We've won every game we've scored first.
In the words of Keegan "I would LOVE it" if we took the lead against them at Portman Road.

Oh I'm fully anticipating that. As well as the Iswich players enmasse surrounding the ref at every opportunity.Expect some dodgy ref decisions against you in that game.
and some epic shithousery by FurlongOh I'm fully anticipating that. As well as the Iswich players enmasse surrounding the ref at every opportunity.
If you go up sunderland will have 3 derbies next seasonOh I'm fully anticipating that. As well as the Iswich players enmasse surrounding the ref at every opportunity.
This is what its all for isnt it .. why we chose to go through all the miseryWe're going up now regardless, I'm not sure it's even possible to blow it at this point.
Echo a few other comments that I'm not sure it's even enjoyable and what is the prize that awaits

If someone offered me that, I'd be all over it personally.3 draws and 4 points dropped for all three of em
Ipswich having most their games away is massive for usIf someone offered me that, I'd be all over it personally.
Would leave 8 or 9 games left, one against the Owls (but not for Millwall) with Ipswich having only 2 home games left out of those 9 remaining.
I wolf down that guarantee ta very much, and ask for seconds. Any way you can box it off for me Johnny?
Be honest, you were just playing stupid sod to set up that punchline weren't you, you cheeky cheekster!Oh yeah we scored first both times we beat you
That third one will be a new leisure range in the club shop in the summerIf you go up sunderland will have 3 derbies next season
Tyne - Wear
Tees - Wear
Jimmy Hill - Wear

What’s massive for us is that if we need a goal you have to make sure that Steve goes for a fagIpswich having most their games away is massive for us
He mentioned that on the way homeWhat’s massive for us is that if we need a goal you have to make sure that Steve goes for a fag
I walked to him at half time and said you missed it didn’t youHe mentioned that on the way home
We are doing so well this season! And if we don't win it fucks my weekend up!Exactly the same here. Its incredible.
Something I've dreamed about for the last 24 years, but doesn't feel like how I imagined it would
I'm not even sure I can say its enjoyable to be honest. Saturday nights after a win feel amazing. The rest of the time I just want the season over with as I'm terrified we're still going to blow it!
There were times where I honestly thought it would be decades before we had a chance of getting back there
Finally!Sush your filthy mouth!
Still cant fully take in whats happening to us .

I prefer to see each game as a win or a loss and treat each draw as a bonus, especially so when it's two sides that are near the top and both need the win.Perhaps we're spending too much time looking at the number of wins and losses. It's the draws that have been the most reliably consistent factor. 20 of the 24 Championship teams this year have drawn almost exactly a quarter of their fixtures. There is no reason to suppose that that same ratio won't continue until the end of the season.
It means almost every team will draw at least two or three of their remaining games. That means nearly every team will drop about 5 points more than most people are expecting will be dropped. Our excellent goal difference should also mean that one less win than most are predicting should be enough for City to clinch automatic promotion this year. 85 points may well be enough. Three wins and two draws should do it.
I now think we may achieve this by the first week in April, with four or five games to spare!
What a great season it has been!
Did McKenna get a red or yellow cardWatching the scenes at the end of the Ipswich game yesterday-pressure is absolutely telling.
Players and management absolutely lost their heads at the referee.
They are really feeling it!

As a Boro fan we're well acquainted with this feeling.The closer we get, the more nervous I get.
I guess it's because I know we are capable of another bad run, even though it's increasingly unlikely and the fact the closer we get, any huge downturn, would make us amongst the biggest ever chokers in the history of the game.
So, I guess, even though I am confident, it's that fear of it all suddenly going wrong and just how bad that would look to the outside world
I agree with what you are saying but it makes sense to take each game at a time and not get ahead of ourselvesAs a Boro fan we're well acquainted with this feeling.
However, while you're certainly capable of a "bad run" for yourselves, outside of a freak meteor stike wiping out the team coach, there's no way on God's Green Earth that with your level and that run in you're going to have a bad run of Sheff Wed proportions. If your next 10 results mirror Oxford United's or Charlton's last 10 for example ( coincidentally equalling the statistically Worst 10 game period of your entire season - WITHOUT SHEFF WED FEATURING IN IT- when some fans were unbelievably calling for Lampard's head) you'd reach 86 points.
To beat that, the 2 nearest challengers BOTH have to win 7 and 8 games respectively out of their 11 left, when they play each other in that run AND they both also play the third even darker horse challenger.
You're practically as good as promoted.
To describe it succinctly (almost as it does the disservice of Millwall not being involved in an auto battle, but it fits this setting more as they've the very least risk of catching you), flip a coin in the air. If it lands on Heads, we miss out on promotion. If it lands on Tails, Ipswich miss out on promotion. If it lands on it's edge then you miss out on promotion.
