WE COULD STILL DO IT.
Manchester United 8 Arsenal 2. Manchester United 1 Manchester City 6. Leeds United 3 Nottingham Forest 7. These things happen. Fortunately, ours is an all-electric household so I couldn't put my head in the gas oven. But we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again. On the positive side, four away games, four clean sheets! A bit of a change from earlier on in the season. It would appear that as in League One two years ago, most teams do not want to get promoted. Despite all our travails, we are still just three points behind the Play-Off positions and we have Reading, Blackpool and Cardiff away from home - all six-pointer challenges. The points tossed away against Forest and West Ham, make the challenge difficult but we could still do it if we are all Marching on Together.

They have nothing to offer the English game and it would mean that the two medium-sized clubs would be pushed down to a lower level just so that the English money could be exported to Scotland.
