Going to be cheering on Boro tomorrow …

Don't you think as a crucial must-win for both sides it's got dull-as-shit 0-0 bore draw written all over it?

Boro come good 3-1 leaving us with 2 points for the championship

 

[David O'Day]

That lesta 8 points from safety with 9 to play for?

lol

Yep, but with potential points deduction for WBA incoming

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Yep, but with potential points deduction for WBA incoming

Isn't it a max of 6 points though?

 

[Danceswithhorses]

would think wba's punishment will be lighter in comparison to Leicester's massive transgressions

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Are wolves going to receive a punishment as they massively overspent the season they went up

Would take that would still mean we can win the title on Tuesday.

They will finish below Oxford anyway so it won't matter

There’s nothing worse than players feigning interest in having to applaud the fans after a terrible performance and getting dogs abuse back.

That said, it’s Leicester, so it’s funny. The fact that “Freed From Desire” is pumping out and the Pompey fans are partying makes it one of the funniest things I’ve seen for a while.

I sometimes look at Vlogs from ‘The final whistle’. Call it a guilty pleasure, voyeurism or whatever. But the scenes at the end were very odd. Some players didn’t bother going to the fans. Winks hung back on halfway. After taking absolute pelters, it looked like sarcastic applause from the players and massive ‘fuck you’ vibes towards the baying fans. Very odd and deliciously toxic.

The WBA Points (if guilty) is reported to be a max of 3 PTS as it's a marginal error rather than a flagrant breach.
Even with a -3 it's still hard to see Leicester getting past them. Millwall and Hull at home - both need the points. Could be down already by the time they end at Blackburn.

Hoping today is the day Boro start putting their chances away!

Brilliant

Those kids who were holding cardboard up at full-time saying (presumably) “Can I have your shirt”, eliciting a response from grown men of “Put those fucking signs down”

Oh dear - poor lambs

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Delightful

 

[jas365]

Piss taking aside, that is atrocious.

 

[skyblue025]

Delightful

That tells you the players have given up on the club. Can't even be arsed to run.

It's such a monumental collapse that it almost feels deliberate. Players who thought they would get moves back to the Prem but it didn't materialise maybe? So just can't be arsed? It's weird

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Delightful

What are ours?

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

There is a thread on the Lesta forum semi dedicated to writing parody songs about their season. Especially popular ones get produced into real songs by someone for one of the main fan podcasts.

I have managed to hit that achievement

Go on post it for us!

 

[shmmeee]

Delightful

And that’s why I wouldn’t touch a single Leicester player even on a free.

 

[Para1140]

Tuesday is a huge day. Three points and the title is more or less ours and Hull beat Leicester sending Leicester down

 

[Ipad Boro]

A lot of Blunderland fans all over any post involving CCFC atm. But remember they do not care about us, they absolutely do not, no sir, not them.

They're the exact same with us. Apart from a few who admit they hate us.

 

[TomRad85]

There's a lot of thick as fuck fanbases out there. Tbh, large portions of ours aren't great but Sunderland take the fucking piss. Its not just the social media warriors either, the real life ones genuinely shouted at a statue!

 

[Ipad Boro]

I haven't much hope for us in today's game if I'm honest.

The Tractors at home where they're usually immense, virtually injury free. Us without our best (Hackney) and second best (McGree) players and creators through injury, our only man showing a spark of scoring before his injury (Casteldine) still missing too. Oh and our top scorer (who's a midfielder) only fit enough to make the bench.

Why are you not putting Whittaker up front given your struggles to score?

3 nil win today then , just beat these cheating cunts

 

[jordan210]

Looking forward to watching Ipswich fall over for 90 mins not get carded for blatant cheating and getting a dodgy pen

 

[Evo1883]

So if boro win and we win tuesday weve won the league ?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

So if boro win and we win tuesday weve won the league ?

Yes

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

So if boro win and we win tuesday weve won the league ?

Actually even if they draw and we win on Tuesday we've won the league. Only an Ipswich win prevents it.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Sky sports constantly mentioning how we beat Boro.

Feel like Boro get a win today, probably solely cause it would mean we could win the league on Tuesday

 

[Ipad Boro]

Why are you not putting Whittaker up front given your struggles to score?

It seems like the obvious solution, but it isn't, because his scoring would be greatly reduced up front. He's slightly built and would be barged over easily by defenders in the thick of a box melee before he got to the ball. His strength is timing his runs to reach the edge of the box, then releasing a shot further out, before he is crowded out, especially by most low blocking sides.

Also with this game, he's not fit enough to start yet, only just coming back from a decent length of time out injured. He'll probably be introduced if need be when opponents start to tire to give him a. fair chance.

Hope furlong is hurt
