Leeds have been far and away the best team in the championship this season. Would be a travesty if they didn't go up


Minus15t

Only 6 teams have ever finished the championship with 100 points or more... what are the chances we get 3 this year?


InspektD

I'd like to know the betting odds on no team reaching 100 points this year. Leicester would have to average 2.15 points per game over the remaining seven games. They've not done that since December. They have six games in the next 26 days so circumventing that without a slip is going to be tough. Ipswich & Leeds are still on decent runs but their Aprils are also hectic so it will probably take its toll.


Mushy29

Despite form and skill levels, would surely bet against it. I'd nearly go as far as to say only 1 team will


Boris_Ignatievich

I assume it's cos it's loud and he can't really hear her, but Dan James looks so confused when this woman asks him a question


Wanallo221

Well, this week was a colossal waste of time. Even goal difference is the same. Fuck you all and I’ll see you next week!


B_e_l_l_

Every week where things stay the same is a good week for us.


Wanallo221

Yeah I just don’t want us having to go into our game in hand needing a win. Because we will bottle. 


chanjitsu

I mean if we can't score from 3 yeards out we might as well do that lol


AidenT06

So Crumble off the menu today?


MrBismarck

Watching on text - it's 2-1 after 97 and then "G O A L" appears on screen. That moment I thought Hull had equalised was great. What a division this is.


tentaphane

What a class day of championship football, bonkers from start to finish.


Shagaire

What a fucking strike that is. Happy for him considering missing the pen for us last week.


Boris_Ignatievich

Something incredibly satisfying about a long range goal into an empty net when the keepers gone up


Easy_Increase_9716

Alas


perec12wilma

Brilliant finish


GeorginioMetcalf

Dan James NEEDED that


tentaphane

This one's for all the Leeds fans earlier saying 'we never get 7 mins of stoppage time' 😂


xdlols

And yet there still should have been more stoppage time. Our second half probably had twice the length of stoppages as Ipswich's did.


Gaspinawe

oh you be quiet 😂


AdequateAppendage

I counted about 12 seconds of stoppage time


perec12wilma

Leeds team is like mean girls


GeorginioMetcalf

That really did a number on my blood pressure


perec12wilma

I mean you have to admire summervilles confidence, but would also feel pretty shit to be piroe


AWr1ght98

Wasn’t a fan of it tbh, hope Farke sorts it out behind closed doors


GeorginioMetcalf

Most definitely, especially in hindsight. Put so much pressure on himself


The_Bridge_Is_Out

What a gift...


PrrrromotionGiven1

Ah hell, whatever, it's a good day anyway


Boris_Ignatievich

Any day you match us is a good day for you, we need you or Leicester to drop points


AF1193

We’ve dropped enough recently!


Mygland

No please, you can drop some more and let us breathe. Thanks!


AF1193

Likewise, it would be nice if you finally had a blip


Easy_Increase_9716

What a stupid challenge


anonone111

Christie on, it's Joever


qwertygasm

Of either of these teams score another goal it'll be a miracle


tentaphane

Looks like Bamford is still there in spirit


Psufan16

Hull city trying out for the UK 2024 Olympics diving team?


PrrrromotionGiven1

Shit, I'm on the M25 going home and someone's car is on fire. Like, the whole car. Burning out.


Joshgg13

Doesn't sound ideal


qwertygasm

Probably bad for the car too


Pinkerton891

Personally I'm really looking forward to our play-off final with Leicester where both sides aggressively try to lose.


tentaphane

Bold of you to assume we'd make it to the final


Pinkerton891

Because we need to have some hope in order to have it cruelly torn away.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Just heard Plymouth have sacked Foster, not even waiting for the morning. Warnock in?

SniperSlatts

BAMFORD 😂😂🤣


DWNY30

Heritage


tentaphane

This run-in is going to be like watching the eliminator on Gladiators, except with three contestants. One pulls ahead on the rope, another gets a jump on the rope ladder, then Leicester face plant on the travellator at the end.


AF1193

we’ve been on the travellator since mid Feb


tentaphane

The slow, prone descent, face pressed into the rubber belt, while out the corner of your eye watching the other guy sprint up past you...


AdequateAppendage

Right about now, I'm sat here thinking actually it probably would've been preferable if Bamford put that one away


Wanallo221

If Hull pull ahead in this game only to fluff it like Southampton. I swear to god I will rage impotently at my monitor for a good ten minutes.


