Imagine logging in on here when your team are playing at home. Not gone?

Theyre all starting to stay away now , thousands of empty seats today

I do think the handball rules are an ass. Accidental should hold much more prominence than it does.

The Targett one was unfortunate because there was no deliberate intent, but as the law stands, it's handball all day long. His arms were well away from his body.

It needs looking at by the governing bodies further for sure.

But if the ball hadn't gone out of play after hitting his hand it might have ended as a goal for us. There has to be a set of defining rules as to what constitutes a foul, and there was no legitimate reason as far as I can see why Targett's arm was raised like that, he wasn't jumping, he was attempting to stop a cross into the box, deliberate or not it was a foul.
Sorry about the picture quality, if you look on Sky Sports, 3 minutes 45 you get a better view, he's even looking at the ball as it hits his hand.

Loving the Norwich fans singing " You're going down " at Leicester

 

[Chris1987]

Two divisions between us next season

Thank god we’ve got some history ⚽️

You mean the cheating history obviously

Are you logged on?

Now, if only WBA can win at Oxford this afternoon . . .

I wouldn't normally cheer for them but another nail in Leicester's coffin would be nice.

 

[Ipad Boro]

Norwich 2 leic 0

Sounds about right.

Leicester's new manager bounce (and the best they've played in months, according to their fans) is now over immediately after they've faced Boro and they've regressed to their mean.

Just in time to face Ipswich next. Jolly good.

Yeah. I am saying it's 100% a penalty

Hull win

Knowing Leicester they will soon be looking for another manager

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Hull win

They've completely broken xg this year...how does that happen lol
They're in the top 3 of the league, and bottom 3 of xg...22 point higher than their xg suggests (38+22=60)

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hull just 3 points off Boro and have a game in hand. Transfer embargo and having designs on autos. Mental.

They're after taking the Revolving Door Trophy from current holders Watford.

Well whoever the poor sod is, if they can get him in before next weekend for another bounce against the Tractor Boys, that would do me.

They would’ve played 1 less than others after this weekend’s matches.

Us too.

Be very happy for Ipswich to fall away.

 

[Lamps]

Us and Hull in the top 2 would be fantastic

No, it would be shit.

The you bit I can live with, you've been top for a huge part of the season and are a good side in every metric.

The other occupant, not so much.

You must admit other than failing to make the top 2 it would be funny considering they were amongst the favourites to get relegated considering the restrictions they are under.

Welcome to the Championship. The most open division in the world and no game is a given.

I get that, the Champioship equivalent of Leicester winning the Prem in that regard.

But it would still be shit.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Imagine a season where cov buy their ground , go to the premier league and leicester get relegated

 

[Evo1883]

Huge pressure on middlesbrough monday now with all them results

Calling it that I think they lose that game. Would be huge for the title race.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If Boro lose it’s one almighty scrap for second place.

 

[Liquid Gold]

If Boro lose it’s one almighty scrap for second place.

If Boro lose that then Ipswich would have to fuck up to not get second

 

[MikeyMoo]

Updated Breadth Chart G/A

Wright 15/1
Thomas-Asante 10/4
Simms 10/2
EMC 7/5
Torp 7/4
Rudoni 5/5
Sakamoto 4/3
Eccles 4/0 ...not many but they were big goals
van Ewijk/Da Silva/Kitching/Thomas/Rushworth 4/14 between them which is nuts

They could lose Tuesday, and then need the game in hand just to catch up to Hull...

It's going to feel very dirty on Monday wanting Birmingham to win.
