Think Leeds will beat them comfortably.

Prices are ridiculous for a Semi Final, going to be empty seats galore this weekend as a result, not from us but City and Chelsea. Won’t be a good look for the FA seeing swathes of red seats in their ends. Hopefully it’s enough for them to start seriously considering moving away from Wembley again.

Can we give him to Pompey, like as a gift?

Still need to aim for 3rd or 4th though to ensure we get the home game for the second leg. Don’t fancy a Tuesday night trip to Boro.

Embarrassingly easy. Fucking midget

All very ifs, buts and maybes, but Its very gutting thinking that 97th minute winner we conceded at Millwall could be the goal that pips them to the post ahead of us.

Yeah it was to go a whole calendar year unbeaten in the league, top vs bottom, on the 30th December and they fucking beat us 1-0. Sure they had that skate bastard David James in goal too.

Thoughts the craziest part, how has VAR not got involved for that.

I know it was Burnley but that’s a hell of a result for Forest, especially after a Thursday game, maybe picking up a little bit of form when it matters. If West Ham get a result at Palace tomorrow that is an awful weekend for Spurs.

Right I’m with you! Ok I was under the impression that no matter what happens we needed Ipswich to not win today nor their game in hand, then then the GD debate becomes a non issue. All this is pointless of course if Millwall carry on the way they are.

Even If they’d lost today the most they could get is 87.

We’d be level on points but they still have a game in hand which we’d need them not to win. Even if they draw that we’d have played the same number of games but they’ll be 2 ahead, of course meaning we could overtake them with a win at St Mary’s against them. That would mean the GD issue isn’t a problem.

Indeed. Even if Ipswich had lost today we’d still be relying on them not winning their game in hand so I consider today a decent result for us as it keeps us ahead of Boro.

Full time, we’ve gained 2 points on Ipswich then, good result IMO

Draw would be ok right?

That was a pen

Makes sense tbf, Downes was walking a tightrope

Tonda has got some work to do today! This is pretty wank all over.

Fuck sake Wood

I bet they’ll be quiet as a fucking mouse with our numbers, and then they’ll tell everyone in a few years how they chased us across London.

I’m hoping by being in a safe standing seat, that people are indeed going to stand, and not sit down and moan they can’t see because others are standing right?

They’ve paid the stadium off now, time to get the semis back on the road. My first ever away game was at Villa. Seeing the Holte End for the first time as a lad having only ever been to The Dell blew my tiny little mind. Almost the capacity of our ground in one stand. Perhaps slightly too small by modern standards for a Semi Final?

Yeah the points deduction caused a lot of uproar at the time, not so much the fact that we got one, but the way the Football League didn’t action it straight away and left it hanging over us if we went down. Administrators were threatening legal action as they believed it could put off potential buyers. That didn’t happen of course thankfully but we did miss out on the playoffs as a result of the minus ten. Lord Mawhinney was the fucker in charge of the Football League at the time, he had the “honour” of being presented to the team before the JPT final kicked off and was roundly booed. Back to West Brom they’re fuming apparently as they’d been working directly with the EFL for the last 2 years to ensure they stayed within their means with regards to PSR, and whoever the EFL appointed has missed something that led to the breach. If it is a points deduction and it leads to a relegation that will drag on for a while with appeals. By all accounts we got Fellows at a cut price as they had no choice but to let him go. Not that it feels like we’ve had much of a bargain so far.

Got a decent applause from the Northam/ Itchen when he came over to take a corner, shame he was quietly taken off at HT, didn’t get announced in the ground. Who is our match day announcer by the way, so fucking cringey, sounds like Mr Tumble. Still can’t believe he had a year in Turkey and came back still bald.

It’s criminal really that we lost to them away. If we don’t make the autos I’ll look at that and Oxford away as the two games that cost us.