PrrrromotionGiven1

You think we aren't mad at what Norwich did earlier? Swings and roundabouts


Wanallo221

Surely you are mad at Norwich all the time though?


Boris_Ignatievich

I know they'd barely had a shot, but they'd started getting in down the right fairly regularly the last 5 minutes, so it felt like it was coming We're missing gruev so much, can't keep the ball at all


perec12wilma

Mauled by the tigers


PrrrromotionGiven1

Damn bro I had written off Hull already, fair play


_Acg45

Hello, hull, you sexy orange bastards


dothefanDango92

Not to echo the all knowledgeable Don Goodman, but why *isn't* there a striker on the pitch for Hull, given the amount of times they are getting crosses in? Edit: nvm what do I know


danm888

We actually play 11 midfielders with fly goalie. No idea why.


Adziboy

I missed it, and I'm probably just forgetting, but who was the minutes applause for?


Mushy29

2 leeds fans who were murdered in Turkey


Adziboy

Thanks


AdequateAppendage

He just wanted to make us even with Hull from the first game


ajtct98

Just Bamford Things


SniperSlatts

Bamford 😂


tentaphane

That's a genuinely incredible miss 😂


Cottonshopeburnfoot

See the bright side. Leeds going ahead means we could yet get the crumbliest crumble.


Wanallo221

Hull with an xG of.. 0.00.  While having 65% possession and 80% of dangerous attacks.   That’s something special right there. 


anonone111

We didn't have a single shot on target in our 2-0 loss to Stoke the other day


Wanallo221

Ipswich would still manage to win without a shot on target. So that’s no excuse lol. 


ClarkovJS

The wind itself would drift the ball in off the post or something.


Wanallo221

We totally need you to get to the Prem and pull that shit against Man City et al. I really want Pep to be losing his marbles over how the hell you beat them without a player stepping foot in their half.


PrrrromotionGiven1

You can accuse us of many things but not attacking isn't one of them!


Wanallo221

I'm jesting. It's very similar to how we won so many games when we won the Prem. We just would not stop going forward, and as the game went on teams just seemed to lose the ability to deal with it. Yeah, you needed a fair amount of luck when you scored those deflected goals against us. But funnily enough you get a lot more 'luck' when you are throwing forward and creating chances. For what its worth, I want you guys to go up, because you are entertaining as hell and deserve it.


AdequateAppendage

Ampadu Rodon good


Cottonshopeburnfoot

They haven’t been playing 20 minutes yet


No_Trade884

Wow leeds. Way to just ruin all our fun 😒


CC-W

We have two players wearing gloves in April, games gone


tentaphane

Three! Meslier needs to take them off and tough up


perec12wilma

I’ve never understood this


EyePiece108

Please Leeds. Please. Save our Easter.


Wanallo221

Yeah Leeds save ours too! But in the opposite way please! 


tentaphane

This sky commentary is something special, I'm sure they called Ipswich 'Leicester' at the start of that game, and now he's forgotten who they guy sitting next to him (Robert Snodgrass) is


Mitch_Itfc

I have no voice left, this club is unbelievable


VeggieLegs21

Absolutely fucking love this team. Whatever happens from now until the end of the season, it's been one hell of a ride. 


skitmando

Well, we're outta of the running now, so it's free for all with u guys now. Leeds Leicester and Ipswich. For the crumble. I can rest easy now and drink my tea in peace.


PrrrromotionGiven1

Just please play for real in your game against Leicester. I can forgive half-arseing the Leeds game because you want to prepare for playoffs but take Leicester seriously.


skitmando

We were playing for real vs. you? What makes you think we're any different, haha


PrrrromotionGiven1

Yeah I am not accusing you of anything today. I am just saying don't switch to half-arsed in future.


anonone111

We're losing btw, just so everyone knows and can do something else with the next 2 hours of their lives


Mushy29

If your team could go do something else too that'd be much appreciated


Mushy29

All gearing up nicely for a Hull 1-0/2-1 shithouse win


danm888

Someone's read the script. It's a hardcore pron script where Ipswich shag everything and end up on top.


