    Championship thread 25/26!

    Newcastle fans welcoming the Saudis was gross, (their team have flown on the plane that was used to transport the Jamal Khashoggi hit squad FFS!). But no more gross that every government in this country since the 50s being balls deep with them. I just don't think football should be expected to...

    While illiberal regimes are being allowed to use football for sports washing then I'd have no obje tion to it. If we could stop it tomorrow then I'd do it, but we all know that's not going to happen. And what are the parameters for acceptable ownership?

    You are entitled to your opinion, and that's fair enough. But Ive said this many times before, if we want to remove malign foreign influences from our society, (and that constitutes a minefield in itself), then great, I'm all for it. But to use the Saudis that you've mentioned as an example...

    I hope we move that far away from the club I grew up supporting that we win a champions league

    Championship thread 25/26!

    If you want to talk about when it all started to go wrong you could probably look at when home teams started keeping all their gate receipts. But I didn't see anyone demanding an equal split of the Preston gate money with the away team. Every major move since then has been designed to make the...

    For context, Boro and Millwall on 2.5. We're the worst of the 4 on 1.5 but obviously we have a decent cushion.

    I'd be all for some of the controls they have in Germany. But it's never going to happen. And when the PL was formed, which we voted for, it lead us to where we are now, so not much point in crying over something we helped to create. I find Wrexhams owners far less objectionable than Man Us...

    Not really relevant, we helped form the PL, we played our part in facilitating everything that followed.

    They're still only 1.66PPG in their last 6 away, and with trips to Norwich, Southampton and West Brom, ( with their newly found bollocks), I don't expect them to keep that up.

    But if you break Ipswichs form down in to home and away they're only at 1.44 PPG away over the season. If they replicate that then they won't hit 88 even if they win all their home games.

    Don't want them to come up because they'll spend and Im not keen on the media love in. But as Ive said before, know a few of their support, (related to some), who were there when they had owners who gave sisu a run for their money so delighted for them. Can think of plenty of clubs with far...

    I disagree sbout Ipswich, though appreciate you're basing that on them having a game in hand. Their April set of fixtures is horrendous, both for congestion, and the difficulty of some of the games they have, I expect them to miss out.

    No ones worrying based on any logical analysis, people are just worrying because they dread us blowing it, even though its unlikely to happen. It's not going to change until we're confirmed promoted.

    Just natural to be fair, I'm both very confident of winning Saturday while also got a nagging worry in the back of my mind. The stress is getting less but it won't stop until we're mathematically confirmed as up.

    As Of Today, Points Needed To Guarantee Promotion

    Looking at that, while ideally I'd like them to draw v Millwall I'd probably prefer them to win than Millwall to win. That would put a massive dent in Millwalls chances and there's no way Ipswich are going through that set of fuxtures without dropping a fair few points. Even Albion won't be...

    Yeah, go up, which is looking likely, and everything changes.

    Don't think it's a shock mate. Think most of us have seen the quality that even the relegation threatened teams possess. It's going to be a slog alright.

    We put in 2 or 3 halves of football earlier in the year which were equally as bad as Preston last week, I doubt its because we were on the beach.
