despite what some people on this forum wish for.[/quote]Yes, I''ve read the OP, and all the other posts that followed it.The truth is that whichever way round you shuffle the results, we''d still be on the same points (obviously), and we''d still be playing the same dire football that we have done for most of the season, so in truth the order of the results is a moot point, but the dire football is a constant...
