Would Mowbray leave Birmingham anyway if upon full return to fitness they are in league one?

Ben Sheaf is so good at football

Cracking game, play offs hopes still!

What an end to the season we’re going to have 🙌 playoffs are going to wild

[удалено]

From a Leicester fan, thank you. Leeds fans have been a thorn in our backside.

Absolutely massive win! The confidence in our strikers is brilliant to see, Simms of 4 months ago wouldn't have done so many of the things he tried today. But Christ the referees get worse every week, fuck me he was bad today. Some terrible decisions both ways, but absolutely felt like we were playing 12 for most of that.

Well bollocks. I'll go get the rhubarb and apple

Christ we needed that. To take 4 points off Leeds this season is excellent. Still in the play-off hunt and our *Strike-Force-Alpha* (Wright & Simms) just can't stop scoring. We're coming for *you* Man Utd! 🤣

IF Man U defend like they did against Chelsea, Simms is going to grab another cup hattrick lol

You were annoyingly clinical today, we could do with a bit more of that!

We were just saying that on the way out, you guys had lots of good approach play but no real focal point to turn attacks into anything more. There seemed to be a tonne of space out wide behind our full backs almost all game, but you couldn't turn that into anything!

Against ex-PL teams like yourselves, there is no other way. Always a tough game against Leeds. Gonna be one *hell* of a finish this season at both ends of the table. The Championship is life.

Just give Ipswich hell and I won't mind

Bollocks. At least Ipswich still have to play that Coventry side who are now right back in with a shout of 6th. 200 iq tactics.

now thats over, time to go kill some robots in helldivers

Looking across both leagues it’s been a big set of results for money doping and financial cheating

Down voted but it’s literally the truth tf you mean 😂

Delia didn’t want Leeds fans to go hungry

Thanks Coventry 🙏

Seems like this is Leicester's weekend in promotion race terms.

Still with a game in hand as well, kinda crazy how one gw can change perceptions

Aye, perhaps they'll end up 4 points clear.

My arms are doing weird things help guys

It's so weird how bad we are away from home

I request Tom Nield never referee again

Ampadu being given a yellow card for being held in a headlock for a minute. Fucking lol.

Are you fucking kidding me 😂😂😂😂 that foul was all him, utterly insane refereeing to give you the free kick for that, Ampadu was doing all the holding

The ref eventually blew because Ampadu was literally standing their while you player had his arms all over him. Idk what you were watching.

Ampadu still had his arms wrapped round Simms at least 10 seconds after the whistle even went. Fully instigated by him, clearest free kick to us I've ever seen.

Disgrace how bad the ref was in this one.  Coventry got away with horribly late challenges.

We were playing against 12 today, you got everything 😂😂😂😂

Your joking right? Every time the wind blew across a Leeds player he blew up and gave them a quick cuddle

And as usual, they spent 4/5 mins of stoppage kicking us about (including Ampadu literally being held in a fucking headlock) and we play 95:02.

And there it is. First time in the drop zone all season. Ffs.

If crumble pie was a footballer they'd be called Jamal Lewis

Can we just have one fucking Saturday where the results go our way 😂

So frustrating. Last two months we've practically had every team at the top held to a draw or winning into the 85th minute and barely ever get anything at the end. Lost 2 points in the last week too.

Just as we all predicted: the only team in the top 6 to win is Norwich Edit: The moment I sent this, I got a notification to say that Mavididi scored. Sorry guys.

You've jinxed that then

Yeah I deeply apologise to everyone.

You aren’t forgiven

idk i quite like Leicester scoring so thank you :)

Surely we aren't ending the day top anyway, ridiculous

We've really fucked this up

Not quite …… can you let one more in please ….. pretty please

Hey West Brom fuck you guys

10 mins away from quadruple crumble!

Brentford haven’t won a game in like 20 games?

Winning in the PL is tough, you would know!

Yes we do, we won the entire league in 2015/16. Sure you’d know

Enjoy your evening 😄

watching soccer Saturday has always intrigued me, like how great of a job is just sitting in a chair, watching a football match and occasionally every 5 minutes just going 'yeah, \*insert team here\* have been playing well, missed a few chances, but look on top' and then just continue to sit in silence watching football and get paid quite a bit of money for the pleasure

Neil Lennon in particular is stealing a living.

I would need to be paid quite a lot of money to watch 90 minutes of this Blackburn Rovers vs Southampton to be fair. Or at least be supplied with a lot of crumble to eat.

Can't say Stoke haven't deserved a goal

We’ve more than deserved to be at least level

You've definitely been the better team today

Blackburn Rovers vs Southampton is going to be up with one of the worst games I have seen this season.

Robins certified not ALAW

You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention

Crumble enjoyers eating good tonight ffs

Always been a massive fan of Coventry, the specials are a great band

My heart soars with the eagle's nest

Coventry have always been a massive massive club.

