It still would have been better for us if they had lost today. They are title challengers on paper. We want our challengers to lose.

They are automatic challengers not title challengers in my opinion.

I'm not particularly worried about them. Just don't understand people rooting for them over Hull in today's match up that's all

Sherwood on Sky predicting Ipswich will finish top. (I honestly think this too...) and it'll be between us and Boro for second.

Would quite like Bradford to go up as well. I remember seasons back in the lower leagues they always bought a decent away following to the Ricoh.

One of the better atmospheres

He's saying that only because they are Ipswich, he hasn't got a clue about most things and is robbing a living as a pundit.

Don't Millwall still have to play Boro and Ipswich? If they think they can still overtake them with a win or a point in either it works in our favour?

They were not going to throw in the towel if they had lost today though.

To score quite early and still be there is possibly Ipswich to beat themselves.

QPR would be doing especially well to do so, given that we don't play them until tomorrow, thanks to Sky.

Why? For not rolling over and handing Ipswich an undeserved penalty in injury time like all his mates?

A new run of my simulation after today. Today is the day I think we tipped into nailed on champions territory. And now the model thinks Leicester are going down too. Lovely stuff.
