Ooooooffffff that was a good move.

I’ve no idea what you’re referring too or what you think was achieved by booting the ball away.

You want to see us loose our heads and pick up pointless bookings?

They can f**k off with their booing, they were happy to play on when they had the ball. The ref too, FFS.

Get in, f**king brilliant!

Thumping finish but far too much time there. A shame as we’d been playing well up until then.

A good job we are then really, isn’t it.

Perhaps it was hoped that he would be able to play both games but having assessed his fitness since Boro it has been decided that on the balance of things, it's better in the long run to have him on the bench. All the matches are important, they're all worth three points.

It remains to be seen where exactly they line up on the pitch but who would you rather played? Manning?

It's fairly obviously fitness related, one way or another. Clearly he has been assessed as not ready to play twice in four days.

Nice to see we can have a fun, light-hearted April fools thread, without needing to turn it into another whining, cry baby, political thread. Top work chaps!

You can if you like, it won’t be relevant to the point at hand. You can’t simply say that Leicester will smash us because they failed to convert a shedload of chances, when we’ve done exactly the same on numerous occasions this season. Stick Lambert and Sharp at the top of this team and we’d have put double figures past someone.

I like how you’ve only applied that logic one way.

Yep, just seen him share a photo of an Emirates plane with Hants tagged in it, so I’m guessing he’s on his way. Presumably he’ll be living in the Hilton again.

I vaguely recall our very own Lucy Pinder being on WL years back on a models special, back in the Anne Robinson days. The questions were... let's just say calibrated towards those specific contestants. I seem to remember Lucy not getting a single one wrong and immediately getting voted off by the other girls for not being denser than a neutron star. Sadly this was in the days before you could pause live TV, so Lucy was gone before I could erm...

I'd rather have a 90 year old prawn sandwich.

He was meant to come out earlier but his spaceship got held up at border control.

Jones would have won 3-0.

A month ago most neutrals would have said Millwall aren’t beating Southampton away. Last night someone said sticking a tenner on Leeds was like printing free money. Whatever the odds are, anything can happen in any given game.

Scotsmen writing 'A' instead of 'I' when typing in the first person. You've literally misspelled a one letter word.

Pulling your small one is never a poor decision, IMO.

Bookmakers have a word for people like you; welcome.

I would happily drive Che Adams to Shakhtar Donetsk, if they wanted him, then stay for three days to help him build IKEA furniture.

We are though, aren’t we. It’d be a brave man to bet on us but we’re not out of it.

Fraser definitely, that’s a fair point. Brooks I want to say yes but I’d like to see a bit more consistency. There were games like Millwall where he was nonexistent. Mason Holgate has 126 PL apps for Everton (and 1 rather hilarious app for Sheff Utd), I can’t say that’s a particularly accurate barometer. Ultimately I think Bednarek, Stephens and most of the others mentioned are decent Championship player, nothing more. That’s my reasoning for my initial assertion that the playoffs are the bare minimum, rather than top two. If we come 4th with a points total that would have beaten the Blades last season then so be it. Not great, not terrible.
