I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Well done, Terriers! Never mind just the one goal, they've maximised their game in hand and with the pressure mounting, beating Wolves away is a good win.

I know how it feels as the Seagulls have been in the same situation during several seasons' run in to the last few games.

Hopefully they'll get it rescinded on appeal . It's getting very tight apart from Sunderland who looked doomed.

Yes - the appeal was successful and Niasse is now available for the Southampton match on Saturday, thank goodness. Must admit that even though I thought the Ref's decision was diabolical, I was surprised that the FA have actually overturned it.

Thanks. This one goal margin also affects the goal difference at the end of the season. To put it into perspective we've won 25 matches this season, 22 of those by one goal. Still we're in with two matches to spare.😀

Quite remarkable that Terriers have a GD of 3 and Reading with a GD of 1 are at the top of the table, just behind Seagulls (GD 35) and Newcastle (G 40) who both have double the number of goals 'For' than 'Against'.

Oh dear. Just heard on the lunchtime News that Newcastle and Wet Ham are being investigated by HMRC............undecided

The local fans forum is alive with speculation about possible points deductions for NUFC and how it might affect us. If West Ham are involved then I don't expect any decision against them. They seem to be golden. Remember the Tevez affair?

Yes, it had occurred to me that it could alter the auto promotion stakes or play-off participants. I bet that there are many other teams shaking in their shoes since HMRC must have twigged that there's potentially rich tax takings to be had from the many hundreds of millions circulating in the grey dealings of the soccer 'industry'.

And in addition to the Tevez affair ISTR that Portsmouth were demoted (a whole league ?) for some misdemeanour or other.

Where there's big money to be made big risks are likely.

Phew! We're in the playoffs. It would be better for the nerves if we could win more by more than one goal.

Well done Town! But the playoffs will be no good for your nerves, Rog. 😱

We enjoyed our trip to Wembley, in spite of the dissapointing result, stayed for a few nights at the Club's Denham site, very convenient for London and for Wembley stadium. 

Manchester derby tomorrow night, not optimistic, but fingers crossed.....

I'm hoping for a trip to Wembley Pliers but as you say there's the small matter of the playoffs first. I'm not sure which is worse, being at a match or having to follow on twitter or other media when you can't get to the match. You'd have thought having so many close games would train the nerves but it doesn't seem to work like that.

Ah well Up The Terriers.