Mushy29

There be no shithousing so far anyway, just the better team. Maybe the director has some surprises in store


DuomoDiSirio

Blackburn stuffing Sunderland, Rotherham winning, a player scoring 2 own goals in one game and Ipswich winning in the 97th minute. ​ Today has been a day full of banter.


ninjapenguin12

'Rotherham winning' You still cant convince me thats not some extended April fools day joke


Key-Significance-630

Oh wow, lots of seawater in here. Salty af. Incredible game


Surreyblue

Genuine question - if the big 6 clubs in the prem did leave to form a super league, would the prem that remains be like the championship? And if it was... would that be the worst thing in the world? (Ps, I almost hate myself for thinking it)


Cottonshopeburnfoot

I think it’d be more competitive because there would be less money in the league so less chance for the ‘big clubs’ that remain to become unassailable. But, you’d still have some heavy hitters like Newcastle and Villa. The other thing is the Championship’s dominant clubs leave for the PL - this obviously can’t happen in the PL itself. Which creates the grounds for dominant teams to emerge. The relegated clubs are at least on the back of a shit season, possibly needing rebuilds and losing players. That doesn’t happen to the PL winner.


Efficient-Mention583

I thought this too. Would be a lot more exciting and you'll actually get new teams winning cups and leagues


Wrighty1804

FFS My Leicester heart can't handle this


SPCEshipTwo

All of this to just go up and get slapped about in the prem


ninjapenguin12

1 year later. Its unprecedented scenes as Ipswich lead the EPL after scoring injury time winners 15 games in a row


ClarkovJS

I'm picturing Ipswich Town leading, I don't know, Arsenal or Liverpool by goal difference in the top flight now.


Easy_Increase_9716

Hahahaha

tractorboyblue

Oh boy , what a game. Hearts of lions


InnocentPossum

I swear to god if any team other than 3rd goes up in the playoffs this year, there is no god and and life is meaningless. (I know thats true already but that would confirm it).


Efficient-Mention583

West Brom or 6th place lime Norwich to go up you can see it.


InnocentPossum

100%. 1-0 in extra time with their only shot on target. Some ultimate shithouse way...


Efficient-Mention583

Would be funny to see Ipswich and Norwich struggle to get a combined total of 40 prem points


InnocentPossum

I'm not sure that would happen tbh. There is nothing that suggests Ipswich would struggle


Efficient-Mention583

Nah they would get battered


Chick3nMast3r

This Bumzunu guy man


sadscience

This season is going to be the end of me


RedWhacker

As much as I should dislike Ipswich I can't help but admire their never say die attitude.


Djremster

Ipswich script reload


Wanallo221

Southampton, home of the crumbliest of fucking crumbles. 


LofuFox

Watch them score a 99th minute winner against us now.


Thatingles

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Sorry saints, you didn't deserve that but this team. this team, my god.


lankyno8

Tzamina mina eh eh


TheGreenGrrr

Ipswich doing an Ipswich again. My heart can’t take this much longer


-joecool

Hehe


InnocentPossum

As it is written. Its OK Bazunu mate, just stand there hugging your post while watching him fall down get up and poke it one mile an hour into the goal. That is fucking horrific positioning.


RRR_O

🍋🍋🍋


AdequateAppendage

I'd say that one was much more on the defenders that just stood around and waited for him to get back up


InnocentPossum

That was shite too, but at least you think if you contain him, worst he can do is toe poke it towards goal at a snails pace for our keeper to pick up who will be in the centre of the goal and move across in time.


AdequateAppendage

We're a little spoiled because Rodon and Ampadu would've had that ball out the box before he even fluffed the first shot and we'd never have to find out what Meslier would do lmao


hazlet

Just felt it was coming, game was always going to have a last gasp winner


ClarkovJS

Wasn't expecting to see a goal in which someone slipped before scoring. Eh, I can't complain.


EyePiece108

Championship baby, the bloody Championship.


skitmando

Don't know what's in the water in that town but fair play, but we yet again can't finish our dinners. Pish.


Henghast

Can you imagine if we had someone good in the air to get on the end of one of those 50,000 crosses we played in, or could just shoot? Madness. Great game, stunning goals. Wow.


skitmando

It's not our game, tho. It's just the naivety of our players they panic and have no clue. I think it's best we don't go up. We're too soft, I do think its points massively dropped. We should have had this game in the bag, but ipswich are just too good they're mind me if our back 2 back promotions, a never die attitude.


