Thread | Getting to the play offs
at 22:24 25 Feb 2026
We've achieved phase one of getting to 'best of the rest' 7th place but with Millwall, Ipswich, Hull and Wrexhm all in form, making that step into the top 6 is going to require consistency and patience.
The beginning of April sees us play Ipswich at home then Wrexham away and we still need to be within striking distance by then.
Interesting Hull play Portsmouth on Saturday but then face their three play off colleagues in successive games.
I think we can get to 6th but one of the 4 immediately above us is going to need a dip while we don't have one.
Come on Tonda - you can do it!

We had a great time. Bought seats late in the centre of the Itchen which turned out to be padded, walked unchecked into the hospitality areas at half time and then exchanged a few words with Joe Tessem on the way back to our seats.
And then 5-0 ! All good. |

Here you go Jelly, a list of the remaining absolutely monarchies in the world...
Brunei
Eswatini
Oman
Saudi Arabia
Vatican City
United Arab Emirates
Which one do you think you would favour?
Or if you prefer an autocracy with a more modern twist; how about:
North Korea
Eritrea
Afghanistan
Any of these tempting for you?
Or are you simply waiting for the kingdom of heaven? |

His results are all the more impressive given that this is his first senior role.
And also for someone who comes across as pretty quiet and undemonstrative, he really seems to have galvanised the team. It's never an easy job to do this but even more so with such a recent history of failure behind them both in the PL and in early days of this season.
I would love to know how the players view him. |

Hindsight about the past is one thing. What I don't understand is those who still seem to doubt him in terms of the future.
That makes no sense to me at all - especially after run of absolute no-hopers we have had in charge in recent years. |

I quoted exactly what you said.
And as for a monarchy being more visible. You mean like Andrew's behaviour that is only now, years after the event, being revealed under the scrutiny of the courts and, particularly, the US Congress?
What utter tosh. |

I completely agree.
And your 'has been who knows it all' comment made me thing of Juric's time at the club. Am I being unfair, but did he improve anything while he was here?
Compare his impact to Tonda's - absolutely chalk and cheese. |

I just disagree with this.
Look at Tony Benn. Pretty 'hard' left in his thinking but he was also about the exercise of power, how people are given it, how we get rid of them etc.
Anyone in power - i.e. Blair - is going to sometimes have the power go to their heads, but fundamentally what he did was held to account with the enquiry in the Iraq War etc.
We have independent judges, a free press, parliamentary scrutiny etc etc all trying to hold people to account. It's never perfect but it's there. |

That's a fair point about the far left. The Bolsheviks weren't known for their liberalism. |

My kids have both been away so I haven't been since the Portsmouth home game.
Late decision but we're going tonight. |

Your criticism of Starmer and Blair are based precisely on those ideas of liberalism that I mentioned.
You seem to value freedom of speech and the rule of law. These are liberal values.
Fascists don't give two sh!ts about them. |

If you prefer monarchy to parliamentary democracy, good luck to you.
The idea that monarchy holds 'more accountability than our present system' is one that I think you will have to work hard to justify.
I think you struggle to see the wood for the trees. |

How about parliamentary democracy instead of monarchy?
You give the impression that it’s all the same to you. |

I'm guessing that you must be a JW or member of some similar sect that considers everyone doomed who doesn't embrace JC and the precise word (as you see it) of the Bible.
Would explain your contempt of anything that might be considered progressive in this world. |

Fascism is indeed the opposite of liberalism, but liberalism wasn't invented as a tool of oligarchs.
Freedom of speech, thought and expression for all.
The rule of law.
Democratic institutions.
Does on anyone on this forum have an issue with such liberal principles? Even you, Jelly?
Fascists do. They believe in conformity to norms, rigorously enforced by powerful authoritarian leaders, usually to the benefit of one favoured national or other group. Fascists think that that's the best way. |

I think Peter Drury might be AI.
Every time someone shoots he shouts their full name. Every single time. And he always tries to get the full name in. And always with a ridiculously excitable intonation.
Once you've noticed it, that's every game he commentates on ruined.
He's the second worst Premier League thing after VAR. God only know how he has become Sky's lead commentator. Unless he's AI, as I say. |

Steve Cram at the Winter Olympics is appalling. He’s bad enough for athletics but his Curling commentary is toe curling. He can’t shut up and nothing he says is of any interest, as is clear as soon as the experts with him speak.
And he absolutely loves using technical Curling terms as if he’s itk. It’s embarrassing. |
