Are Albion on the beach ?
If not, I take them to beat Ipswich today.

The deducting of 2 points now makes them not quite safe, so they should be up for this.

 

[Otis]

A hattrick of soft penalties for the Albion and three stonewall pens not given for Ipswich would be nice.

Are you taking about the ITRA?

 

[TomRad85]

I see Ipswich losing at Southampton. I also see them dropping points at WBA but probably a draw, hard to see them losing 2 in a row. Millwall fucked it last night by not winning.
I've said for ages now that I bet the bonus point Ipswich were given vs Blackburn ends up being crucial and its starting to look that way now. Its criminal what these cunts have gotten away with this season, never seen anything like it.

I hadn’t expected Millwall to fluff their lines yesterday, it really will now come to that point they should never have got.

If they do make it I hope we dish out some vengeance on them next season now we’ll have the level playing field of PL cash.

Millwall have fucked some very winnable games in this run, they only have themselves to blame. Second place was right there but they couldn't grab it.

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.

That's football for you. Who would have thought Southampton wouldn't beat Bristol City at home last game?

This is the Championship. There's going to be more surprises before the end of the season. And for once we can just watch other clubs go through the pain of the end of season without a care in the world. I'm loving it.

Not to mention the 6 we gave them!

With the help of their 12th man as usual

Me.

Like you say, anything is possible and especially at this time of the year, at the death

Nerves and tiredness play a part and obviously there are also teams playing for their lives.

Sure there will be a few more surprises yet

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

With their points deduction WBA still need points to stay up and are now playing to their potential.

Won’t be easy for Ipswich.

Boro will win today-putting them right in the mix.

Ipshit and Soton will draw midweek meaning…

I can really see second place up for grabs for 4 teams going right to the last game.

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.

Would be an amazing final day if all of the chasing pack have a chance of getting the final autos spot.

Even better if Ipswich lose their next 2 games.

Would make for a very memorable last ever football focus wouldn't it. Still sad about that.

 

[covcity4life]

Tis possible that West Brom and Southampton could beat them though. That would stir the pot quite a bit.

This

Millwall had ana amazing season but social media fans branding them bottlers lol

Internet has ruined the beautiful game

Fortunately they will be royally rogered by VAR next season

It's why I don't mind them going up too much, although I would still prefer Millwall and Middleborough to go up. Their game is based on cheating, which they won't get away with. It's hard to totally change the way you play.

 

[Grendel]

Ipswich lose tonight v WBA is possible.
Saints beating Ipswich is probable. This would put Ipswich and Saints level going into last game. Ipswich have better for and against but this could all have changed heading to last game.
Millwall have blown autos with last night's result. Hoping Hull get last play off spot.

in the scenario you’ve described millwall would still be second with a game to go

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Millwall definitely fucked it last night. Ipswich have been given second place by incompetence of other teams, and referees. If Hull lose today and we let Wrexham beat us, you will have two of the most unlikable teams in the league given charity hand outs to get their promotions. It doesn't sit right with me, even though we are promoted ourselves.

I really hope we stuff Wrexham tomorrow.

Yes you are correct. I didn't factor in the point Millwall got last night. They should beat Oxford which gives them 83 points and Saints can only get 82. My Bad!
Just hope Penalty Ipswich don't get Autos.

Wrexham have had the spending power of a year 1 parachute club, but it won't stop people calling it a wonderful underdog story and end up sucking off Deadpool in 4K.

It has to be stopped.

They haven’t broken any financial rules

 

[DT-R]

Good thing with WBA deducted 2 points, it makes them now not mathematically safe. So could do with a point at least from Ipswich today. Really hoping they can pull something out the bag tbf. Then hopefully Southampton will steam roll them midweek too.

Both Wrexham and Birmingham will have the same problem. Can't see them going up next season either so by year 3 they will be under the rules where they have to keep losses under 39m for the period.

When we sold Gyokeres and Hamer we had 40m to spend in 1 go. We did well with the money but it didn't make us brilliant. Both have already made average at best signings from their shot at a similar amount.

 

[Otis]

No. More of a shaggy sheep story

 

[Grendel]

I don’t see the issue with Wrexham. I get it with Birmingham but Wrexham have really not got a fantastic squad. Matty James, Kieffer Moore, Josh Windass, Dom Hyam aren’t chopping down trees at this level let alone the level above and none would get in our team.

If you compare them to Blackburn the Venkys have plundered well over £200 million and have made catastrophic decision but no one would have mentioned them if they were in the top 6

I get it with Birmingham but there just seems some odd jealousy around Wrexham

Wrexham aren’t going to be making losses. They have no loans against the club

 

[Hybridtheory]

I bet that abysmal decision by the ref to send off the Millwall centre back Vs Blackburn comes back to haunt them

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

Wrexham have recently cleared a £27.5m debt to Reynolds and McElhenney, meaning the club is free of shareholder debt.

They categorically won't have the same problem as Birmingham.

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.