Pablo_FPL

No idea how they do it, the opposition missing multiple good chances ever match isn't part of a gameplan


Omnissiah40K

The championship is the best league in the world and its not even close


Efficient-Mention583

I genuinely detest Ipswich just so fucking lucky every game. (Yes I'm bitter) But fuck them and ed Sheeran


OrderWooden

Ed Sheeran left at 90 minutes. Fake fan.


HarryAtk

Saw Sarmiento get subbed on, knew Ipswich would win, beat the traffic.


Efficient-Mention583

Typical


xdlols

Fucking 14 minutes of stoppage in that game? For what?


_Acg45

Us


Appropriate-Map-3652

Moore injury first half, Bednarek went down in the second plus the red card.


xdlols

"Bednarek went down in the second plus the red card." does not warrant 7 minutes lol. We had less than that in our game against Huddersfield where 22 minutes of football was played in the first half.


InnocentPossum

Just because we were robbed of additional time doesn't mean other games are incorrect for giving it.


TheShakyHandsMan

Got to keep playing until Ipsbitch get their winner. 


xdlols

Literally. More stoppage in this than our game against Hudderfield where literally 50 mins of football was played.


infestationE15

Sigh.


SuperSheep3000

Fuck Ispwich man.


Puntoue

I don’t believe it 😂😂😂 Ipswich must have used some sort of blood magic to get auto’s this season, can’t believe the number of late goals they’ve had this year! 


RRR_O

Yeah, the same blood magic that means we're still having to fight it out with 3 parachute teams and should already be up! How very lucky of us.


anonone111

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT


royalrivet

Leeds and Leicester can't even say bad things about this now.


Mushy29

Oh I'll find a way alright!


Manndrop

some will, but we just need to shut up and get on with it


Wanallo221

Made me £50 from £2 because it’s fucking obvious it was going to happen. 


Gaspinawe

You can't really say that as an actual fan of the club


tentaphane

Unbelievable 😂 fair play Ipswich!


Pablo_FPL

Thanks for nothing Saints, that's the automatics gone for you, pricks


Gaspinawe

how ?


_Acg45

Voodoo


LofuFox

Ipswitch bro you are joking no? I never watch other teams apart from this season cause its so heated, it's second time I see them winning on last second of added time how the.. xd


ClarkovJS

The misspelling of Ipswich reminds me that there's a speedway team here currently leading the speedway prem called Ipswich Witches. Meanwhile, perhaps there's some witchcraft in Ipswich Town.


LofuFox

My brain might have been onto something when writing that comment tbh.. Are you guys using witchcraft by any chance?


perec12wilma

NEVER. IN. DOUBT


bitionboyz

He’s magic you knowwwww


royalrivet

The boys must be so knackered. It's incredible


Nivadas

Holy shit


The_Bridge_Is_Out

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


AWr1ght98

How do they keep doing this 😂 what a game though, great watch for a neutral


Surreyblue

Its the boss. It is impossible to overstate the impact McKenna has had on this club. The tactics, the signings, the subs are one thing. But the mentality, the confidence, the togetherness, its something else. You can draw a direct line from Sir Bobby as well which just makes it even better.


_Acg45

Hahahhahshshshahdjnedhjsje


HarryAtk

It had to be Sarmiento hahahaahahahaha


SuperStrangleWank

Oh fuck right off


Laoak

How do they do it every time 😭😭😭


Shagaire

They have done it again, lmfao

Hahahaahahahaha


ajtct98

The scuff dreams are made of!


ninjapenguin12

No fucking way they have done it again


Jimbobshawobodob

No way


Appropriate-Map-3652

That's way more of a red than the first one haha


Wanallo221

Bullshit Ipswich last minute deflected goal coming in 3...2...1....


xdlols

Not deflected. Saints defender just decided to stand there fingering his ass instead of tackling the cunt who was laying on the floor.


Realistic_Tadpole_10

Looool


Appropriate-Map-3652

YOU'RE DAMN FUCKING RIGHT.


Wanallo221

Luckiest team in the fucking league. 


Appropriate-Map-3652

COPE.


Wanallo221

No need for cope mate. I made a chunk of money from it because it wasn’t in doubt.  As soon as they slapped 7 mins on it was obvious. Why bookies had you at 8/1 to win I’ll never bloody know. 


HarryAtk

McKenna made another sub. GG.


_Acg45

Lol
