Osbourne predicted incorrectly - sorry. 19:57 - Feb 21 with 15337 views | Osbourne | 3 points have been taken from the last 42 points available. Not quite what Osbourne, and I am sure other Pool followers were looking for. 14 FIXTURES REMAINING : Brentford - away - (0-4 loss, 0 points gained, 22points, league position 24th) Wigan - home - (1-3 loss, 0 points, 22 points, league position 24th) Birmingham - away - (0-1 loss, 0 points, 22 points, league position 24th) Sheffield Wed - home - (0-1 loss, 0 points, 22 points, league position 24th) STOP PRESS : Osbourne can only alter his predictions so many times! The equation now is Pool need 8 wins out of 10. "The moon can now move out of Pool's quarter" just 2 more times. Bournemouth - away - (0-4 loss, 0 points gained, 22 points, league position 24th) STOP PRESS : 9 matches now left. Would 46 points be enough? Charlton - home - (0-3 loss, 0 points gained, 22 points, league position 24th) BLIMEY : POOL NEED 8 ON THE BOUNCE NOW (When the going gets tough, the tough get going!) Leeds - home - (1-1 draw, 1 point gained, 23 points, league position 24th) LAST 7 NOW - "JUST GO OUT AND ENJOY YOURSELVES" - "NO PRESSURE" - OSBOURNE SAYS : "NO PRESSURE? - WHAT ARE THESE GUYS ON?" Bolton - away - (1-1 draw, 1 point gained, 24 points, league position 24th) LAST 6 NOW - "If Rotherham beat Brighton on Easter Monday, Pool are gone." ________________________________________________________________________ OSBOURNE PREDICTED WRONG! Pool relegated. Reading - home - (1-1 draw, 1 point gained, 25 points, league position 24th) Ipswich - away - (3-2 loss, 0 points gained, 25 points, league position 24th) Derby - away - (4-0 loss, 0 points gained, 25 points, league position 24th) Fulham - home - (1-0 loss, 0 points gained, 25 points, league position 24th) Cardiff - away - (3-2 loss, 0 points gained, 25 points, league position 24th) Huddersfield - home - (0-0 at half time, can Pool be relegated with an unfinished match?)

To be honest you can't resist such positivity. So for sheer optimism and the time thinking about it ... One of those thumbs up thingys. Not a chance of course but it still made me smile. | | | |

Osbourne's predictions for the Pool road to safety on 20:56 - Feb 21 with 9572 views | PNENIL | So that's 4 wins on the trot then seeing off Charlton , Leeds, Bolton and Reading. Maybe go for a double of us staying up and England winning the cricket world cup? I like Osbourne's blind optimism , the fact that he refers to himself in the third person and that his posts are polite but a little bit loopy. | | | |

So someone is predicting 8 wins from 14 games yet so far this season we have managed just 4 wins from 32 games. I don't even think Lee Clark would predict that. | | | |

Osbourne's predictions for the Pool road to safety on 23:14 - Feb 21 with 9528 views | Curryman | Well Osbourne, I should leave fungi picking and eating alone if you don't know what you're doing. There are roughly 200 species of mushroom that can be classified as ‘magic’. Their common ingredient, psilocybin, induces mind-altering effects by forming new neural pathways in the brain. This can result in euphoria, hallucinations, and changed perception of the passage of time. It can also induce nausea and panic attacks. On second thoughts send me some it may take my mind off the current mess we're in. | |

He might have meant the battle of Stamford Bridge,Yorkshire in 1066. It'd be a lot easier on here if we were represented by a decent history teacher or two. | |

All corrected to Bradford City with explanation. Get your laughs in at Osbourne's expense quick. Osbourne of course will have the last laugh come the Huddersfield game at Bloomfield Road in May. The motto is "fight until the bitter end, you might just be surprised." It is going to get a lot, lot tighter than one thinks. Historian or not. Osbourne the Historian and educator, yes I like that. A proffhssional edukater, that sounds about right!!! | | | |

Osbourne's predictions for the Pool road to safety on 12:08 - Feb 22 with 9370 views | TheOldKopRoof | We did the maths a few weeks ago, We now have a win % of around 10% over the past year. We need to now convert that to over 57. Including your prediction of 4 on the bounce Failure to win on Tuesday, a pretty much nailed on certainty, makes it a 62% win ratio needed. Relegation. Prepare for it. | |

I don't think anyone thinks we're doing anything but going down but as they say, football is a funny old game, and teams have escaped from this kind of predicament before. The one snag with that, is that it's usually a side playing well below their capabilities who suddenly hit form. I'm not sure that we're better than getting a point at Blackburn, something were at our best to get yesterday. Even then, it's better to be optimistic than pessimistic, so all power to Osbourne, and let's hope he's right. | | | |

Quite so. I've been criticised in the past for too much optimism, but even I can't see us escaping this one. | | | |

Despite Scratcher's "blue" mood! Pool are still on course via Osbourne's "escape prediction route." Brentford away was down as a 0 pointer. 8/13 now. There are some real winnable games in there. I don't like the expression "6 pointers," as 3 points is 3 points, but Wigan, Charlton, Bolton and Fulham are big movement games. 6 pointers? A little like giving 110% - all one can give is 100%. Did no commentators study maths at school? Pool boys can still do it - minus Jeffrey Rentmeister though now. He got them to Brentford OK though! | | | |

Bert and Ernie, Thanks for noting my 100% record. Think you will find the 100% record is still in tact come 5pm Saturday. Sweating a bit on O'Hara's fitness, "Stocky, quick over the first 10 yards and a left foot like silk." However, I understand the massage people have been at the rib cage, so I am confident he will play. Essential in the middle of the park, sprays the ball around like a reincarnated Liam Brady. It's how I see it. Think I'll be proved right come early May. I just hope we don't go down on goal difference. | | | |
