Re: Up the Pool (or maybe just not Get Relegated)

A 1-0 win today vaults the Pool into 12th place, at least according to the Live Table. Still only 5 points about relegation, but with 4 games to go and a bunch of teams below them, I'm hoping they are ok. Maybe on 5 points above relegation but only 9 points (and 5 on the GD) from 6th place and the ...
