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.

They're after taking the Revolving Door Trophy from current holders Watford. Well whoever the poor sod is, if they can get him in before next weekend for another bounce against the Tractor Boys, that would do me.

Sounds about right. Leicester's new manager bounce (and the best they've played in months, according to their fans) is now over immediately after they've faced Boro and they've regressed to their mean. Just in time to face Ipswich next. Jolly good.🙄

Oh whilst he's certainly not in the same bracket as that nutcase at Preston, Hackney can be hot-headed and on this occasion can consider himself a lucky boy. As a side note (and part tongue in cheek) I wonder if Wrexham's dominance over Ipswich in their games overall has anything to do with...

It's not, as he mentions that the underlying issue is that it shouldn't come down to decisions if all is well. He knows changes need to be made within our approach, takes that on the chin, and always absolves his players of guilt, blaming himself instead (as he did about the first half against...

Nah, it clearly perplexed and frustrated him and he had a great point. IMHO Targett's handball in our game against you wasn't intentional, but that's not the point. It may have came at a crucial time when we pulled a goal back and were dominant which made it frustrating at the time, but it...

Yes you did, but none of these games were in the 14 game period between our two meetings that I mentioned, as Shannerz says.

Indeed they have and they've laid this on us...At least we're getting some kind of trophy guaranteed this year!🤣 With regard to how our points brackets work, a previous OP was right about cumulative totals. We need that system tbh as we always tend to travel in numbers, even for a club with a...

I'd said something similar, most of your supposed "long slump" was just form not quite as good as that previous (which it was never going to be) Your actual real slump was 4 games counting the cup game, the same as our christmas one only starting 2 games later.

Indeed. Then we went off the boil, just as we played you, not forgetting to refer to my point about you "performing out of your boots" against us. Your two games against us were the highest level you'd performed at by far, compared to every single one of the 14 games in between. Plus the...
