We could be officially promoted on Tuesday night even if Boro win tomorrow.
We will need to win tomorrow and Ipswich will need to lose against Norwich which is quite feasible.
Then Ipswich would need to lose on Tuesday against Portsmouth away, leaving them and Boro with a maximum possible of 87, but they wouldn't both be able to get 87 because they play each other, so in that game what ever the result 87 would be enough to see us promoted.
Millwall can only get 85, Southampton 84, and Hull 83

If we win our next 2 games against Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn and Ipswich don't win either of their next two we would be Championship champions.

There's plenty of permutations. Ipswich have 7 games to play and are 12 points behind us, so 4 wins from 7 just to catch us up on the points we already have. We should beat Sheffield Wednesday. That would mean that they would need 5 wins from 7 just to catch us up.

We have Sheffield Wednesday H, Blackburn A and Portsmouth H next 3 games. If we win all 3 they would need to win all 7 to finish level on points with us. So if they lose to Norwich we need a maximum 2 wins and a draw to celebrate the title at home to Portsmouth.

If Ipswich draw their next 2 games it would put them on 74 points with 5 games to go. If we win our next 2 games we would be on 90 points. That's 16 points ahead of them so it would confirm us as Champions.

Or we could chill out and wait until it happens. Lots of wet knicker twisting going on.
