    Silva will be fuming after the game. Two big calls go in Ipswich's favour (and it would have three had it not been for VAR).

    Both calls were tight, and could easily have gone the other way, but for both to against his team will be tough to take.

    I think it was an Ipswich penalty (but a very soft one as you say), but more importantly I think it should have been an Ipswich red card in the first half.

    I only turned it not long before the Fulham pen so didn't see the first half incident.

    I'm sure it's why Wilson was so angry at the referee not awarding his penalty, because it was also Wilson who was taken down in the non-red card incident.

    Another penalty!

    Could turn out to be a defining point in Ipswich's season that.

    You become an Ipswich fan now? I'd much rather Ipswich come down with us than Wolves or Everton.

    Don't think they will but Everton would be my first choice to come down so we can visit the new ground.

    I'm been debating this in my own mind for a while, and I can't decide.

    Wolves and Everton are, to an extent, both rotten inside - although maybe Everton's recent takeover will change that for them. They both lack talent who they could sell for decent money (maybe just Pickford, Cunha, and Ait-Nouri?). The rebuild which either of them would have to go through would be significantly bigger than Ipswich, who would pretty much be ready to attack the Championship from the word go.

    But Wolves and Everton are unquestionably both bigger teams.

    I'm really not sure which of them I would prefer to join us (and Leicester).

    I was born there and a lot of my family support them. But regardless, I would prefer that the three promoted teams don't always get relegated every season. Kind of sucks the soul out of football.

    Would love to see Everton go down, even if it means the Champ would be more difficult.

    Plus, imagine condemning Everton to relegation in the last ever game at Goodison park...

    Yeah and in so doing we reach 12 points. Who says there's nothing left to play for?

    We're already the last away teams to win at Maine Road and WHL. Be nice to add Goodison to that list.

    We did that at Roker Park, I was there Tuesday 22 Apr 1997, we won 1-0 scored by Egil Ostenstad which kept us up, they went down.

    Didn't know that but you're right we were. Another one to add to the list.
