Could be 0-4 and its 1-0 courtesy of a lucky ricochet in the box. The other "shot" was a cross that hit the bar.
Its like watching Ipswich Town all over again

Luck is a massive reason they have only conceded 9 goals this season.

Very harsh on Ipswich, they played to win.

Not like this lot, never liked parker since that mcd advert he did when he was a kid

Indeed Ipswich played to win but in terms of luck i have never ever seen a luckier team.

Leicester meanwhile who won this league, are 3 nil down at HT to Brentford and are 45 mins away from breaking a Premier league record (6 straight home defeats without scoring)

The gulf between the leagues is massive right now. Sheff Utd, Burnley and Sunderland have next to no chance of survival.

Forest 3rd
Bournemouth 5th
Fulham 8th
Villa 9th ( in later stages of champions league)
Brentford 10th

All been promoted recently.


Just think, the last couple of years, there been a load of basket cases of clubs, getting promoted

His SW weren’t 3-0 up is a mystery!

Ignoring a lot of context though. Leicester cheated their way to the title by over spending and finding loopholes.

It meant that they had to sell their best player as soon as they were promoted though and were still very lucky to get away without a points hit this season. Made their summer transfer window very difficult and I expect us to do much better and keep our best players.

Not sure what happened in the summer for Leicester.

Okoli £13m started 10 games
Skipp £20m started 7 games
Goulding £5m started 0 games
Khanouss £20m started 15 games
Koulibaly £3m started 0 games
Fatawu £14m injured
Cordova-reid £0m started 5 games

Received £40m for Dewsbury and Cannon.

Perhaps paid for their financial PSR issues of previous season or two

Id like to think leeds will have a net spend greater than £35m if we get up

posted on 21/2/25

To say they have only conceded 9 goals all season, they have been ripped too shreds tonight

posted on 21/2/25

Better finishing and we would be out of sight. Never a 3 nil game this. Our season has been full of missed opportunities.

This title race ain't over.

Ridiculous

Benson, Edward's and Brownhill change everything. They looked Premier League in the second half

Burnley nil riding their luck but nevertheless starting to rectify that label just reminds us if we needed reminding that they like Shef Utd are going to stick with us like a bad smell until at least game 44 where I think we'll clinch our automatic spot but Monday night's hyped up humdinger I think will be a similar match up to the recent Burnley bore
draw and the importance of not losing for both sides will dictate.

So plenty of life left in this title race with realistically only 3 horses in contention and another high points total needed it seems for the top 2 and my 93 point prediction may not be enough...96 points you'd think will be though so 8 more wins...simples!!!

We lose on Monday,then it's all up for grabs, not the cakewalk many are predicting.

We lose we are still 4 points ahead and you can add a point for goal difference.

Remember after that SU and Burnley gave to play each other.

Ture Macca. A draw on Monday puts us 5 ahead of Burnley, which means they will need two more wins than us in the remaining games to win the Championship. Now that they have goalscorers in the team, I expect them to win more games. Their defence is ridiculous, though. If we had Trafford, we would be home and hosed by now.

Surprised by that score line.

Was hoping Sheff Wed would do them.

Stuff it. I'm channeling my inner LIW and not
losing hope at all, ever. Reckon we'll beat
Sheff U Monday and laugh our way to May.



Can't stand that tw 4 t in the designer rain jacket.
