    Right.
    Here goes.
    Since the 25th of Feb when we played Doncaster we have played 4 games and got 8 points.
    Since the 25th of Feb Stevenage have only played 3 games and got 6 points.

    Your gap narrowing stat is based on teams playing a different number of games.

    That seems a little geared towards your argument.

    Like @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey says,wait until after Tuesday and then both teams will have played the same number of games since your initial claim.

    I think you misunderstood what i was getting at, I never said we will overtake Stevenage. I mearly said we could based on Stevenages poor form at the time. Specifically I actually said if
    I have never seem someone get ridden so bad over a hypothetical. I could understand if i said it will happen or if i bet on it but really? Over me saying we could overtake them? Christ on a bike… its borderline sad!

    3 times you claimed we had only played 3 games since the Doncaster game.
    I merely corrected your errors and pointed out that even your hypothetical scenario wasn’t fair as it was based on teams playing a completely different number of games.
    If you don’t like being corrected,check your facts before you persist with them.

    “I merely corrected your errors”
    This isn’t true at all… you said it was “easy” before I mentioned any errors regarding the number of games we and stevenage have played so again what actually was easy? Me saying something could happen but didn't? Again still don’t understand that. As an aside i hope that was not an attempt to deceive and just forgetfulness on your part.

    “pointed out that even your hypothetical scenario wasn’t fair as it was based on teams playing a completely different number of games”
    you do realise i originally made the hypothetical before we played those 4 games right? How can i make an hypothetical now on something Thats impossible?

    Come on northern you can do better than that! That when is not referring to the five games period. That is referring to now to the end of the season.

    i just said “when we overtake” not “when we overtake in the next five games” understand context northern!

    2 games left off your prediction, 7 points behind.

    Whichever moderator edited my post, read the post I replied to and understand the context instead of jumping in with both feet and assuming it was something that it wasn't.

    Cheers.

    Some of the replies you get from the moderators as to why they've moved or altered your posts are funny. Taken way too seriously sometimes.

    I read the original post and couldn't work out why it had been edited?

    1 game left actually, Stevenage have played 4 since then and it wasn't a prediction either - as i have stated before. literaly said "if" many a time. The attempts at WUMing are getting a bit tiresome now.

    you said yourself that we would overtake Stevenage in 5 games... so tiresome now.

    Not sure why the post was edited but I am assuming its to do with autism. if that's the case that's not okay at all. make a passing comment and people use it as ammo on here to belittle and abuse. It would have been swiftly reported. if its something else then fair enough either way from here on out I will pop you on ignore.

    Still think Evans was an abject failure?

    Unless he miraculously turned it around which seems unlikely given that they were in the top 3 nearly all season?

    It's easy with hindsight of course but your biased (imo) outlook now looks very skewed. Evans is the proven better manager at this level and last season he proved it again.

    Stevenage should have won the league, so Evans did fail.

    That's even more daft that the original statement and I never, ever thought I'd say that!

    I guess you can't accept that Evans is not the manager we need, he couldn't even win the league when it was handed to him on a platter by Leyton Orient
