People should just boycott it. Seriously, you could book a luxury all inclusive holiday for 2-3 weeks than a long weekend in NY for the final weekend. I’m going to go ahead and cancel my flight that I’ve booked for the final weekend - pre-rip off price announcements.

We also will face different tactical challenges, for example, we won’t be facing the mid to low blocks nearly as often because we will presumably be used to having ~40% possession. My criticisms of Sakamoto was mostly to do with attacking output, particularly taking players on and so on...

Playoffs will be a complete reset, we were the ‘form team’ last season and we lost to Sunderland who’d effectively binned off half the season. Southampton have had a massive push to get to this point, credit to them. They actually haven’t beaten any of the teams currently in the playoffs this...

Elsewhere, I’ve said Grimes is a better player imo, I just think Louza would be favoured for TOTY.

Their two previous losses are against teams around the relegation zone and they’re playing 3 teams scrapping down there. Millwall lose a lot of games so I’m expecting that they won’t finish the job. The quality isn’t there imo.

My own synopsis is that Ipswich v Boro will be the decider for 2nd place, it turns out it could be Southampton v Ipswich! If Southampton can whittle the gap points going into their tie, its game on. Norwich v Ipswich this weekend has just got a lot more interesting. They’ve left themselves...

There will be players on our books who will do surprisingly well in the Prem. I’ve got a feeling Simms could surpass expectations to be honest. Wright will do alright too imo. We will have to change the way we play and some players will struggle to adapt, some will thrive. FWIW, we will need...

Southampton actually have the form to potentially sneak in the automatic promotion spots. Their GD is only 2 off Boro and 10 from Ipswich. Their run in looks good, full of teams who don’t really have much to play for. Derby and Blackburn at home should be Ws, Ipswich at home is favourable and a...

I thought it could’ve been a random nomination somewhere! If I dug deep enough, I would’ve got 2, maybe 3 names in the spoilers. 2 of the names I’d have been here all night and not got anywhere near!

If Leicester can’t beat Sheffield Wednesday, who can they beat? Looking at their fixtures, they’re gone imo. They’ve got Hull and Millwall at home (two of the best away teams) and they’re away at Pompey and Blackburn. If they can’t beat Swansea at home who are more or less on the beach...

Chris Coleman?! Vik Gyokeres Jarni That’s a few random names to put in the ring.

It’s still on for Saturday but Millwall (away at WBA) and Boro (home v Pompey) need to drop points which isn’t likely imo. We could confirm the title v Blackburn if we beat them and Ipswich drop 4 points v Norwich, Pompey and Boro. Unlikely but we best start supporting Pompey on the side if we...

To be perfectly frank, we also didn’t need to force the issue, particularly with results going our way earlier in the day. A draw was perfectly fine because we have a banker on Saturday that will all but send us up. Torp wasn’t at his best but then again, not many players were, it was a...

Let’s be honest, this whole season has been special. I’ve not experienced anything close to this, even in L1 we were robbed of an authentic title win.

Norwich have an outside shout of playoffs. Putting aside the obvious incentive to win a rivalry game, they need the points to stay in the mix for playoffs. A draw tonight and it’s game on for them. A win either way probably puts them out of reach realistically.
