Quite true. 1 loss at home this season, to Hull in October, a 3-2 that Hull got on top in after Brum went down to 10 men for most of the second half. No losses at home whatsoever last season. Their last loss at home before that came against Cardiff in April of the 23/24 season. Yet for some...

100% you will, at the top too. Who were the 4 that think you'll end up in the playoffs??

So is Fry, who I'd have preferred to see start against you in place of Ayling (who is better for playing the likes of Oxford, though he didn't) as well as Malanda too, so 3 CBs? Kim has certainly mixed it up with us starting FIVE at the back for the first time since he came. He's certainly not...

Strachan also said the best of the best from Scottish football would be able to dominate the championship and was worth splurging a few years of parachute money on. That went well. It's not as if the game being a hoodoo takes anything away from your performance, as some posters on here seem to...

Indeed I did. It's hardly a coping mechanism though as acknowledging you were the side with the better strategy and execution of it on the day isn't an issue. Only if it was would it then be a coping mechanism. If coincidence as you claim, It's quite a mammoth coincidence though, don't you...

Except it's not. Cope would be if we thought we played you off the park and that we'd have won comfortably if it wasn't for the hoodoo. We know that wasn't the case.

The two aren't mutually exclusive you know. With the most recent game as an example, as it's easiest to remember, I can accept you got your tactics spot on against us and executed them better than we did, which in the main, along with the penalty (which was perfectly legit but one of those...

Don't know why either of you would hope for this, given that it's 6 less points you'd get in the Prem, but ok.🤣

We're always wank in our games against you, we're about as likely to get anything from those games as you are at Deepdale (and same for us against Bristol City for that matter, which is why I've already written off the return fixture against them too) it's the other 21 sides' games we have to...

Nowhere near the best side the league has ever seen tbh. Compare us (or even yourselves for that matter) to the likes of Fulham when they went up with Mitro and Co...Not even close.

I imagine because even if we win tomorrow, we're still not likely to finish above you, neither are Ipswich and both of us and Ipswich certainly aren't. And before anyone says "What about Hull, Millwall, even Wrexham...?" Just no. It's not happening.

Leeds did under Bielsa. Wolves, Bournemouth and Fulham did when they went up too. So did Forest and Sunderland look like doing so this year, though tbf the last 2 at least had the HUGE investment you've mentioned. Look at how Leeds are doing this year compared to defending machine-like...

Lose it and we need to win at Portman Road as a minimum, IMHO, with a straight out results scrap in the rest. I've never really considered the title as promotion is far more important, but it's not really a race any more anyway, realistically with the GD we'd have to win our game in hand then...

It's easy for some to forget how good your run towards the end of last season was tbf, are those the stats since Lampard was appointed? Tbh I'm even more surprised that with those games in hand on the sides in 2nd and 3rd we could somehow be 2nd ourselves in this table, even with ballsing it up...

There is a lot of truth in this. In terms of play, we're the most attractive side to watch in the league and are capable of playing football that most of the rest of the league wouldn't be able to match at all. This has been developed with the players we have in mind and is what we're set up...

There always are with the run of results that's happemed recently, not just our results, but for everyone else as well. The rest of the top 8 all winning for the second game in a row is quite a remarkable statistic in itself mind you, but as I've said we're generally a pessimistic bunch, which...

This is true and it's getting slimmer as ALL the top 8 bar us have won for the second game on the bounce. Which as a Boro fan we fully expect.🤣

I get that, the Champioship equivalent of Leicester winning the Prem in that regard. But it would still be shit.😛

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.
