It still would have been better for us if they had lost today. They are title challengers on paper. We want our challengers to lose.

They are automatic challengers not title challengers in my opinion.

nice to see the stats working against Hull for a change

 

[Nick]

Hull miss a sitter

 

[Evo1883]

At this point im not at all worried about millwall

Wed have to have a dire end for them to overtake us imho

On paper they are. Them winning today was the worst outcome albeit with a silver lining

I'm not particularly worried about them. Just don't understand people rooting for them over Hull in today's match up that's all

Lampard out!

Lincoln all but securing themselves promotion to the championship , made up for them .. had a close mate from lincoln who supported them that died .

Sherwood on Sky predicting Ipswich will finish top. (I honestly think this too...) and it'll be between us and Boro for second.

He may be right , but sherwood regularly talks bollocks so theres hope for us yet

 

[Evo1883]

Im actually hoping the fact leicester absolutely have to start winning pulls them through today and they get a point

Would quite like Bradford to go up as well. I remember seasons back in the lower leagues they always bought a decent away following to the Ricoh.

One of the better atmospheres

Not lost against Ipswich in 7 games

 

[jto123]

Everyone continue to say Milwall not a threat, yet here they are

He's saying that only because they are Ipswich, he hasn't got a clue about most things and is robbing a living as a pundit.

Don't Millwall still have to play Boro and Ipswich? If they think they can still overtake them with a win or a point in either it works in our favour?

They were not going to throw in the towel if they had lost today though.

 

[lifeskyblue]

And Leicester go 1 up at Ipswich

 

[HadjiChippo]

Leicester only turn up to do us favours

 

[wingy]

And Leicester go 1 up at Ipswich

To score quite early and still be there is possibly Ipswich to beat themselves.

 

[wingy]

If carlsberg do Saturdays!!
Come on!

 

[Ipad Boro]

I think Cov win, QPR win and Leicester draw today. And then I woke up

QPR would be doing especially well to do so, given that we don't play them until tomorrow, thanks to Sky.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Ipswich equalise.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Ipswich equalise.

Ipswich drop 2pts …

 

[covcity4life]

Fucking get in Leicester! Thank you for helping us on our way to the premier League!! And now...

And the ref TBF.

Why? For not rolling over and handing Ipswich an undeserved penalty in injury time like all his mates?

 

[Evo1883]

That ipswich result is huge for us and boro

 

[Evo1883]

Why? For not rolling over and handing Ipswich an undeserved penalty in injury time like all his mates?

Well said , theyve already had 2x more than us and you combined

 

[David O'Day]

Nice to see my claims of Ipswich going up in the autos had the desired effect.

Tractor shagging twats

Why? For not rolling over and handing Ipswich an undeserved penalty in injury time like all his mates?

Exactly!

A new run of my simulation after today. Today is the day I think we tipped into nailed on champions territory. And now the model thinks Leicester are going down too. Lovely stuff.
