. Merry Christmas everyone, and Come on you Reds (see if we can match Lee's 8th place. Once we have safely seen off relegation this season, that is).
