    While I of course wish him well, that does make the trip to Birmingham a bit less tricky.

    If this does happen, which is pretty unlikely IMO, then Leicester would still be 5 points clear at the top of the table. Whilst it would make things interesting, I wouldn't really call that huge pressure.

    Leicester will win the league comfortably, the only reason they won't is if they start assuming the job is already done.

    Well, yes, I assumed your post was about that but I thought I would post confirmation.

    If you need any fat ladies to start tuning up, I've encountered a few in my time. Some of them could sing, as well

    Wish they’d wait to sack him until after we’ve played them.

    I'd call it huge pressure in comparison to what they've faced the rest of the season. They've been coasting all season knowing they can afford to lose a few here and there but if it drops to 5 points that'd be the smallest the gap has been since about September(?) with some tough fixtures coming up.

    As I say hugely unlikely but it's by no means the almost certainty that it has been all season should those results come to pass.

    Us and Ipswich will probably drop points tonight now <laugh>

    He lost the dressing room big time, it it alleged that when they lost he made them do extra training but took the day off himself.

    We now definitely want Leicester to beat Leeds on Friday. If we win our game against Millwall, we'll go above them again, despite all their tedious crowing.

    We more than gave it a good go mate!

    Arguably our worse performance since we played you lot early season.

    Never mind ... we'll help make it an exciting run in by winning at Elland Rd on Friday ... that's probably jinxed it! <laugh>

    It'll be exciting anyway. Loads of football to be played yet.
