Using the BBC predictor page, I've gone through the games to the end of March (inc 1st April clash between West Brazil and Cardiff)

Again I've tried to be fair, but if this comes true (I wasn't far off last time!) I'll be wetting my pants - 9 points clear of Watford in 3rd with 5 games left!

Watford have to play Brizzle, us and Plymouth over 2 weeks, then have West Brazil and a date with Palace soon after - if they go up having won all of those fair enough! Can't see it though - Stoke and Brizzle can effectively knock them out of the race within 4 days of each other!

I am starting to wet myself slowly with excitement.

And I am not a Pulis lover, but will allow him to touch me wherever he likes if he can 'pull it off' for want of a better phrase!

(PS - excuse the other photos on there - they are our rabble of a Sunday footy team, mainly drunk at various functions - my match reports are a good read though!)

I just did the whole season of the predictor, although obviously some of the re-arranged fixtures are not on there yet. Happy days for us, even when I included us losing at Narrrrrrch and Watford and only drawing at Cov and Colchester.

1 Stoke 46 games 86 points
2 WBA 45 82
3 Watford 45 81
4 Bristol City 46 79
5 Ipswich 45 75
6 Plymouth 46 74

I've just done it fairly as well and I've got Stoke finishing the season on 98 points and a + 273 goal difference!

[Dr Oetcake]

so what is the realistic target for a promotion berth? 82?

[jezzascfc]

As has been mentioned many times over the last week or so, if we got to 85 points that should see us in the top two, unless two of the other top four went on a 10 game winning streak.

Just picture it

Saturday April 19th, the game has been moved to 5.15pm to be on telly

Stoke are playing Bristol City at home

Stoke are clear from Bristol by 3 points, with Watford and Brazil a further 6 and 7 points behind the Potters

A tight, tense game at the packed Brit on a glorious April evening is settled in the 32nd minute when Fuller latches onto a defensive error to evade two desperate tackles before driving the ball low into the bottom corner - the crowd erupts into bliss!

The game becomes compact as both sides struggle to make an impact, until the final 20 minutes as the teams throw the kitchen sink at each other to get the result they desperately crave

The anguish of Stokies everywhere is extended as the injury time board goes up, indicating a further 5 minutes, however the Potters hold on and complete the win

This leaves them 6 points clear with 2 games to go and a much superior goal difference......

(Gosh the thought of it sends a tingle down my spine!)
