    Roll up roll up guys and gals. Its the Barnsley Profit Academy sweepstake. Place your bets on the exact minute our inevitable monumental, not previously seen on a park pitch, could only be made more slapstick if you were to introduce a unadvisabley ill balanced pot of paint on some disheveled ladders and a runaway grand piano type mistake will happen. Before making your bets, please allow time for us being aif decent for half an hour, dare i say it, the better team.
    Im going for the 35th minute, Mads gets caught out after a flying anvil just misses him but gets caught out by a watery custard pie.
    Sorry. If u dont laugh youll cry.

    Made a similar comment about the Boro game. I went for the 28th minute but we did better than I thought and went error free for a whole 54 (I think) minutes.
    One day we might manage a whole 90 but I’m not holding my breath.

    You are a hopeless optimist. We will have gifted Hull their first goal well before 30 minutes.

    I'll go for 12 minutes.

    We need to do it like horse racing. Hull need a minus two goal handicap. We need to take the blinkers off our back four and reduce the weight the front two are carrying. If we do that we might get past the 6th minute and I think it could be a dead heat.

    Prize for Woodrow (in the sheepskin noseband) best turned out player.

    I’ll go for 90+(n-1).

    n = number of added minutes. The score at the time will be Barnsley leading by 1 goal.

    I've been absolutely convinced that we'd win the last two games. I reckon we'll get a pasting tomorrow. Reverse psychology.

    -2 goal handicap - thats optimistic - they scored 4 against Preston this week

    If we get a 4 goal start we might just hang on for a draw - though I wouldnt bet on it

    Im going for first comedy goal to Hull on 15 minutes after am overhit back pass is goal bound so Radliger in trying not to handle it glances it into the net off his head
