Blackpool comparisons again (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 11:25:25
- 15 points required... (NCFC) - Dog, Jan 4, 12:17:11
  - Yes, although we won't win all those games. But looking good (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:26:04
    - We will get enough I think (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 4, 12:34:39
- I'm sure you agree with me but so fucking what ? Seriously, what have (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:06:30
  - So the only reason I think this is interesting is because (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:13:21
    - The only reason all these comparisons with Blackpool started, and even before the season, (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:23:14
      - linkage, soz (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:23:29
        
        One thing is for sure (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:42:49
    - Their first half wasn't as great as their points suggested. (NCFC) - tim berry, Jan 4, 12:15:51
      - this poitn you keep making about it mattering who you beat (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:19:16
        
        the key point about last year's table on Dec 31 (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 4, 12:42:05
        
        As I said before, I don't think that's quite right (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:45:31
        
        The last time 15 points was 18th position 34 points stayed up (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:48:27
        
        Yep and the last time a team had 15 points in 18th (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:44:56
        
        Read your first paragraph back to see how massively important that is ! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:26:42
        
        but it's all captuted in the league table. There's no 'additional benefit' from beating (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:35:15
        
        In the context of this being half way through a season I think it is important (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:41:28
        
        Take a look at the final 2010-11 table, Tricky... (NCFC) - tim berry, Jan 4, 12:41:12
        
        But that's not the right comparison (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:47:53
        
        But they only have the points they have because they all beat Blackpool. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Jan 4, 12:50:39
        
        I was talking about this year (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:53:43
        
        to only *win* 2 or 3 more games (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:54:28
        
        Not guaranteed as 34 points stayed up last time 18th had 15 points (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:49:19
        
        Indeed, not guaranteed. But I don't think the teams at the bottom are as weak this year (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 12:50:40
        
        perhaps, Mind you 6 *Top* sides could push the tally lower (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 4, 12:52:59
        
        6 pointers... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 4, 12:30:40
- Blackpool failed to beat/take points from the teams at the bottom/below them (NCFC) - tim berry, Jan 4, 11:59:45
- Blackpool signed James Beattie this time last year (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 4, 11:44:05
- Here are some tables showing this stage of the season in the previous 10 years: (NCFC) - Dog, Jan 4, 11:36:31
  - I feel like the pool supervisor on The Day Today going through them (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 11:46:08
    - Perhaps a bit more pertinent... (NCFC) - Dog, Jan 4, 11:58:03
    - I mean I could go on. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Jan 4, 11:54:52
      - When was the incident with the pigeon? (n/m) (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 11:56:50
        
        You must love Chris Morris right off (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 12:01:30
        
        I have Brass Eye & The Day Today on DVD. I've watched them a few (too many) times. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Jan 4, 12:03:52
        
        Wrong place entut (n/m) (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 12:01:44
        
        1982 (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Jan 4, 11:58:00
- oddly, their next (21st) game - the start of their collapse - was West Brom away... (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 11:32:11
  - *gulp* (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Jan 4, 11:42:54
    - yes. I wish I hadn't seen that, a bit. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 11:44:05
- Only an ideot would say we're safe (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 11:31:12
  - don't disagree - of course there's no reasno we should follow their footsteps (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 4, 11:36:38
    - But we all know that. When we reach the 40 point mark and are still 10 pts ahead, then (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:10:29
  - We're safe. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Jan 4, 11:34:57
    - Proof (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 4, 12:06:49
    - Ideot! (n/m) (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 11:36:26
      - You're right, we're actually in danger because of what happened to Blackpool. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Jan 4, 11:37:18
        
        Ideot! (n/m) (NCFC) - King, Jan 4, 11:38:17
