I'd take Sessegnon to the World Cup. He's good enough.

He is. I see something about them waiting until after the World Cup before getting him in the squad but if he’s good enough, he’s old enough Surely? I can’t see what harm it will do besides raise his transfer fee.

[dudleyred]

Hope Fulham don’t go up- we have half a chance of getting him then!

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Does the Championship have retrospective suspensions ?  If they do that rat Cahill won't be playing again this season.

Been an enjoyable game this,even the 1st half that was 0-0 was a good watch.

I’ve just watched 25 minutes of him... doesn’t look so great

Too much money and we have some of our own talent coming through.

I do, always relatively easy to get in the away / ‘neutral’ end

[Caligula?]

Interesting to see which one of Cardiff or Fulham gets 2nd. Mind you Cardiff have played two games less and are just two points behind Fulham.

[riismeister]

Anyone know a stream to the Bristol-Hull game?

[TheShanklyGates]

Anyone know a stream to the Bristol-Hull game?

Hope you found one, 5-4 to Hull now

[JoeCole]

Burton have turned Sunderland over in injury time

[TheShanklyGates]

Burton come back from 1-0 down to lead 2-1 in stoppage time against Sunderland

Is that them officially down now?

[Gerry Attrick]

Derby derbied today.

[TheShanklyGates]

Not just yet, they're 6 points behind 21st placed Bolton with 2 games to play. 22nd placed Barnsley have a game in hand as well and if they win that Sunderland are down.

Meanwhile it's 5-5 in the Bristol v Hull game

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Sunderland relegated again, oops.

Sky sports saying they are officially down , but still fuck me , imagine supporting a team that finished bottom of the league two years in a row.

I hope Mr Wilson got a couple?

I mean they're all but down but it's not official just yet.

Wilson got 2 for Hull today.

bolton need to play burton and one of them will end up with at least 41 points which relegates Sunderland

Ahh, hadn't realised that. That's just glorious

[skipper757]

Millwall in the playoff spots!? 

Derby have a match in hand but still...

2. Fulham 85
3. Cardiff 84
4. Villa 82

5. Boro 72
6. Millwall 69
7. Derby 68
8. Brentford 68
9. Preston 67
10. Bristol City 66
11. Sheffield United 66

Crazy close for the last auto spot and the last playoff spot.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Millwall have boro away and villa at home (although villa will probably be locked in 4th by then so probably won’t be arsed), fair fucks to them if they get in the playoffs though, think Bristol, Sheffield United and Preston have blown their chances now tho

[Crosby Nick]

Come on Brentford! Still a sniff of those play offs. Couldn’t play at Griffin Park if they did somehow come up though.

[Statto Red]

Derby lost again but are still just outside the playoffs with a game in hand.

It's so often the case that the team that just sneaks into the play offs ends up being the team that gets promoted. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the 3rd promoted team came from that list between 6th and 11th.

that game in hand is cardiff

[Statto Red]

that game in hand is cardiff

Can't see Derby winning that game, Derby always choke this stage of the season, somehow they're still only a point behind the playoff spot though.

Derby are the Tottenham of the Championship

[gregorio]

Getting out of the Championship next season will be absolute carnage - likely to be WBA, Soton, Stoke joining Villa or Fulham who I think will make the play-off final

Interesting side note,  I'm not sure if it's ever happened before but if Burton go down (and depending on who comes up) then every team in the Championship will have had at least 1 season in the top flight (and I am including life before the premier league) 

[Frank Becton]

From the games I have seen Wolves and Fulham look a cut above everyone else.

[Geppvindh's]

Just seen that former Liverpool youngster Lee Peltier plays right back at Cardiff. Back in the prem next season, well done mate. He's 31 years old by the way, makes me feel like Albus Dumbledore remembering watching him turn out for the reserves at 20.

Peltier is 31? Christ that makes me feel old too! Played a few League Cup games, would it have been around 2007? Possibly played in that 6-3 v Arsenal? Well done to him.

Played the whole 90 in a CL game against Galatasaray IIRC. That's Coady and Peltier from our youth setup who will be coming up to the Premier League. Ayala came up with Boro, although they went straight back down. Shelvey with Newcastle, Ince with Huddersfield Town. Sergi Canos isn't doing too bad for himself, with Brentford sitting 8th in the Championship. Anybody else from the youth setup that's worked their way up recently? Not too bad I guess. In a few years, we should be looking at a smattering of our ex-players playing at mid-lower table clubs if this continues, similar to Ferguson's era where the league was infested with ex-Mancs. Would do us a world of good regards to getting favourable transfer fees and loans.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Fulham 2-1 and going second ahead of Cardiff, no offence to Cardiff or their fans, but I'd rather not have that gaping arsehole Colin Wanker back in the Premiership thank you very much.

[Phil M]

13 in 14 for Mitrovic, what a signing he's been.

[clinical]

Klopp would turn Sessegnon into a world beater. Can see a few issues that would disappear with a bit of coaching. Needs to run with his head up a little bit as well.

Be gutted if he goes elsewhere.

San Jose at Bilbao from that kind of era as well.

[Durlmints]

This ref though.

[Crosby Nick]

Wilson rocking the Friar Tuck look.

[smicer07]

Awful officiating again. Clear offside in real time for the winning goal.
