Not being a downer (if you noticed I even stopped posting about Asotasi) but what these kind of posts do, is they tend attract trolls and other lets say other less desirable posters.

This board full of trolls brings this board down, I'm not going to be all dictorial and stop people posting topics i diagree with, like you I have an opinion and unlike you it is me that tidies it up when it goes silly.

Post whatever you like within the AUP I'm cool with anything but don't get upset if I have an opinion on it that differs from your own.

stop bringing negativity down on the parade yed.

I dont think we will, we may match it but it will be very difficult to beat that run! I just cant believe the turn around for us this season and hold TS in higher regard now than I ever have, which I thought impossible!

Wouldn't it just be 'all' if London came in and spoiled our little party?

But - fundamentally - the run-in is horrible.
We play all the top sides week after week - with the CC in the mix as well and then (hopefully) reach the play offs where we have to play the top sides again. And on top of that there's the pressure of keeping the longest winning streak we've had in SL going.
We're simply not good enough or strong enough to win all of that lot - no side is. That's why there's only 2 points separating the top 5.

So it's a matter of how we react when things start to go against us.

Will we win silverware this year?
Possibly but for me not 'probably' just yet.

I agree with most of your assessment here but I wouldn't say the run in is horrible. There are no teams this year that are really going to go down in the hall of legends. Also in terms of league position, the fact that we play the top teams means if we pick up a few wins we gain points over key rivals. We won't go unbeaten but I think we should be aiming to win more than we lose against those other top teams, if we can do that we will go in to the playoffs knowing we are in the mix as contenders.

This is a better position than I thought we'd be as I thought we would just hobble through to the playoffs and then get knocked straight out when we played someone good.

I had the choice of Bronco's at home or paint the living room

Easy call really - reckon TS will rest some of the regulars ?

I only get to 4 or 5 games a year so selfishly I hope not but if it makes us better in the long run then so be it

That's rather public spirited of you.

I'm travelling a massive 12 miles or so just to avoid some gardening, in anticipation of a rest for some, me included, but, still a win and perhaps a glimpse of things to come.

Have a safe trip

My RL watching is over until I get my car fixed, it's in limp mode at the moment and I don't fancy a 40mph drive all the way to Wire

Not a true fan.
