Anything can appear to be proved by statistics.  I suspect most people would be influenced by the direction from which we had reached 4th place, on the way up or dropping down, and how the team was performing.



Yeah the problem is everyone looks at such short time horizons and draws massive conclusions. We were top of the form table a few weeks ago, now we've had a few bad results. You will always get short winning sequences and short losing sequences in any game of chance like football. But the bookies have us as third favourites, they have modelled the rest of the season objectively which fans don't do.

Easy question Rob
Do you have a bet on Town to go up ??


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Nope, didn't fancy the odds at the start of the season and I don't fancy the odds now. I bet on Woking to go up at the start of the season, and Luton in League 2 to win the league.

It's a loaded question because apart from Barnet everyone in the division is more likely not to get promoted than they are to get promoted according to the bookies . So if you are hedging your bets the answer is no, but it would be for everyone else too! But we are third favourites, which is an improvement on the start of the season when we were fourth favourites. I'd have taken the league table now if you had offered it in July without a moment's hesitation.


Apart from getting in a proven manager and a centre forward who always would score a lot of goals in a top team, what have barnet done to deserve their runaway favourite tag?

Our away form and the odd win at home should just about see us finish in the play offs but unless performances drastically improve someone will brush us aside in the semis like Newport did

theres no way ANY chairman at ANY club would sack their manager at the point we are now. I know its really hard for some of you to comprehend because of the football we are playing ( yes i'll readily admit we are boring as intercourse) but for 3-4 months, cant we all, try and raise the positivity levels somewhat, starting with saturday against barnet

If the Chairman had seen a manager continue to fail every January for the last 3 seasons playing the most mind numbing boring football ever then yes I would.
I'm amazed Fenty never told Hurst in the summer that if the standard of football and enterainment didnt improve he'd be gone
