Surprised you haven't had any DMs from them.

You know it's a good flounce when somebody sends a bulk DM.

I have no idea what you are trying to say there.

You obviously know one of them was Deleted member 5849.

These DM's, as far as I am aware were between just myself and the individuals concerned.

Can we get back to the Championship please.

I do think this is going to hurt Ipswich for a while. Would love to know what their players think. Quite a few of their own fans have voiced their annoyance haven't they.

Just wonder if any of this will hurt them out on the pitch. I mean, it shouldn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I can really see opposition fans making a big deal of this. They are always looking for anything anyway aren't they, but this is more ammunition..

We'll end up going up with Ipswich and Millwall aka The SS and The Gestapo

Agreed - assuming they edge out Wrexham for the play off spot. Think it would be close between Ipswich (if they don't get 2nd) and them in the [lay offs though. Can't see Hull doing it. Boro need to finish 2nd, or I think they'll blow it in the play offs. Millwall deserve Kudos, and for several reasons, I'd love it if they upset the establishment by making it.

Funnily enough when Cov won the cup in 87, Leicester got relegated. I think if we win the Championship this season, it is second in magnitude only to the cup win (bigger than 67 because the game back then wasn't so distorted by parachute payments).

Think they'll both get in.

I see Hull as the ones to miss out. Then again, I've been thinking they'll fall away all season and they're still there.

Southampton are the form side right now aren't they.

Still think there may well be twists and turns to come though.

Southampton miss the league on Good Friday then travel to Wrexham, so that’s a big opportunity for Hull to open up a gap. Our record on Easter Monday is absolutely terrible too.

Nor me. Hopefully Boro get autos.

Didn't think I could dislike Ipswich more, but there you go. Think Southampton will be too strong for any of the other PO teams.

Southampton do have a load of games in quick succession mid April onwards which could be tricky if only because of the amount of weekend and midweek games in a row.

Genuinely no idea how Hull are still up there.
Every time I've seen them they've looked miles behind the rest of the top 6 in terms of quality.

To be fair the majority of those pushing the BLM at rhe time were white. When the organisation was exposed for what they really were and that was marxist grifters who sponged millions of pounds out of naive saviours it all went very quiet

We live in a majority white country, the majority of everyone doing anything is highly likely to be white. And the sentiment that Black Lives Matter is not the same as one specific organisation in the US. No one was kneeling for an organisation, but you know that. You just don’t like anti racism for reasons.

I think we should leave all this in off-topic, as much as we may want to respond.

Perhaps a stock answer from here on in of "This is not the place to discuss this" so the thread stays on track?

It's true about long term posters leaving.

A few of them DM'd me and said they had, had enough

But can we all please get this thread back on track.

So, I would like...

Boro and Millwall to come up with us ideally, as an automatic, with Leicester to go down.

As for the playoffs. I have a sneaky feeling that Wrexham might just do it. Like it's written in the stars.

Hull have got quite a favourable run-in (aside from playing us). I reckon (hope) they stay in instead of Wrexham or Southampton.

I would like Wrexham to lose a play off final but I just can't risk them being in the play offs and winning.

Hopefully we can smash them 2nd last game.

Several decent posters were lost. I don’t remember numbers specifically but at least one it was because of the racism on here and nothing being done iirc. Another because of transphobia which I’m probably partly to blame for. It does drive people away when arseholes get a free pass. A large reason GMK died was lax moderation and trolls running wild. Most people just can’t be arsed with it. It’s killing Twitter and BlueSky as well. A very noisy 5-10% can drive everyone else away if not managed properly.

Derby are another one. Every time I watch them they seem like they genuinely can't play football. Then I check their results and they win another two games.

Watford also odd. World beaters on their day, but sometimes they just act like they turn up and can't be arsed. Kind of like the French.

Watford drawing twice with Sheffield Wednesday and needing injury time equalisers to do so on both occasions is criminal. They are such a weird team.
