He deserved the nomination at the time they would’ve compiled it but objectively, never deserved to win it. All the nominees are just imo and Lampard is a clear winner.

Even Eckert and Clement, both have done good jobs but still don’t deserve to be nominated. In 2021/22 when Cooper took Forest from to 3rd and promotion via playoffs, he nor Marco Silva won MOTY - it was Luton’s Nathan Jones. Both Southampton and Norwich have the resources to charge up the table and they did.

For me, the narrative around Boro was jarring. The triumphalism around them overtaking us was annoying and it was presume they’d keep top spot. The signs were there that they wouldn’t; poor Xmas results and their home record was not as good as ours or Ipswich. In reality, the gap between the two teams was always substantial.

Whilst I think Lampard should win it, I think there's an argument for giving it to Jakirowic just for not giving up 6 points to Lampard.

To be fair BSB, I’ll remind you that your bowels were quite loose before our match v Boro…

I definitely respect that. Personally, my optimism never wavered but frankly, that level of optimism can border delusion!

I hope you’re at the game tonight to enjoy the promotion party!

Why?

You go to work (I assume), are you grateful that you get paid each month or are you entitled to it?

You buy something from amazon, are you grateful that they deliver it to you or are you entitled to it?

I'm not sure you understand what the word entitled means.

The word literally means to be awarded the title!! We win the title, we become entitled.

If you win more points than the other teams you should 100%, feel entitled.

Being entitled is not a negative, it's a product of success and people can feel it if they want.

Sometimes you need to be able to read past the headlines. They totally dominated their last game as usual with Portsmouth only having 3 shots and 1 on target where they scored in the 97th minute. If they had won they would have been level with Ipswich on points.

Their 2 best players by far have been out injured for weeks. Where would we be now if we hadn't had say Wright and Onyeka since we played Middlesbrough? They don't have a goalscorer on the pitch and it shows. Lately they're averaging nearly 50 shots per goal. Do you blame the manager for this?

They are playing against a low block most games because of how strong their midfield is. We should all know by now how difficult it is.

Edit.

Next game for Portsmouth was against Ipswich where they got a deserved 2-0 win.
