    Well yes, but not to claim it's not awful anyway, lets not forget Forest were docked 4 points so with victory at Burnley could still get to what is effectively 36 points.

    Forgot all about that.  West Ham finished with 35 points in 2009/10 but WBA did their last day survival act in 04/05 to survive with 34 points.

    Surely the bottom 3 this season have between them amassed the lowest points total for the relegated teams and Nottingham Forest must also be on course to survive with the lowest points total since football started in 1992.

    Good question:

    2023/24 with a game to go - Luton 26, Burnley, 24, Sheffield Utd 16 = 66
    2022/23 - Leicester 34, Leeds, 31, Southampton 25 = 90
    2021/22 - Burnley 35, Watford 23, Norwich 22 = 80
    2020/21 - Fulham 28, WBA 26, Sheffield Utd 23 = 77
    2019/20 - Bournemouth 34, Watford 34, Norwich 21 = 89
    2018/19 - Cardiff 34, Fulham 26, Huddersfield 16 =76
    2017/18 - Swansea 33, Stoke 33, WBA 31 = 97
    2016/17 - Hull 34, Middlesbrough 28, Sunderland 24 = 86
    2015/16 - Newcastle 37, Norwich 34, Aston Villa 17 = 88
    2014/15 - Hull 35, Burnley 33, QPR 30 = 98
    2013/14 - Norwich 33, Fulham 32, Cardiff 30 = 95
    2012/13 - Wigan 36, Reading 28, QPR 25 = 89
    2011/12 - Bolton 36, Blackburn 31, Wolves 25 = 92
    2010/11 - Birmingham 39, Blackpool 39, West Ham 33 = 111
    2009/10 - Burnley 30, Hull 30, Portsmouth 19 = 79
    2008/09 - Newcastle 34. Middlesbrough 32, WBA 32 = 98
    2007/08 - Reading 36, Birmingham 35, Derby 11 = 82
    2006/07 - Sheffield Utd 38, Charlton 34, Watford 28 = 100
    2005/06 - Birmingham 34, WBA 30, Sunderland 15 = 79
    2004/05 - Crystal Palace 33, Norwich 33, Southampton 32 = 98
    2003/04 - Leicester 33, Leeds 33, Wolves 33 = 99
    2002/03 - West Ham 42, WBA 26, Sunderland 19 = 87
    2001/02 - Ipswich 36, Derby 30,  Leicester 28 = 94
    2000/01 - Man City 34, Coventry 34, Bradford 26 = 94
    1999/00 - Wimbledon 33, Sheffield Wed 31, Watford 24 = 88
    1998/99 - Charlton 36, Blackburn 35, Nottingham Forest 30 = 101
    1997/98 - Bolton 40, Barnsley 35, Crystal Palace 33 = 108
    1996/97 - Sunderland 40, Middlesbrough 39 (docked 3 points), Nottingham Forest 34 = 113
    1995/96 - Man City 38, QPR 33, Bolton 29 = 100

    That's all the seasons with 3 teams going down.  Even if all 3 of the bottom 3 this season could win on the last day they'd still be short of the next lowest season.

    Forest are on 29 points currently which will be the lowest total to avoid the drop. Even if they get to 32 points it'll still be the lowest!

  3. Was one of the lucky few who was at the Aberdeen recording of A View from the Terrace last night. Was stunned to see another fella in a Cowdenbeath top. Anybody who posts on here?

    There's not a chance in hell Phil had started a pie business. He's obviously inherited it or runs it. Twice now he's been in the tasting room and delivered a shite product - thankfully for him the other team made an even bigger arse of it. But how can someone in the food industry be so bad at getting flavours correct? 

    I'm hoping anyone other than the girls win tbh. Dislike the Northern lass less but I really can't stand the Tory. 

    Correct - sure it's been in his family for generations.

    Phil has won.

    Absolutely correct

    Part of senior fitba ma fuckin hoot

    Lets just say its middle o dec and utterly baltic & its a pub day with scores on

    Not in this Lowlife League..

    Lucky if you get them next day just another example and i assume you also need to Qualify for the Scottish cup...

    We must not go there as we will never return like majority of our support...

    Yer Mithers Pride🇾🇪

    Well no you enter in the first round. League 2 enter in the second round.

  6. Phil is still in because he has an excellent business.  He's making decent profits and won a big pie award in the last few weeks.  He's been utter pish throughout so he surely is out next week or wins the whole thing.

    Utterly pathetic from him this week re the price drops. 

    No loss losing Raj but I was warming to Maura.  

  7. Also think it was 100% set up for Noor to be fired. One team gets a fun campervan to advertise and the other gets a much harder to promote drivable stall basically. 

    Noor forced to be team leader by Sugar for the harder vehicle.

    Diddies still in:

    Folusa, Maura and Phil.

    Decent contestants:

    Tre, Rachel, Flo

    Need a good business plan:

    Paul, Steve, Raj

    Just been reading about your reunion day guys. Really cracking stuff to see Cowdenbeath getting back on their feet and that looks an infinitely positive initiative. The fans getting behind the club deserve a lot of credit and I think paired with Berwick Rangers being in town this weekend there's a serious chance you could break your Lowland League attendance record of 194. Keep up the great work in your spinetingling battle for 9th and we won't see you next year! :thumsup2

    Wow possibly the funniest post in Pie and Bovril history.  Keep up the good work and good luck for your upcoming school exams 👍

    Is there still plans for a fan day or something for the Berwick game? I am not local these days and not on social media so I will probably have missed any chat about it.

    Yeah there's been a push for a big crowd for that game.

    Do they mention the corporates by name? Can't say I've ever remembered if they have so pretty crap advertising. 

    Nah they always mention the names.  Fairly sure they've had ASDA and other shops in the past.

    No Viaplay probably likely next season 

    Surely we can just vote in favour of Colt teams in the league and guarantee our place in the cup like last year?

    One element which I think could potentially provide some genuine clues would be if the Traitors were incentivised to make the missions fail. Maybe it's two separate prize funds, one for if the Traitors win and one for if the Faithfuls win, and then you'd have to see the Traitors trying to strategically f**k up aspects of the tasks to make themselves money, without being seen as suspicious.

    See I think that's a good idea.  There's £10K available for each task and anything not won goes into the Traitors pot.  

    Think John Kearns on Taskmaster but slightly more subtle.

    I like him in WILTY, very quick witted, but dislike his tv show, playing the idiot, and constantly making smart arse one liners. Which admittedly is what he does in WILTY, but it feels more natural as it's on the spot and not rehearsed, just gets annoying in rehearsed, scripted shows. His appearance replacing Bob was just horrifically bad though, felt awkward and didn't work at all. Would've been far better bringing Fergal Sharkey in for the episode, or even Charlie (can't remember his surname), who also made a guest appearance.

    Off topic for the gone fishing chat.  Was listening to Richard Osmans "The Rest is Entertainment" podcast and he revealed that sometimes the editors actually have to add a second of silence before Lee Mack comes in with some one-liners because they think it will come across as too quick and people might think it's scripted!
