the bloody ground was empty nearly, maybe all at home watching, it was pissing down tbf hahahahaha

It was a poor turn out no doubt. But definitely nothing to do with the weather it was drizzle not pissing it down.

Fair play to Portsmouth fans who at the start of the game make this jolly little tune sound like a rampaging war cry.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Secure the title against Pompey, lift the trophy against Wrexham, lose 4-0 at Watford.

What a time to be alive!

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Furlong for me followed by Clarke, Hurst I could could punch over and over without getting tired

Better check your spelling. You don't want to be accused of threatening our only surviving '66 World Cup hero.

Now I’m going to have to listen to Moonlight Shadow on my way to work

Secure the title against Blackburn. Confirm the title against Portsmouth. Let's do it with plenty of time to spare.

The original match had been postponed twice ,so guess many gave it a miss

 

[Hybridtheory]

Win it at home Vs Pompey..that'll do

 

[TomRad85]

I fell asleep early last night but honestly the Ipswich rimmers on here never learn do they. They are not the team you think they are, they are not a team that was ever suddenly going to win 7 in a row. They actually need to be looking over their shoulders slightly rather than worrying about us at the top.

 

[covcity4life]

A draw at Blackburn wouldn't be the worst result so I'm glad we can now afford it

That said I don't want the home pressure of needing to beat Wrexham to win title either

1 win and title is ours. I'm actually not even fully convinced we'd need that, maybe 2 draws. Either way I'm sure we'll get more anyway.

I think Ipswich get 84 max.
Confident we'll win Friday anyway.

I'm actually hoping Southampton catch them. To be clear, I don't like either, but I'm more convinced Southampton would win play offs anyway than I am Ipswich would. I think they'd flap it.

Ipswich haven't really gone on a long winning run like us or Southampton and haven't always been good away from home

Who??

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

If Boro get a point or more there on Sunday then race for 2 nd place will be interesting.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

can’t see ipswich getting more than 87 points. think 1 win is enough

 

[clint van damme]

Same, be nice for another non-parachute team to go up.

 

[TomRad85]

Its going to be absolute carnage if Boro win that. Would be a great watch for a fan of a team that's already pissed the league, for example.

 

[Gint11]

Can’t stand Ipswich or Soton. I hope neither go up but loving the fact they lost last night. Bet they thought they’d win easy

Pompey were excellent second half

 

[Gint11]

Just shows what should happen on paper doesn’t always. We found earlier in the season poorer teams raised their game against us because we were top. Never easy in the championship and no gimmes

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

If Boro, Millwall and Southampton all win at the weekend you’d have 3 teams on 75 and a team on 76 with 3 to play (4 if you’re Ipswich). Would be a cracking end to the season in that case.

Hopefully pompey beat Leicester and they are safe because genuinely wouldn’t fancy us playing them whilst they’re scrapping like that. We were shit against sides like that at the end of last year.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Definitely, when was the last time the top 2 teams that went up were not parachute clubs ?

Pompey v Leicester on Sat if Pompey win that game they are more or less safe.

 

[Essexrobbie]

Boro playing Southampton would be their worst nightmare, cos there's no way they'd beat them over two legs and even end up missing out on a Wembley visit. I'm just loving their demise after all their 'bottled it' accusations leveled at us over Christmas.

 

[jas365]

So 4 points from the next 2 guarantees we’ve won the league BEFORE the Wrexham game ? but we’ll beat Wrexham just to make sure

We need to be on 91 at FT against Wrexham to lift the trophy after the game as it stands now.
If Ipswich draw on Sat we need to be on 89, if they lose we need 88.

 

[clint van damme]

Not sure. Someone has posted it but I cant remember who it was

 

[JSL]

Terry Devlin sounds like a dodgy bloke in the pub

A bloke called Terry Devlin used to play for my dad's old Sunday league team. And he fitted that description!!

Away

Different animal at their place, though. Boro should have thumped them. Leicester are down if they don't win at Pompey imo. We will beat Pompey - confident of that.

 

[Kris_Boro]

Over to you Boro to finish them off now don’t fuck it up

Oh go on then....
