It's utterly irrational, illogical and incomprehensible to us, but not to him. He has invested a load of money and time into something, and now he wants a return on that investment. He clearly has a price below which he won't sell and literally nothing that can be done will change that fact. Whilst ...

Sadly, a defeat looms; frankly, anything less than a 3-0 defeat away against a Derby side that will be in the Championship next season will be a good result tonight.

Nobody in the bottom 4 is looking as if they are going on a miracle late run that saves them, coupled with a total collapse by us.

The current 5 point cushion we have to the relegation spots is vital though.........

Ipswich were leading away at Cardiff as they went into injury time; Cardiff then scored in the 95th and 100th minutes and so Ipswich can now only amass 105 points.

Another one bites the dust.

Because we hold the record outright. My specific question was whether if two sides achieved 106 would the side with the better goal difference be considered the record holder ? I assume you aren’t a stats man. No, it's separate from the record. As the first team to do it, we'd still hold it as the ...

And another thread that gets sucked into the ownership history/points deduction situation; I - and I suspect many others - enjoy reading about the upcoming matches (and Sutekh has done another excellent job here), so rather than have the same discussions that are going around and around on multiple ...

Credit where credit is due. After the debacle of the earlier part of the season, I felt he should be got rid off and maybe bring in Noel Hunt to manage the team. Hwever, he has learnt how to get the best out of his squad and - importantly - has got a positive mental attitude into the players. To me,...

It's easy to keep competing before you get promotion or win the title - it's afterwards where it makes a difference. It's inevitable to relax that little bit once everything's confirmed. Well then the fact that there are 4 very high quality teams this year will really help Leicester. By the same to...

I am firmly in the "must win" camp for this game; not just for the 3 points (obvs) but for the boost to morale and the psychological benefits that a win right now against a team we are battling against at the bottom will bring.

I think we put out our strongest possible side this evening and go all out for the win; none of that "a point will do" attitude. The reasons? Firstly, winning becomes a habit; we are on a great run of form, keep it going. Secondly, let's try to ensure that Fleetood stay well below us in th...

Derby really were there for the taking in that last game of the season; iirc we needed to score 7 to stay up on GD and only managed 4......

Steve Evans is a throw back to a time of football played on pitches that would have graced the Somme, John Beck being hailed as a tactical genius and 2 points for a win.

Most of his sort went when that Asteroid hit the Yucatan Penisular a few Years back.............................................

Stranded Another little fact from last night - the clean sheet was our first in 462 days - since Luton 0 Reading 0 on 1st November 2022.

You mean, away from home?

51 is the target then....

The Division is beginning to concertina somewhat, with teams who - at Christmas were looking up at the Play-Offs - are now looking down; Bristol Rovers being one to watch....when I have time I will check out what the highest points total in League 1 that still resulted in relegation was, and the mea...

The 4 home games in that list - plus Fleetwood and Carlisle - are must wins IMHO. Drawing is only slightly better than losing, which is why despite only having lost once in the last 10 games, we are still in the bottom 4; we have to start converting those draws into wins, and sooner rather than late...

Mr Angry Chris Wilder said that Palace wouldn't even accept £50M for either Olise or Eze right now.....

They won't accept $50M from Sheffield United or won't accept from anybody?

Anybody.

Sheff Utd don't have £50 at the moment, let alone £50M!

Do a search for the first man mentioned in this video. If true, appears Dai might have some friends in some powerful places! https://youtu.be/pFVPZKgmjAE?si=gW3eMBN-SlerPUrx Not really sure what all this is about mind! Believe that Dai's father was head of the Chinese Central Bank. In communist sta...

Just had a look at the most consecutive seasons in the top flight of English football (ie: both the Premier League AND the old Division 1). Quite surprising really; not the top 7 (which are easy to guess), but the teams in 8th, 9th and joint 10th, and the number of Years spent consecutively in the t...
