Said yesterday.  Fancy Ipswich to drop points tonight. I reckon Southampton draw with the baggies 

 

Leeds will do the double over us, we'll win the league, and all their fans will go on about how they're the best in the league and they beat us, just like Arsenal did when we won the prem by 10 points.

Rubbing salt in their wounds hopefully!

We all know Millwall will hit the post 6 times before Ipswich score a 97th minute winner which takes 4 deflections on the way in.

I know i’m not supposed to, but i’m genuinely routing for ipswich. 
 

I just don’t see them as a real threat to us, if there’s any chance they can sneak that second spot I want them to do it. With next year in mind, the potential of cov/west b/hull and ipswich joining us infinitely makes our task of staying up easier/

Looks like I'm wrong.... again

It’s just a nice story as well. And it would be hilarious if it was the expense of Southampton and Leeds.

Think it would be quite funny if ipswich went up in second in last game of the season . All you see is Leeds fans pipping up again now after last night.

We have an extremely good record at Elland Road, probably doesn't count for a lot in this present season as Leeds are formidable there but its going to be some game.

Wouldn't say that.. look at Luton.. genuinely had them earmarked to break derby's record.

Didn't take in to account they'll play like a lower tier team playing a prem team in the fa cup going on a shock run. 

 

That being said, I'd like Ipswich to make it. Don't like Leeds, not fussed about Southampton but they've had plenty of years in the prem without doing ought .. been a long time since Ipswich were up there and they've done well with what they have

Millwall score a hopeless own goal - horror moment for the defender there

I think they'll come out full force, something we aren't used to and convincingly beat us, but we'll win the league anyway and have them inform us of how much better than us they are because we all know 2nds better than 1st

Defensively we have to be 100% focused against Leeds as one little mistake and they will punish us where other teams may not. But we could easily pick them off if we are calm on the ball and frustrate them by keeping it for long periods. Would love a vardy hat trick with him winding up the fans 😂

You’re right, it  absolutely happens sometimes with good management and behind the scenes work. But resource wise, it means they have to truly work a bit of magic to achieve it (they might).  
 

Both Leeds and southampton will look no different to the other lower league prem sides without doing much. one or 2 good or bad additions will likely determine their season one way or the other.

Who would you start in that one?

 

Personally, I feel like mavididi and fatawu play better with daka... but Vardy links better with the 8s and offers that bit more no how... vardy probably pips it for me, assuming with your hattrick wish you're thinking the same?

Yea you're right, and Luton is really a bit of a one off.. I'd love them to stay up.. one, they deserve it and two, I genuinely think second season syndrome hits them hard next season

I reckon he will start with daka to be honest seems to be the main guy at the minute and seeing him chase back against Watford I imagine will need a fair bit of that against Leeds as well. Vardy can always come off the bench to score a hat trick when we are already 3-0 up 😂

Best home record vs the best away record.

 

Interesting have taken the same number of points as us at home.

Millwall were ok, competitive, even dangerous for the first 11 minutes

 

Useless since then

 

Abysmal defending

I saw that too.. sake GD too.. literally scored 2 more goals than us.. just raving because they haven't lost a game, yet we've won more 

 

Our away form is insane. 

 

Still reckon they'll win, give them an invisible trophy to rave about

There’s a lot of garbage in this league isn’t there 

Swansea, Stoke, Millwall, QPR are all appalling. Huddersfield look to be on a strong run so there’s a good chance they’ll all be struggling.

Stoke at home earlier in the season I was almost in disbelief at what I was watching. Not sure I’ve seen us play a poorer side.

I'd say the whole bottom half are awful to be fair.

 

We easily beat sheff wed yesterday without really getting out of first gear.. Plymouth were turgid down here, Birmingham and Blackburn are cack
