He spent all night on that.

I'll be very surprised if he is a regular starter wherever he goes. Whenever he got a proper run in our team (granted it was few and far between) it always ended in disappointment. Had a chance this season to easily become the best striker in this league but never seemed bothered. Was really excited when we got him but not too fussed he's going on a free now. I think overall and in particular his FA cup record, I think we got decent value for our money over the 7 years.

Agreed! It's almost like TV companies are scared no one will watch a travel program unless they have a celeb go there.

I think with the potential restrictions on spending and possible points deduction, it's got to be survival. If we can do that and also bring a couple of the youngsters through to the main squad (I'm thinking Braybrooke, Alves and Nelson initially) I'll be happy. If we have still got Maresca and play our game, maybe bring in one or two of his chosen signings, there's a good chance we could do well next season but it's a bit of an unknown at this point.

Too high. I will be surprised if we get more than 6

There is not a chance that it would be anywhere near 12 points. Don't you get just 10 for going to to administration?

Thanks for explaining that for me I had no idea!!! I'm aware of the in's and out's of sponsorship and our clubs current position, however I have expressed my opinion that FBS should not be anywhere near the front of our shirts again for the above reasons.

Whatever genius at the club thought this was a good idea needs their head checking. Screams tinpot plastering that on the kits.

Where do you want me to start? It's a crap looking sponsor to start with, basically a gambling company as I'm sure they had a line somewhere on their site saying 75% of people end up losing their money. Thirdly, they bailed on us as soon as we got relegated so no thanks.

IF the club have FBS back on the shirts it's a joke

I don't think any players came out of last season with any gloss - I'll be disappointed if anyone boo's Maddison and Tielemans as they're both a part of the FA Cup win which was magical and enough for me to respect them as former players, not boo them just because they no longer play for us. Same goes for Castagne and Barnes and any of the current crop who are leaving on frees this summer, should they come up against us next year.

15th in the all-time PL goalscoring charts, PL record for most consecutive games/goals, PL and FA Cup winner with Leicester. I think we'd probably have paid whatever that number is multiple times over to earn that kind of success

Can't wait to get into that stadium bowl tonight and let the light show strike fear into those Saints, then we can all sing 'let's all have a disco'

Ah yeah that makes more sense.

What do you mean £100 a game? Is it not just a one-off £25 charge per card?

You're a barrel of laughs! We've been through much worse times in the past, whatever the next 2/3 seasons brings I don't think it will phase us as fans.

At the end of the day, professional football in England means all 92 clubs in the EFL and PL, however, the TV money and the power that brings means the PL have a lot of muscle. Despite that, the purpose of the FA is to represent and protect the wellbeing of the sport, from the top to the bottom. No decision should have been made on changes to this competition without a say from all of those clubs who particiipate in it, at the very least, the 92 professional clubs. Makes me sick that the PL thinks it can just dictate the future of the sport in our country.

I think we're going to have to score more goals than West Brom if we want to win it. Otherwise you're spot on, it will either be a draw or loss.

Yes, please do!

Which ones? I want to watch all the championship highlights on the TV à la Match of the Day for the PL. You'd think for the amount of fans the 72 clubs in the EFL have they'd be able to make a decent highlights show.

I don't know about anyone else but another key motivator for me to want us to be promoted is so I don't have to sit through the utter dross that is the EFL highlights show. Everything about it feels crap and that bloody saxophone solo at the ad breaks goes through me like a hot knife through butter.

Yeah agreed. I hoped after we lost to Millwall and then Ipswich and Leeds didn't capitalise, that it might give the lads a kick up the backside. Then losing again to Plymouth and somehow still not being fully punished by Ipswich and Leeds, it has finally now go to be the point where they pull their fingers out - we've been gifted a chance where it's still in our hands so we need to take it or otherwise we've got no one to blame but ourselves if we don't go up.

I've had butterflies in my stomach since the weekend about this one - feels like this game is massive.

You could say the same for all 4 teams really, Leeds and Leicester would have expected to go up automatically prior to 3/4 weeks ago so a lot more pressure on us to do it now but we have to try and have the same mentality. Nothing to lose now, try and attack from the off in the next 4 games and keep it in our own hands.

Are there many tickets left for sale for this or the Southampton game? It's been 2 weeks since the WBA game reached Fox members guests and a month since the same for the Southampton game - absolutely no sign of general sales or sale to booking history so I'm wondering are there next to no tickets left or is the club just being a bunch of c***s? No one is going to buy a membership now so let some people get to the last games they have a chance to this season.
