It would be a disappointment If we didn’t win it, but I wouldn’t let it define what we’ve achieved. If you’d offered me autos but just missing out on the title in August after the Hull game (a side tipped by many to be relegation fodder given their off field issues) I’d have had your whole arm off. Given there are sides likely relegated with bigger budgets than us, let alone the rest of the top half of the table, we’re on the absolute cusp of a remarkable achievement. It’s a win-win either way in the greater scheme of things for me.

Oh fuck...

Take some of that 16/1 on Ipswich.

I also took 40/1 before the last game. It isn't because I think it will happen but 'just in case' to drown my sorrows. Either we're champions or we have a holiday paid for.

The same colour your face was when you saw me in them Saturday eh

Its is done. We are promoted. It's an absolute non starter that Millwall can catch us with +33 goal difference over them.

I know

But we can celebrate when its official!

You want the moon on a stick. Even the greatest sides have off days.
It was a hard night for attackers because both defences were on top of their game. You can’t expect easy goals through shit defending every week.

We managed 1 shot on target against Hull. It was a poor performance by our standards. The result was fine, we all would have taken a point before kick off. You can play poorly and be happy with the result. Both of those things can be true at the same time.

The performance against Sheff Wed was awful and no one can defend it. Nobody in the stadium was expecting us to play as badly as we did, no energy, lethargic etc.

So that's two poor performances in a row which is what I said during my original post and answers the OP's question of why it feels weird currently.

I am now torn between this being a joke and someone actually turned up claiming to be me to get a free pint!

Of course with my knowledge I know he plays for olympiakos

We need someone decent with corners to be fair.

Were we really that bad? They had 5 defenders and 4 midfielders right in front of them. We knew before the game it wasn't going to be easy although we knew we should win. We had 5 blocked shots including one headed off the line and we also hit the woodwork.

It’s up to the players to put in a vintage performance at Blackburn to seal it. SW game sucked the blood out of everyone.

Nobody turned up. Or did they?

We’ve played the last 2 games not to lose, wouldn’t be surprised if we do the same Friday, play it safe to get the point, the only selfish thing about that is we might not get to to see them lift the trophy after the Wrexham game unless Ipswich lose a couple

Yes, this.

Limping over the line is hardly the standard this amazing season has fed us, and I for one am hungry for more glorious entertainment before the inevitable baptism of PL mismatches and VAR frustrations.

Plays neat triangles in midfield. Got a good midfield partnership with Isoceles and Scalene

Tayo Adamarola, their left back, wasn't he the lad we had on loan from Palace and sent him back??? looked pretty rapid to me for them.

We should sign him as an upgrade on da Silva he had serious pace

Would really like the trophy. We've led for most of the season and to potentially lose it to Dickswich would really suck.

Will look good in the new trophy cabinet in the Museum along with the FA Cup.

I can't remember but do we still have the trophy when we won the league in 66/67, anyone know, or did it get destroyed in the fire we had in the main stand at the time.

Seeing clips of fans celebrating and some of the players in Fizzy Moon feels weird. Is it just me, or does it not yet feel done? Forget the maths, I want on pitch drama to fire up the fans. Maybe I'm remembering the last day survival scraps when we were there before, but think we all deserve the performance of champions to see us through summer!

Hope the club delivers against Pompey, and especially against Wrexham.

Completely agree … I’ve been “celebrating” but need that explosive moment, hoping that Blackburn provides the first of it.

Can’t attend as I’m at a football tournament in Butlins with my boy, thankfully half the team are Cov fans so we’re going to make a night of it

But restricted Hull who had a lot to play for. You are looking at the game from one perspective.

In recent games Middlesbrough have created lots of chances and not scored. On Saturday we drew 0-0 and they lost 0-1.

It's fines margins in this league and a disparity between league positions doesn't guarantee success.