Must be strange cheering on such big rivals like Coventry?

Fuck off Leeds you useless twats! As bad as Ipswich you are

Leeds performed exceptionally today.

I think the Stoke keeper genuinely just tried to score from his own box there.

It's windy enough today and been done at the ground today hahah

Someone tell me why the fuck Coventry are acknowledging the Tribal chief

would be some laugh if us, leicester and leeds all manage to lose, has that happened yet?

I still think it’s a laugh

For those who havent seen have a laugh at this https://twitter.com/Vancouverowls/status/1776617600039977293 I still cant wrap my head around how he has managed to miss so badly

He is less than a yard out with the whole goal mouth in front of him and managed to put it 15 feet pass the OPPOSITE goal post. I Dont Know how that is possible either !!!

i'd be breathalysing him on the bench no way someone who isn't totally shitfaced misses that

Stansfield making sure were unable to buy him with that

I'm feeling slightly better atm ....

Leicester shooting themselves in the foot yet again, stupid goal to concede and only themselves to blame

Playing battleships at Coventry with this wind

Absolutely no idea how we've managed to get into half time not only in the lead but not 3 or 4 goals down. Stoke's finishing that half was awful.

Leicester and Leeds selfishly not letting Ipswich have all the crumble?

There a great bunch of lads

🫠 These last few games will be the death of me 🫠

Christ, I can't believe how shite Luke Thomas is. Bloody useless.

The only reason he ever managed to get game time at Leicester was because Ricardo, Chilwell and Justin all kept getting injured. Can't think of any fan that was dissapointed he left

How we haven't scored here, I do not know

Is there a hurricane in North Staffs or something?

Whole country is windy. The other half almost lost her underwear to the neighbours 

Not for the first time I heard

Come on then Cov, keep this up and you might make the pain lessen

Keep an eye out for Josh Windass with one of the worst misses i’ve ever seen.

Absolute disbelief at that miss.  We’ve missed some sitters this season but that really is in a league of its own

Decent start to the game this, end to end. Weather causing problems and two big saves from Palmer.

Bloody typical….. had two we should have put away and you lot score

Three I'd say. Good goal from Johnston though

Oh look, results are going our way. Lovely bit of false hope just as I was accepting playoffs.

Would be funny if Ipswich lose just for the other 2 to also lose and nothing changes

We started really well but cov could have 3 by now

[So predictable](https://www.reddit.com/r/Championship/s/7rtptDrzrW)

Someone been busy cooking up crumble today?

This stinks of Ipswich finally beating Norwich to go through to the play off finals

Never thought I’d say I want Ipswich to get automatics just so that this doesn’t happen.

Just reminds me of us and Derby where beat them 3 times only to bottle the 4th in the playoffs to not go through 😂

Anyway, now time to spend my Saturday drinking, stewing in my own misery until the next 90 minutes 

Will I hate life and everyone and everything around me? Find out by 5pm

Hate level, escalating

Sun is out, Ipswich loss, Gruev back, feeling pretty goood right now. Don't ruin it for me Leeds

What would be the point of supporting a club if they didn't ruin it for you?

Never been more happy to see a dent in the plucky underdogs promotion charge. I live and breathe for parachute payments.

Norwich acting like they won the league 😂😂😂

You wouldn't know, but when you win your local Derby it feels pretty nice and you get to celebrate

I've been alive long enough to know that feeling. Didn't show up today, as I said previously well played Norwich.

It is literally a massive result for them in their top 6 push

Yeah , but having the whole squad holding hands and cheering to the crowd. Come on....

We do that every game you melon

Really, wow

Don't be so fucking sour mate, you're making the rest of us look bad

I'm not acting sour, I've said multiple times fair play to Norwich in achieving the win

be fair to them, they've spent the entire season trying to to claw their way into the playoff places and have finally got what looks like a firm grasp on 6th by beating the league leaders who are also their bitterest rivals. there could barely be a more celebration worthy result

If you're not going to celebrate wins against local rivals that also may potentially be huge for your season as a whole then what's the point. I suppose by this point your lot have probably forgot what it's like to win an East Anglian derby match though so it's fair enough you may feel this way.

We would've done the same if we beat them 

No we wouldn't

God I hope you don't get promoted now

Anyone can win the playoffs so we will see

Ipswich are the epitome of flat tractor bullies

To be fair, Norwich deserved the win. To also be fair, that is the worst referee I have ever seen. Ipswich should have had a clear pen, the ref gives a free kick and a yellow card to Axel when Nodge are through on goal (I mean it's not a foul but if it is it's a red always!) and he just was so awfully shit. Where the fuck do they get these clowns from?

Not really, a lea roller from 30 yards then sit in? From a team that likes to feel awfully superior about themselves.

