Being ‘on the nest’ and then a question of who finishes first or second?……. Dear matron this is a football forum…

I don’t think Sky were indulging them. They were thinking about money. Increasing ad revenue etc. Trying out a new format for other potential matches with celebrity owners. For me, it was unwatchable but I’d be interested to see the viewing figures for it compared with the regular coverage.

Maybe but I don’t remember a group like that. Of course some will tank.

Forgot Burnley instead of Spurs / Forest

Can you imagine trying to scrap with Ipswich and Boro again plus Southampton, Sheff U, Norwich, Birmingham, Wrexham, all stronger plus Wolves, Forest and Tottenham. That’s a bloodbath. Managerial sackings galore.

The bus is a static display and although it’s been wheeled out once or twice, it’s barely turned a wheel in 40 years. Getting it ready to run in a parade is one thing but having 25-30 blokes roaming round the top deck throwing a trophy up and down is another. If it’s already had some work done...

That ‘87 bus was made in Coventry and has other historic significance. I’d say bring it out for the parade but maybe get another for any possible trophy waving by the current team.

I’ve been thinking this about Rushworth and champ POTS for a while now. Agree that keepers and defenders hardly ever get it. Hackney is clearly a big favourite. But don’t forget there was a lot of noise when James Trafford didn’t get it last year. I would argue Rushworth has had more influence...

If we went up, Sunderland is an obvious blueprint but as soon me have said, it’s not clear we would b as active as them. An interesting one is Brighton in 2017-18. Ok, a few years ago but the gulf between Champ and Prem was pretty similar. They had finished second in the Champ and although they...

The way Burnley played last season was an absolute piss take. I hope they finish bottom and do what Norwich and WBA have done since coming down. No doubt we will have to be pragmatic next year if we go up. Might see more of the back 5, in which case there could be a part to play for the Woolf...

In fairness, Hackney is mint but the coms team were way OTT about boro today before they got comfortable. To the extent that they said almost nothing about the handball. Fair play to Boro. Good win for them. Not ideal for us but worse for Ipswich

Top strike that is

I think they’ve been sloppy in the final third and been bullied physically. Making the wrong choices. Nice tippy tippy tho

Commentary team seem desperate to praise Middlesbrough. QPR aren’t great but boro look a bit sloppy and handballed a goal ffs

The Ipswich reaction to yesterday is interesting. They are losing their minds about the ref. Reckon they were cheated out of 4 pens. On their forum and on the vlogs, there’s almost nothing about dropping points to a relegation threatened team. But surely when the dust settles they’ll realise...

I want all of the top 6 to lose or draw. But looking for the positives, Millwall winning puts more pressure on Ipswich and Boro than it does on us. Also good if Hull get broken. They look dangerous going forward but very poor at the back today.

She’s a politician but it’s Priti not pritty as you wrote.

PPG and win percentages are one thing and not to be dismissed. But we’ve all watched football long enough to know how form and momentum can suddenly kick in but also evaporate rapidly. The margins are very small between winning and losing so although I think we’re in a great position (clear...

In an ideal world, I’d like us to finish too with Boro second. Back in the real world, I don’t want any of the chasing pack gaining ground so it has to be a blues win tonight for me.
