Ah righto. In that case it's shit 

I think it’s about fifth on average attendances which is still good going because La Liga and Serie A have five teams which average around 60k to 80k

Could Marcelo Bielsa be a wanted man by many premier league clubs, seems to have done a great job at Leeds in a short time and I think has strong enough calibre to handle high profiled top flight players and his tactics and training seem quite advanced. Could anyone see him doing a job at someone like Chelsea, Everton or even dare I say Leicester?

Everton are already rumoured to be interested.

And Bristol City won with a contentious penalty too in injury time ..

I was convinced he was going to be booked for diving when it happened

What the **** was that shameful dive in the forest game? Don't know what's worse, the dive or the abysmal decision from the ref to give it.

The main bits I saw from Benalouane was a needless swing and mishit straight to an opponent, a needless elbow in the neck going for a ball he was never getting and the backheel straight to an opponent in the box.

Well it was Lee Mason

Forest fans love Benny

[fazzyfox]

If the FA charge him with last night he SHOULD be in the S**t big time as he has so much previous in bringing the game into disrepute etc, just google it, handball goals, diving instead of shooting etc. He won't be no doubt, just the standard ban / fine. As for ref Phil Mitchell, it's easy to say he was expecting contact as feet were going in but you have to be sure, you can only give what you see and he didn't see contact.

Paul Gallagher *almost* missed a penalty, Preston two nil up against Norwich.

 

With exception of being our opponents in that 1-0 win in 2016, Norwich are possibly the most 'meh' teams around. Hope they dont go up.

I had no idea Richard Stearman was 1) still playing football and 2) was at Sheff Utd. 

Just scored vs Boro.

Frank Lampard's Derby held by bottom of the table Ipswich.

Go on Ipswich! I'm hoping they can miraculously manage to stay up, have been very fond of them ever since those 2 years they finished 5th in PL year after being promoted, then got relegated with us the year after it.

Bristol City are the outside bet for 2nd at this rate. Problem with them is they're the streakiest team going. They're either on an amazing run or a dreadful one.

Agree with this. I went to Ashton gate in 2010 when we lost 2-0 the biggest bunch of racist fans I’ve ever heard at a football ground. 

 

Even outside the ground when walking back to the train station I heard people making racist comments.

Too true. Form team. Won the last 9 I think and unbeaten in 14. Exceptionally good defensively. No exceptional players but everyone knows their role.

Understand what you mean, they're a bit plain to be a prem side... however have you seen them play recently? The football is excellent and they've got some seriously good young players! 

[ealingfox]

I'd have Bristol City over Leeds to be honest. They've not been up before and they'd go straight back down.

Who is the best/biggest EFL team never to play in the Premier League? Possibly Preston followed by Bristol City?

[The Bear]

Holy shit. They lost £277m in total.

 

Another shit-fest at the door of Harry Redknapp (Again!).
