    I'm not going to turn it back on. Turned it off about 20 mins ago at 0-0.

    Yesterday, I didn't watch the Leeds game until I turned it on as Piroe stepped up with a Pen.

    We will be second at 10pm tonight if i keep the TV off.

    That is just daft IMO. If you feel we can close the 7 point we can close the 10 point gap. Meanwhile, we stay in 2nd with an Ipswich loss.

    Hate the way the commentators keep saying we’ll be delighted. Not especially.

    I always worry about what is below and above within 6 points.

    Let's get Ipswich (and Leeds) below my worries and I'll start looking a bit higher.

    We could be. And I don’t really think this game will dictate whether we can take Ipswich. I just hate Leicester, the arrogance of a lot of their fans, Vardy and the 9-0 bollocks. Three points each that season on the two games we played.

    I would like Leicester to lose 9-0 but Ipswich not to get the points.

    I would like Leicester to lose 9 - 0 to someone like Rotherham.

    I don't like Leicester either but I'd much rather go up with them than not at all so needs must.

    The atmosphere in this game is no better than St Mary’s. I think grounds with great atmospheres are just rare these days.

    I was hoping for 90mins of violent melees with the game suspended because both sides have been reduced to 7.

    I'd take a draw here, we made 2 points on both of them this weekend if that's the case. Its an ugly game at the moment and Ipswich playing the ugliest parts of it. Be surprised if they finish with 10.

    Couldn't care less about Leicester as long as we're in the right slot at the final whistle of this season.

    That is literally impossible as once one side goes down to 7 they forfeit and the game is over!

    the final 2 red cards would be issue simultaneously during a mutual headbutt.

    A quick reminder that (in my opinion) tonight's result is pretty insignificant in the overall chances of us going up.





    Also a reminder that everyone is entitled to your opinion and to enjoy any game you watch with whatever viewpoint you want, even if others tell you you're daft, crazy or ridiculous to have such a view.

    Feels like I'm watching a repeat of the reverse fixture from last month. Leicester largely dominant for an hour, but only with a 1-0 lead to show for it. Ipswich then start to grow into the game.

    Last time it lead to them equalising with the final kick...
