All seem to be losing form wonder if the team in 6th will end up sneaking through in the play offs.

They will if it’s Norwich and they have to play Ipswich. I think Ipswich have go up automatically or they won’t make it

I could see West Brom or Norwich winning the play offs. Southampton in there as well.

Leicester are a club in freefall at the minute but not sure if Leeds and Ipswich can win their games to take advantage.

I wish the premier league title race was like this, you only need to win 1 in every 4 games to stay top.

Does anyone want to win the championship & automatic promotion, Ipswich, Leeds & Leicester all seem determined to want to stay in the championship right now.

Southampton have 6 games left, play both Leeds & Leicester in the run in [both matches are away though], Leeds vs Southampton on the final day, tall order Southampton need to win all their last 6 matches, & still need the top 3 to drop more points too.

Crikey. Younger glory hunter or just no excuse?

Well they were back home in Merseyside by the time I came along. Luckily my Grandad was influential in who I ended up supporting.

Exactly, more like a normal competition rather than this incessant need to be perfect all the time and to be never allowed to drop any point. It's a revolting way to win titles.

Also makes our supporters ultra critical of anything less than perfection

Really hope Ipswich can make the most of the latest Leicester slip

last time i checked the table, Leicester was a lock to win this by 15-20 pts, how the fck did they screw up this bad?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68259660 (Leicester 1 - 2 Middlesbrough)

One of those mad games where a team completely dominates but contrives to lose (sounds familiar

). Had they won that they'd have been 12 points clear. The following game Leicester were 1-0 up against Leeds and denied a second by an incorrect offside call. Leeds mugged them with three late goals.

Leicester have only won three and drawn one of their last 10 games including that Middlesbrough game. 1PPG in that run compared to 2.4PPG from their first 32 games of the season. Funny old game.

Their accounts showing that they're pissing money away won't have helped their fans moods either. It couldn't happen to a nicer fanbase...

Thought that was in for Blackburn

Yes Blackburn

FFS Ipswich now take advantage

Statto Red · « **Reply #3252 on:** April 13, 2024, 02:32:20 pm »

Blackburn with a smash & grab win, Leeds were like watching us, better teams & somehow dont win.

Fordy · « **Reply #3253 on:** April 13, 2024, 02:32:57 pm »

Southampton have 3 games in hand over Leeds and could be 1 point behind them.

Is it too early to rule Southampton out of this race to go up automatically?

It is, last game of the season is leeds-Southampton

Wow, Leeds might have fucked automatic promotion themselves but just can't say with the way everyone is dropping points. Can see Ipswich taking one of the two spots come the end if they win today.

Interesting to see where Szmodics is playing next season because it surely won't be Blackburn. Might be a decent bet for someone expected to get promotion next season or someone in the Prem even.

Ipswich losing. Getting silly now

Does anyone want to get promoted,

Southampton winning 2-0.

Who would want to go up and have to put up with VAR anyway? Or get stuffed every week. They obviously want to stay where they are.

Everton won't be quaking in their boots. The 3 who come up will be shite again.

It's funny how no one wants to win league this season

Statto Red · « **Reply #3261 on:** **Yesterday** at 01:48:58 am »

I see Southampton won 3-0, & are 4 points behind second place Leicester [3 points behind Leeds], still have Leicester & Leeds to play, very squeaky bum time.
