Tenuous reasons that WE WILL PREVAIL

Although he may not have finished the season as leading scorer, the last time we had a left back who even approached this feat was in 2010-11 with Andy Sandell (although Rendell [pen] eventually surpassed him)

We finished 3rd (applied on a multiplied Points Per Game basis over 46 games).

And promotion beckoned.

It is a sign.

More 100% statistically significant omens please.

  • I don't have any statistics to back me up, but after the journey we have been on, I simply believe we will overcome. I am well aware defeat is possible, but unless and until that happens, I believe that these players, this manager, this club, will find a way to emerge victorious. It is amazing to think that a book is being written, literally, about this season, and though conceived at a low point, when the season ahead looked dark and desperate, this book has instead catalogued and described the emergence and rising up of an unheralded group of heroes, with a story so utterly incredible that one would think it came from the pen of a master of fiction, instead of someone observing true events surrounding a little club in Buckinghamshire.

    Can we lose? Surely it is possible. Will we win? I think so, hope so, and believe so.

  • How tenuous do we want?
    Never lost at Wembley on a Monday, never lost to Oxford at Wembley... etc

  • I'll be wearing my lucky pants on Monday if that's any help.

  • A commendable gesture @Kim_il_Swan.

  • On my way over to the ground on matchdays I look out for random sightings of swans, which obviously always herald a victory.

  • Seeing the bus with Gareth's name on it is a good omen for me when I walk to the match.

  • I drunk two bottles of Rebellion Red during each leg of the semis - two reds in the first leg, two Wycombe goals in the second. I've got two bottles left. What'll it be tomorrow?

  • We also get promoted when there is a club that feels mortally WRONGED and CHEATED that we have STOLEN our place at their expense.

    remember Shrewsbury, everyone?

    Posh are the new Shrews. Cheers Darragh.

  • I drank a crate of these last night and dreamt about Scott Kashket scoring the winner at Wembley

  • I saw the legend that is Keith Ryan in Flackwell today.

    It has to be an omen!

  • Did anyone see the play-off trophy at Cressex Filling Station today?

  • No but I saw a very average pointless trophy. Coveted apparently.

  • Tattoo parlours reopen today. @micra have you booked your slot yet?

  • Hair removal takes priority I think @Lloyd2084. I’m too old for the hippie look. Will get a free quote tomorrow.

    But, yes, I’d better give some thought to the tattoo situation. @BlueBoy is going to hold me to it; he sits behind me in the Frank Adams stand and represents a genuine threat. I have done a little preliminary research into potential parlours and I think Fox Tat will get my vote. I like the fact that they appear to specialise in unusually faint (barely visible) artwork. Also, for the last few months we have had regular evening visits from a family of foxes.
    I feel remarkably calm.

  • Oxford might feel claustrophobic in a complete stadium?

  • oh come now, surely Ainsworth's benchmark is THE SHIRT THAT WON GERMANY THE 2014 WORLD CUP FINAL?

  • Just had a call from Saint Martin, that really is a happy omen.

  • Amazing, I love that man.

  • He’s going to be on Quest tonight

  • As neutral as ever no doubt!

  • I mentioned Old Speckled Hen ale somewhere but I can’t remember where and that’s before a drop has passed me lips. For some reason I associate it with Cornwall because that’s where I’ve drunk most of it on draught.

    Hyever, I see that it is now brewed in Bury St Edmunds - not a million miles away from Bill T, I think. Well, same county at least. Another omen.

    Oh, and I looked out of the kitchen window a little while ago and one of the fox cubs is lying right next to the mower I want to use!

  • Is it not Greene King? Who used to sponsor the terrace. Another omen?

  • I can hear seagulls. Seagulls are birds. Swans are also birds. We're going up lads.

  • Old Speckled Hen used to be brewed by Morlands an Oxfordshire brewery. Not sure if it’s a good omen or not that it’s been hijacked to Suffolk

  • @Jonny_King said:

    I can't hear the emu now though!

  • I just found this in a cupboard.

    Oxford die.

  • I do like our centenary merchandise. Throws everyone when I tell them we celebrated out centenary and 125th ‘birthday’ 28 years apart

  • That sounds very vaguely familiar @bookertease, why was that?
