the wanking over leceister and wrexham this week but no comments of congratulations to our club is disgusring

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Jack Clarke won't get away with his Bambi on ice antics every time he goes into the 18 yard box in the PL.

They're clearly coached to fall in key areas of the pitch.
It's not just about the pens they get, they're also getting free kicks where they can load the box.

 

[Bidda]

It's the pressure isn't it. We had the same trouble! Had Coburn not got injured I reckon they would have won last night.

We need to do our bit by smashing Wrexham to clear the path for Hull.

Millwall’s plan was to pump lots of balls into the box for Coburn but, when he had to go off, they continued to do so but his replacement didn’t have the height to take advantage.

 

[Ipad Boro]

Not sure Millwall have blown it, but they would need quite a bit of help.

Let's say you're right. WBA beat Ipswich. Southampton also beat Ipswich.

That scenario would still have Millwall in 2nd place going into the last game. Saints on 79, Ipswich on 79, Millwall on 80.

The ball would then be in Millwall's court.

Amazingly given our recent implosion, we could be on 79 with a result today too if that happened, which would create quite the finish to the season with a point separating 4 sides and the one on top a point ahead of the other 3 having by far the worst GD? It would be exciting for the neutral that's for sure.

It would also give us more incentive to turn over Wrexham to let Hull finish in the playoffs. This for us would strangely be easier IMHO if you guys get a result against Hollywood FC and Hull beat Charlton as then it's shit or get off the pot time for Deadpool's lads and they'll have to come at us on the final day. Sides who do that are those we tend to fare better against.

That being said, it's all hypothetical and given that we firstly would have to win today, the other results turn out the way they did, then not only win against Wrexham, but hope due to the GD's that our results surpass all the others on final day our chances of achieving that and going up are probably less than 5% at the mo.

Against it, if you look at our lineup today is the fact that Hellberg has now started to bench ordinary starters, clearly with the playoffs in mind. As perhaps the side least likely for autos who can get them and also one not fighting to remain/get into the playoffs any more (ie the Sunderland position last season) we do at least have that advantage of being able to arguably prepare slightly more in advance on those who will finish in the playoffs above and below us.

Youve just scored , ipswich fail to win and saints beat ipswich could make it tasty

QPR are the biggest i dont give a shit team ever though

Found this excellent analysis of Leicester's appalling finances, from finance expert Charlie Methven.
It really brings home the awful state of the club and the future troubles that they will face.
Get the popcorn out and enjoy.

Brillant Analysis, Brilliant Leicester are screwed!

Was he the guy who owned Sunderland during their documentry?

I remember when people thought Watford were a genuine threat to us
2 or 3 high end individuals but proper honking team overall.

He was definitely part of the boardroom team running Sunderland in League 1...not an owner, i don't think.
He's a financial consultant that has been involved with loads of sports finance inc Maclaren F1 iirc.

That's why they come back down VAR is a death knell to pisswich

Realistically Ipswich need to lose today and at Southampton for the others to have a shout.

 

[HadjiChippo]

If there’s a god, this race for top 2 will go down to the last day with Ipswich narrowly missing out, followed by a last minute loss in the PO final to a dubious penalty.

 

[TomRad85]

Don't think its going to matter for 6th place if we cuck for Wrexham at this point. Hull are cucking themselves. Hard.

1 win in 10 if they fail to do so today.

It's not inevitable!

Such a weird team. Apart from the teams right at the top I'd probably take more Watford players overall than from anyone else. But they are just shite as a team.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Derby have QPR and the Blunts to play. If we beat Deadpool and Derby win today, they're just a point behind.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Come on Hull. For fuck sake. Useless.

 

[Evo1883]

Hull not making the playoffs is slightly funny as their fans felt hard done by that our frank won manager of the season

 

[TomRad85]

Looks like West Brom having the better of it. Ipswich pen incoming I'm sure.

 

[lord_garrincha]

0 shots after 30mins. Doesn't usually stop them being 2-1 up!

 

[wingy]

GK error I think.

 

[CovveeBreak]

WBA playing some lovely stuff

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Ipswich players already practicing their diving skills in the box.

 

[Para1140]

Got 1-0 written all over this. Ipswich pen last minute

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

WBA been much the better side, McKenna gagging for a penalty.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Damn it. Should’ve been a goal.

 

[CCFCSteve]

West Brom been easily better team. Expecting 0-1 shortly, probably via a dodgy pen/decision

 

[TomRad85]

WBA been much the better side, McKenna gagging for a penalty.

He'll be smoking the refs sausage at half time I'm sure. Making a career out of giving fire BJs.

 

[Otis]

Are fire BJ's for refs that are smoking hot?

I remember this ha

Prob the same people who then branded Boros promotion hopes over a few weeks ago lol

 

[covcity4life]

Come on wba!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I remember this ha

Prob the same people who then branded Boros promotion hopes over a few weeks ago lol

2-1 now.

 

[wingy]

Need Hull to drop off and Baggies to seal it but they look prepared for a draw.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

That should have been a penalty to WBA. Only gets given to Ipshit.
