I was there that day in the North Stand. I got there about 1 o’clock and stood near the back. The stand was heaving and I could hardly move by 2 o’clock. So many fans came in through the turnstiles who couldn’t get into the stands that stewards led them out to sit on the grass all around the touchline. Leeds were the reigning League champions and had a wonderful star studded team. We were on course for the double, but eventually fell just short. 3rd in the league and unjustly losing semi-finalists in the cup. The game itself was a tight goalless draw, although David Johnson came close to scoring. Then of course came the three replays which I listened to on my transistor radio in my bedroom.
Had it been 3 points for a win that season we would have won the league on goal difference from Derby. And had we got through the semifinal against West Ham we would have met second tier Fulham in the final. In the UEFA Cup we were knocked out without losing - on away goals to FC Twente. Very much a what-if season. |

If we look at Valentines Day as the start of our run-in, we had 60 points from 30 games before the Millwall game with 16 games to go. In the reverse 16 fixtures we harvested 40 points. If we matched that over the return games we would get 100 points.
We won 12 of those 16 games, drew 4 and lost 0. The draws were against Huddersfield (A), Rotherham (A), Birmingham (A), Norwich (H). If we match all 16 results and get 100 points we will be in the top 2.
So, adopting a method being used on other threads for comparison to previous seasons, comparing our progress against the reverse fixtures give us this so far:-
Millwall W 3-1, W 0-4. +0 points, 100 point target +0 points
Swansea W 3-2, W 1-2 + 0 points, 100 point target + 0 points
Which means we are still on target for 100 points if we match the remaining 14 games results from earlier this season.
Next game: Rotherham, need to match D 2-2 to stay on target.
I intend to update after each game.

Something like this maybe??
The Sporting Quarter plans in full are for a sports and convention centre that will be a permanent home for the Bristol Flyers basketball team, and also create a flexible venue for conferences, events, concerts and shows that could house more than 5,000 people standing, or between 2,000 and 3,000 sitting.
Around this will be a hotel, a block of 125 flats, office accommodation, stores, a gym, a club museum and a large multi-storey car park |

Absolute nonsense. There were a few boos from the Cardiff fans aimed at the lino who flagged their goal offside, and a few also aimed at the ref. Not coming from the home fans at all. |

I read this and got a bit concerned. Then I looked up who the analysts are that are quoted extensively and form the basis for this article.
They are SVB Leerink who are US Investment Bankers specialising in BioPharma.
A US investment bank advising on whether or not to buy stocks in a non US based pharmaceutical company isn’t likely to be very balanced, and possibly indicates how much of a commercial threat the likes of Pfizer view their rival. |
