25/26 - Non Saints Games

[coalman]

Nunez should be off there.

[coalman]

That should be a second yellow too if they're giving yellows for going down and grabbing the ball.

[coalman]

Should be a penalty there to Norwich as well.

[LiberalCommunist]

Well, I hope you are all happy. 

We seemingly broke Arsenal. 

 

lol

[Sheaf Saint]

It's over. Playoffs for us.

PS - any chance Steve could put 50p in the server?

Operation “Shit The Bed” has begun at Arsenal - as timely as ever 😂

Yep refs got all the big decisions wrong today. Never a pen for Ipswich, Nunez should have been sent off and pen for Norwich. Gave 11 yellow cards I think given what he was giving them out for Nunez 100% should have got a second. 
 

Norwich created nothing really so Ipswich in balance probably deserved the win but no doubt penalty changed the game, awful decision

Man City 2 games in hand with Arsenal at home next sunday oh dear 🙈🙈

Nunez is an absolute savage, how he's allowed on any sportsfield is a mystery to me.

[Baird of the land]

 

Disappointing that Norwich couldn’t get anything. Weren’t helped by the dodgy penalty, plus ref refusing to send off Nunez.

Where / how are wrexham gaining four (probably five to be certain) points on Hull to get to the playoffs?

Wrexham gaining four points on one team is a far, far more likely scenario than Saints gaining seven points on three different teams. The whole Saints finishing second dream was basically a nine-fold accumulator on:

Norwich vs Ipswich - Home win

Saints vs Derby - Home win

Saints vs Blackburn - Home win

Swansea vs Saints - Away win

Saints vs Bristol C - Home win

Saints vs Ipswich - Home win

PNE vs Saints - Away win

Ipswich vs Boro - Draw

Wrexham vs Boro - Home win

 

There are plenty of other permutations which could play out but you'd basically need to overhaul a combined 21 points on Ipswich, Millwall, Boro and Hull. If you add in a couple of draws for Saints, which is more than likely, then you start needing five or six more games for the teams above us to go our way.

The bookies had us down as having a 3% chance of automatic promotion before the Old Farm Derby today, I'd have said that was about right.

Not such a bad result, Ipswich are the one team I wouldn't want to face in the playoffs. The other candidates have been inconsistent recently, we can take them. If we lost to Ipswich on the final day and had them in the playoffs, that's a bad omen I feel.

May as well just write Man City will have three more points after they beat Arsenal next week.

We can all see it happening 😂

Oxford ahead Pompey on bottom 3 😎

33 years since Ipswich did the double in derby matches they say !
