I think their may be something in the contract regarding minimum amount of live appearances, I know that's been the case in the past, no idea if it's part of the current deal but it may offer an answer to your question.

On the Southampton v Norwich match, I think there's something about postponed matches can't be broadcast if they were originally scheduled for 3pm on a Saturday.

I think they can but only if both clubs agree to it.

I seem to remember for our Hull home match a couple of seasons ago, which was moved for the cup, Hull fans were annoyed because we said no to the match being on?

Our players record on return from injury is not that good imo - takes them 2-3 matches to settle back in

Oh I think they’ll have a slight incentive to improve on that this time.

They’re conflating two things that aren’t necessarily good markers of one another

So number of points means a team is really good!!! Mm ok maybe but what if there were more teams who were just better wouldn’t that mean the number of points would reduce?

oh well whoever goes up won’t give a shit if they get less than 83 I know I wouldn’t

I don’t get this argument, surely not having teams run away with it means the league is far more competitive… almost like the rest of the championship has caught up with the parachute teams

You need a game to happen, all this waiting is what's worse. A win on Saturday and you'll be much happier going into the break.

If someone said just prior to the Boro game, we're going to win 6 on the bounce followed by a slightly unlucky defeat to Southampton, you'd have snapped their hand off. My gut instinct instinct is that tomorrow mid afternoon will be closest any team gets between now and the end of the season.

I might be in the minority on this forum but I like both Conway and Stansfield. They're not out and out goalscorers and they were both overpaid for but I like busy forwards.

Both Blues and Boro need a proper 9 to go with them.

The 3pm black out strangely applies even if the game is no longer 3pm on a Saturday

There's nothing illogical about your caution Pete (sorry!).

I am desperate for promotion, and (just as much) the Championship title. We're in a fantastic strong position, and I get why people are confident.

What I don't get is the certainty, the crowing about guards of honour, open top buses, marquee signings and so on. And all these 99% odds seem way off to me - surely it would only take a couple of poor weekends to make things really tight again.

I hope there isn't the kind of complacency to be found on here amongst the players, and I'm pretty sure Frank won't allow it.

Agreed-they did a video when we appointed Lampard, and both said it was a terrible decision - experts my arse.

It's based on the nearest team, Boro, needing 8 more points than us over the remaining 8 games. If we repeat some of our worst form and get 10 points from those games, they need to win 6 out of 8. It's not impossible, just pretty unlikely.
