WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE US AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE US AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BELIEVE US WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Please keep this thread on topic thx

Sonebody will be along in a minute to tell how actually that Leeds result is brilliant for us or something.

Agree. This, for me, is the priority. Get to the Leeds game with it being completely meaningless. They can't leapfrog us but also they can't allow someone else to overtake us if we lose/draw. Leeds dropping more points to Preston today would help that.

For everyone doing the "I want us to win the title" stuff, well great. That means we go on the greatest points run in Championship history, we will need to smash 100 points all day long. If you think we're going to do that, if you truly believe that, why do you need Leicester to lose on Monday to make that possible? I believe in us, we're going to win the league, go for it all or nothing we want the title but pwease pwease pwease can that other team lose. Man up lads, we're breaking fucking records or we're not. Make your minds up.

Except Ipswich beating Leicester at the King Power will give them a huge boost of confidence and momentum. Ipswich, who have had a tough set of fixtures, they win and "suddenly their mentality and focus changes" - they will be ten feet tall. I just want us to be second today, tomorrow and next week. We've earned it. I'd rather we finished second and got promoted than finish third in any scenario. Your "I'd rather finish third going for it" seems to suggest that the "going for it" just seems to involve, er, a particular team losing to another team on Monday night. What's the point indeed. Leicester to win as that is much, much better for us right now.

And so will begin the greatest era in our history.

Sound the shoehorn.

Will be tactically fascinating. I expect both teams to finish on 70% possession.

Thanks for putting this, I've got one, nice short drive to an away so very pleased with that. Cheers (still four left)

I think this will be right. My understanding is a standing area in safe standing has to take up the same space as a seat. So the capacity doesn't change, you don't fit more in. And the club have to spend money ripping seats out and replacing them with railings etc. There's not much in it for the club economically. Demand for standing will be high, so I doubt there will be any reason at all for them to be cheaper. People will want them. If people thought they wanted standing to save themselves ticket money, prepare to be disappointed.

Beat me to it, I looked before and it was way more than half of clubs in Championship put their away fans behind the goal - I've done Stoke, Coventry and Wednesday this season and behind the goal all three times. Not sure why people are desperate to pretend it is some unique thing to Southampton.

West Ham needed Flynn Downes tonight.

We're all very sorry that your appeal hearing didn't go the way you wanted. All we can say is for you to keep your nose clean, keep working hard and try again for the Summer Window circle recruitment process. All the best 👍 👌

There are a few on here that want Ipswich to win on Monday to dump us back into third and give Ipswich the biggest shot of confidence and self-belief they can wish for, nicely sat in second into February.

The missing piece of the jigsaw.

This hard-working mega grafting machine you are describing completed one entire full season as a top flight football club Chairman. One. When he cried off from that he never ever again worked in top flight football ever, ever again. An easy life without effort or responsibility, indeed.

Well, only a couple of hours ago we were having serious discussions about admitting you to the entry-level Outer Circle (provisional*). I'm sorry to say you have set yourself back months with that outburst. *by formal invitation.

We just trundle on from "typical us we're going to lose because it's our former assistant manager" to "typical us we're going to lose because it's our managers return to his former club" Look, we're going to win and be second all weekend long.

You're making out 7 is a small number. If Leicester drop down to Norwich/Preston levels let's say they get 14 points from the next ten. Their form at this point would stink. We carry on motoring at 2 points a game - BREAKING RECORDS - we still don't overtake them in 10 games time because we'd still be say at least four points behind them. It's not really about what we do. It's about what Leicester are not going to do. They're not going to suddenly be as shit as Preston.

But surely that supports my point not yours? We're on a historical record breaking run, nine home wins on the spin and we are STILL not top 2. Because we fucked ourselves in September and lost momentum and gave ourselves too much to do. Ipswich are on a dogshit run of one win in six or whatever it is and they ARE still top 2. For Leicester to smash 90 points they don't even have to try to be Leicester for the rest of the season, they can bimble about being Norwich or Preston and they will still do it. To overtake Leicester we need to carry this run going for the entirety of the season. Fine if we do it and Leicester completely fuck it see you in May and you can gloat then.

No. Leicester are going break all the records, they are finishing top. We're keeping pace with normal top 2 standard and still nowhere near them. We need Leicester to do Ipswich a soul destroying 4-0.

Really shows that Leicester are the anomaly this season - Us and Ipswich have very similar points to Burnley and Sheff United achieved last year.

Correct - as part of his own learning process, Russell Martin tweaked and evolved his approach, the style of play is different, and we're playing much better now then before. Because we are a bit more direct and a bit more clinical. Russell Martin himself has developed a lot in six months, from a manager who has only ever delivered 10th place nothingness he is on the verge of the first top 6 (minimum) of his entire career. Occam's razor indeed.
