I'm getting bored of Ipswich winning too. (Leicester). Still, least we and leeds will probably both go up.
Haven't Ipswich just been promoted from the lower league last season too?

I'll take a win against a team in the playoffs. David Artell seems to have his head screwed on too. Was sad to see Paul Hurst go but he looks like a good appointment.

Fun game today. Fair first half but 3 mad goals in 10 mins killed the Plymouth lot. Fair play to their fans who are racking up the miles.
Would be great to see Ipswich go up tbh.

Think the top two will actually be decided before Christmas.

We just need to win by twelve tonight, and we could go third.

Seeing Ipswich get pummeled was fun. Mixed emotions seeing Farke mastermind it.

Hope Ipswich have been softened up for us on boxing day. Gutted I didn't go down for us v Rotherham today but Christmas shit gets in the way.
Hope us and Leeds go up. I enjoyed Elland road away last season because both sets of fans were fucking miserable and gallows humour all around.

Yeah if we can do Ipswich on boxing day, that would be sweet.
Still, top at Christmas etc

Preston’s tactic appears to be “kick the fuck out of everyone” and the ref seems pretty cool with that.

That’s more like it. Ipswich dropping more points later would be handy.

One of those incidents today that really frustrates with the laws of the game. Meslier and a Preston attacker get in a bit of a scuffle, another Preston player runs 30 yards to do a big two handed shove in Meslier’s chest, Meslier puts a hand on the guy’s face with no real force, who then drops to ground and rolls over three times whilst holding his face. Meslier gets a straight red, Preston player walks away unpunished.
Not blaming the ref, I get that they’re the rules. But the fact that raising a hand to an opponent with no force is a straight red, but running half the pitch to shove an opponent, bait a reaction then commit shameless simulation is fine just seems absurd. What Meslier did wasn’t violent. It was fucking stupid, but the aggressor in the situation bought a red card and carried on and that just seems wrong.

Very fair. That's why the rules need to be super strict.
Ref blows, everyone else stay the fuck where you are.

Younger people have a more difficult time coping with red mist though.
But still, in that situation surely both players should be punished?

Leicester definitely winning the title. It’s one from three for second. Happy for Leicester to romp to it now if they can turn over Ipswich and Southampton on the way.

Can tell it's the inbetween bit of Christmas because I thought all the games were getting played today.

I dunno. We've practically got a new team here playing different football. How many players have changed now? Gotta be about 8 or so.

Weirdly, the defence is mostly the same. It's just organised better. Vardy has finally been given the boot. I'm fairly sure he'll retire at the end of this season - from English football, at least.
Daka is basically a new signing, along with actual new signings in Winks, Mavididi, Fatawu, Hermansen and a couple of other more squad players.
Also, it's the fucking championship. If we go up, there's no guarantee we won't be just another Burnley.

If we go up, there's no guarantee we won't be just another Burnley. True, but I have a fair bit of confidence that Enzo will adjust accordingly if we go up. As for the players, I can't remember them all that have gone but, Barnes, maddison, tielemans, soyunco, fofona, Evans, soumare. I'm sure there's more too. Amarty Excuse my spelling |
