From opta Leeds United gained ground on league-leaders Leicester City this weekend after the Foxes could only draw at Hull City on Saturday. It could have been worse for Enzo Maresca’s side, with Leicester twice going behind before Jamie Vardy fired home an equaliser on both occasions. Leicester are still odds-on for automatic promotion from the Championship at 91.6%, but they can have Cardiff City to thank for their chances staying as high – the Welsh club defeating Ipswich Town 2-1 with two goals in added time during Saturday’s early kick off. A run of four points won in five Championship games has seen Leicester’s chance of winning the title fall to 64.8%, however. The gap at the top is now just three points with nine games remaining. Heading into their final game of 2023, Leicester were being given a 91.3% chance of winning the Championship title. Since the turn of the year, however, they have won 20 points from 12 games – the seventh most in the league over that period. Conversely, Leeds’ form has been exceptional in 2024. They’ve won 34 of a possible 36 points (W11 D1), 10 points more than any other team in the competition in that time. After this weekend, Leeds are projected to finish inside the top two 75.6% of the time – that chance was just 21.6% on 29 December. Back then, they only had a 1.5% chance of winning the Championship title, but that has now risen to 28.6%. Ipswich’s defeat on Saturday in Cardiff has seen their automatic promotion chances drop to 25.5% after being up at 49.4% before the weekend. It looks set to be the play-offs only for Southampton, despite their weekend win over Sunderland and game in hand on their promotion rivals. Across the 10,000 current simulations by the Opta supercomputer, they finish between third and sixth 92.7% of the time. As it stands, their most likely opponents in the play-offs will be Ipswich, West Brom and Coventry City.

I didn’t think it was a penalty either but based on the two he did give in the game I was a little surprised he didn’t give it

From Opta before this weekend’s games Each of the top three currently have at least 76 points. Every single team who had 76+ points after 36 Championship games between 2004-05 and 2022-23 were top of the table at that stage, and then went on to win the league. We’ve never seen a tussle for automatic promotion from the Championship like this one. To show how close the battle for automatic promotion looks set to be, the Opta supercomputer has played out the rest of the Championship season 10,000 times and across those simulations both Ipswich and Leeds ended with an average point tally of 95. Based on three points for a win, no team in second-tier history (since 1888) have finished outside the top two places having won at least 91 points. Sunderland finished in third back in 1997-98 with 90 points, while Charlton finished on 88 that season and were in fourth place. More recently, Brighton (89 in 2015-16) and Fulham (88 in 2017-18) had to make do with third place finishes despite a fantastic points tally.

Definitely did, goes for his pocket and bottles it

Exactly, some people can’t see further then their own nose

Last 3 is 22/23 - £87million loss, 21/22- £6million loss & 20/21- £13.7million loss

I thought the new premier league rules say there cannot be any appeals

Southampton are not in a good position, they posted a £87 million loss for their 22/23 records and had massive liabilities, Villa have lost £119.6 million in 22/23, apparently Wolves are losing £184,000 a day

How has that been missed by everyone

Individual incidents will always be like that but look at the last two games overall, Saturday against QPR some of the tackles or blocks wouldn’t have been out of place if the game was played at Welford road, last night’s game it seemed contact between players wasn’t even allowed, the refereeing style was one extreme to the other

Not necessarily yellow cards will probably dry up now he’s sent one off

A points reduction is still a guilty verdict which will possibly mean they are found guilty again on this second charge as a period from the first charge is included in the second charge

It’s an independent panel that act as judge issue the punishment, the FA/premier league are the prosecutors so can ask for ridiculous punishment but it doesn’t have to been granted

I had the fortune via a friend knowing him to meet Andy King outside of Wembley stadium before the FA Cup Final, despite the obvious concerns of Covid at that time he was very generous with the leicester fans

In their 119 year history their major honors are having won the championship twice most recent 30 years ago and the championship playoffs 4 times most recent 10 years ago

according to whoscored He’s reffed us 19 times and we have won 4 and lost 12

It won’t be outfield players as they will have to go off for 30 seconds as well

The non-tosh articles are not much better as they are often littered with typos, also the poor souls must not have access to google maps as the local area and road names are regularly wrong

I support that general sale should be available for games but why all the congratulations for the cup game? The cup games always are general sale, nothing has been changed on that regard
