Yep giving away such a poor late goal will be damaging as well. Hopefully Forest and WHU win then they’re really in the shit. 

Danso is getting a lot of stick online from their fans. I missed off their game at Villa, their hope might be that Villa prioritise the Europa and then they knacker the likes of Gibbs-White for Forest.

That was a game they really needed to win today after losing at Sunderland. If Forest beat Burnley at home tomorrow and West Ham get at least a point at Palace on Monday (got a feeling they’ll win) Spurs are running out of road.

Nearly over if they don’t win at Wolves. Chelsea will be spurred on by their crowd so it’s the home games with Leeds and Everton final day. Even if they win Wolves away, Leeds and Everton home, relying on West Ham slipping up and Forest collapsing. 

 

It is their turn for the drop to be honest, and given the mania of Levy over the years self-inflicted.  Will be a lot of delighted 'neutrals' if they are relegated which you have to say looks likely now.

Just a shame Everton have always got away with as they’ve deserved it a few times

Spurs blew the lead twice, huh? Quite funny after that celebration at 2-1

Relegated teams can't ever keep a lead. It reminds me of last season where I think we actually went ahead first quite a few times but we could never hold onto it.

Still 5 games to go, so results could easily go their way, but Tottenham dropping would be very interesting indeed...

Also, watching the Millwall-West Ham derby in the Premiership would be quite fun!

Simons might well have injured himself somewhere in his minute long celebration on top of a hoarding. 

Although he spent much of the remainder limping, he still managed to get in the way of their best chance of a winner.

I've only seen him in a couple of recent games, but Danso has been poor in them. Looking at that side he's not alone, and I'm fairly certain there's been enough individual errors to go round the club.

De Zerbi manhandling one of his coaches after Brighton hit the side netting, made him look like an unpleasant chap.

Said that during the game to Mrs and Son they remind me of us in 2005 the time we were 2-0 up home to Middlesbourgh in injury time yet still managed to draw 

I think they’ll go down they have that look of a team that nothing is going right for.

Keep editing. No teams you mentioned here play in the ‘Premiership’. 😂

Not sure what you mean, I was talking about if Spurs went down, West Ham stayed up and if Millwall achieved promotion

Calling MLG to this thread….

[Sheaf Saint]

Ipswich v Boro today then.

Is a heavy home defeat* followed by a mass brawl resulting in numerous injuries, red cards and a points deduction for each team for failing to control their players/fans too much to ask for?

 

 

* Edit: but not too heavy. Any more than 4-0 and Boro would go above us on GD.

Millwall manager previously managed Stoke. Hope that helps fire up Stoke on Tuesday. 

[S-Clarke]

I looked at Leicester and Spurs down there and thought, interesting to see....but no chance.

But it could actually happen you know. Leicester are all but gone, but if the results go against Spurs this weekend then it's looking a bit squeaky for them too.

[Saint NL]

I was sure that the Ipswich vs Boro game was at Boro. Ipswich are decent at home so surely a home win.

[Pilchards]

Praying for a Boro win.

If an Ipswich victory then it’s really gonna be tough for us to go up automatically.

[Sheaf Saint]

Matt Targett to score the winner for Boro today. It's written in the stars 😎

[coalman]

Boro look like they're going to gift a goal any minute.

Yep, they look shit. Can't imagine there's any chance of them getting something from the game.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

In fact, calling it now at 0-0. I think Ipswich will win by at least 4 goals.

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh hello!!!

[Colinjb]

Get in there 'Boro.

[beatlesaint]

Oooh !!

Boom. The system works.

Yes!

[Sheaf Saint]

Ah, fuck it. Nice while it lasted.

[Sheaf Saint]

Lovely goal to be fair.

Yeah Boro look like they're chasing shadows now. I'll be very surprised if they can avoid defeat here.

[Sheaf Saint]

Getting a bit narky now.

There's a red card in this unless they settle down at half time.

[Sheaf Saint]

HT. Boro looking a little better after Ipswich threatened to swamp them after the equaliser. 

If it stays like this I'll be happy.

[coalman]

Middlesbrough keep trying to take too many touches at both ends. Ipswich are just brutally direct when they get the ball but patchy. Tough one to call.

[Baird of the land]

Borough with plenty of psychotic Martin style defending

Their Cm keeps getting overrun

on the positive side they’ve looked threatening when they attack.

definitely more goals in this

[Mboto Gorge]

Draw here would still be very decent for us. Just can’t have an Ipswich win really. Won’t be over if they do win, but becomes about 50% less likely for us to get 2nd, so a huge swing

I'd like to see a replay of that handball shout 🧐

[Sheaf Saint]

Very even game. Despite Ipswich's dominance in parts, Boro have twice as many shots on target and a higher xG. 

Really could go either way, but the current scoreline is a fair reflection of the game so far.

[Saint_clark]

Fucking get in!

[Toadhall Saint]

Boro get in!!!!!

[Patches O Houlihan]

Boro again!

Come on Boro! 

Just saw they've brought on Sarmiento. Didn't he score Ipswich's winner against us at their place two years ago?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I thought Ipswich were going to win this earlier. But 'boro have fought and back in front. A trying but an Ipswich win will be good. But this is great if we can keep our own run going.

[macca155]

The stars are aligning

[SW11_Saint]

Get in Boro!!!

[Pamplemousse]

Just need Millwall to slip up... somewhere.

Another Boro goal would be handy for goal difference purposes but let's not get too greedy...

Watch Boro beat Sheff Wednesday 7-0 next week! 😂

[Saint_clark]

Couple of games ago I thought Millwall were a bigger threat than Ipswich when you look at the fixtures for each side.

Yeah. I don’t think they’ll win all of there’s 2 wins and a draw.

[Sheaf Saint]

Boro all over them now.
