    I don't think an end of season has been so unpredictable for our safety for a long time - even the last two seasons. This time it seems so much longer and drawn out, and somehow the rewards for staying up could meansignificantlymore to us than before, - and failure - a return to the dark days of scratting around, and the clock being put back years.</p>

    Talk about squeaky squidgy arses. Never felt so loose! I keep saying it's only a game and there are far more important things. But the bog rolls are in, the extra underwear is in the drawer, the fairy non bio is in the cupboard, and the washer is set to boil wash.</p>

    What more can you do?</p>

    It does

    at least for a few weeks there will either be depressing bitterness or glorious relief. </p>

    Come July it'll be a bit less painful or joyous as we assess the challenge in front of us. </p>

    Though for me just seeing oakwell for a long time after the last relegation filled me with a hollow feeling. </p>

    I remember the last relegation in April 2002. Came up to Oakwell to see Tykes v Norwich City. Big crowd there, but massive anti-climax. We went down with a whimper, 0-3, no guts or passion that day. Don't ever want to revisit that scenario.

    From Saturday's showing at Reading we're putting up a big fight. As shown, for me, by Bobby Hassell in particular.

    88th minute at Reading, when under pressure, he put in one ferocious tackle on a Reading forward.

    Its killing me, i have done the predictor countless times and still don't know what will happen to us.
    I just have the feeling that we are doomed, for me i can't actually see us scoring a goal again. If we are playing 1 up front and that 1 is Jon Macken then we are doomed.