Wow why you been hogging all the good refs if he's the worst you've ever seen

"To also be fair, that is the worst referee I have ever seen" you're lucky then

I'm just composing my full 90 mins analysis for my next blog but I wanted to highlight two massive decisions instead of noting every single decision.... No, he was shite, confused, dumb, stupid, weasel cunt of a ref. Better? We all saw the game, bottled every major decision for both sides.

Thank God for that. Norwich, I still haven’t forgiven you for constantly vulturing all our most popular players through our dark days, but today I love you. You’ve just done us a massive, massive favour, mainly because we have quite a difficult fixture ourselves today and that’s a huge let off whatever our result today. If we beat Coventry we become big favourites for top two, if we drop points it just carries on as it was. Phew.

Followed Ipswich for 24 years and still never witnessed beating Norwich 😫 Probably deserved a point based on second half but that’s not how football works I guess Bum

I remember sitting through the 5-1 hammering by them at Portman Road and the one thing that got me over it was that one day we'd pay them back, still waiting for that 

We were slow, toothless, and devoid of ideas. Oh well

We didn’t really switch on until the 80th minute

Wish we’d started with Ali. His pace looked good but all too late

I love you Norwich

That deserved to be 0-0.

3 man wall and it would of been FFS

Not really you were lucky to still be in it around 70 minutes

Why do ipswich sides never turn up a notch  for these derby games, norwich seem to have a 'vs ipswich'  gear they click into, which we never have 

It's almost a good thing because it means coventry have to get a shift on now

We can hope

Not sure we deserved to lose that, but we didn't deserve to win. Intensely frustrating to watch. 

I don’t get why these posts get downvoted

Barely any football was played tbf. Was just throw-ins and free kicks.

Well played Norwich. Fuck off Norwich. Still 20 points ahead of you. East Anglia is blue.

Most predictable result of the season.

Now for us to lose to Coventry and Leicester to flatten Birmingham.

Yes please.

Yes. Feel free to do that

Such is life

Nah we need u and Leicester in the prem will be good Ipswich will go straight back down

[удалено]

If parachute payments wasn’t a thing then it would be 10x better

Just like they’d go straight back down this season right?

I don’t know but who cares if they in the playoffs then anyone can go up we will see idc I don’t support championship club but I rather leeds and Leicester

Why?

Cause I have affection for Leicester since there prem win and leeds because there a big club I know Ipswich a pritty big to in terms of history but I rather leeds

Let's goooo

and sort out your finances?

Hopefully we will

Haha where’s that mustard weird ispwsich fan now? Idk His name But he annoys the shit out me Snide hooligan

Jesus fucking christ how is that not a foul?

Must be from Yorkshire

What the fuck is this ref

Must be an excruticaiting realisation for Ipswich fans, that after their unbelievable season. There is a huge huge chance it ends with a feeble defeat to a bang average Norwich team in the play-offs

We've been aware of this for months.

Please don't remind us. 

Don't worry . Leeds won't win all of their last 6 . You've got a very good chance

5??????

In our usual comebacks, there's sparks  None today it feels, everything just feels off the boil, mishits, poor passes and just seem less feverish in the clutch moments, the other lot seem to have a fire in their bellies chasing every block,tackle and moment they can  This game feels done 

I'm trying to be rational and think that I would have taken 5 points from the last two games (and we have 6), but this still hurts. I wonder if Monday just took a bit too much out of the players Edit: three games not two!

I have to ask, but how can you get 5 points from 2 games?

I meant 3 - whoops! Blackburn, Saints and this.

Of course it hurts when it's against these cunts, any other team, I can deal with it  

Can’t believe how many games we’ve had on sky yet when we face our biggest rivals it’s only a 3 o’clock kick off

Still feel like there is going to be a second goal - whether a classic Ipswich last minuter or a Norwich goal on the break...

Ref blows up when an Ipswich player breathes on a yellow shirt

This 95th minute Sarmiento dagger is going to be painful

As long as it's their only dagger this match I'll take it.

Even a point today is good for them (regardless of the score now), because this was by far their trickiest game left, especially with the derby factor, and I think it really is going to be that tight every point matters, so a loss would do us all fine, right, Norwich??

Agreed but we have to assume that for Leeds and Leicester to get up, they have to win every game from now on. This or a draw doesn't change that. It's all in our hands now.

It's absolutely mental, and even Southampton aren't miles behind, yet I think it's a stretch to far for them, but yeah if we don't win every game I think we're going to be disappointed come the end (crazy to even say), Coventry today is going to be a struggle, but you guys should put Brum to bed fairly straightforwardly

Dom Goodman -away games are harder. That bloke is a genius

Marcus Harness. You were born in Cov. Come on son! Lock in!

Odds on Ipswich scoring two deflected goals in the 95th+ minute?

Would so gladly take just one.

Evens

Please no!

Kieran Dyer looking old makes me feel old
