Would not getting promotion be a bad thing?

Like how we were a squad of giant mercenaries too.

Giants like Ricardo Gardner, Stelios, JJ, Charlton, Barness, Youri, Nolan and many more.

Not being promoted would be a bad thing of course. We'll miss out on the riches of the Premier League which we so desperately need - Even if we went straight back down again.

It was 'later' in the sense that it was two minutes later as Allardyce had the stats on hand directly as they asked him about Souness' comments. One of my fav big Sam moments that: 'What do you make of that moustachioed wanker's comments?' 'Bish bash bosh'.

We're not getting promoted. I'm running the BUPA 10k in London on that day. So we won't be anywhere near Wembley. Fact.

Trouble?
That's the underquote of the feckin century (both this and the one gone). It'll need anti-jinxing on a scale never attempted before.

I can feel them from here, and I'm both married and thousands of miles away. We need to combine that with Dujon's knickers, 2399's digital pants and Monty's well worn but magic kecks to have a chance!

Is this some sort of Bermuda Shorts Triangle sort of thing where lucky pants the world over join forces against optimism? :shock:

I would consider not getting promoted a bad thing . . . it's less than satisfying following every game via BBC text commentary.
