    Yeah we need to keep going, the reason that we have fallen behind other than our form is because Ipswich and Leeds clung on when we were in good form, now we need to do the same and wait for them to falter.

    If we can’t do that then we simply don’t deserve autos.

    It's been a very good season apart from two limited bad patches, all we can do now is try to win every game and even if we miss out we will at least be in great form for the play-offs.

    Also, if we hadn't had a 21 game (in the league) unbeaten run and just had say three loads of 7 games unbeaten we wouldn't be so concerned. Would still be good form. We have lost 3 in 26 in the league. Not too shabby form really.

    Aribo won the Scottish Prem with Rangers, and Stuie won it with Celtic four times.

    Shouldn’t that be a points deduction like for everyone else that breaches financial rules?

    Well at the moment they haven't been found to have breached the rules. The EFL wanted them to submit a financial plan to see how they could avoid the breach. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens next.

    Except the decision is that they haven’t.

    Don’t let that stop a witch hunt. Does having an ex Man City manager mean they use the same lawyers. Just asking for a friend.

    WBA are very lucky there. Should be down to 10 men and facing a second penalty.

    If Leicester go up and are found guilty this will cause an almighty ****storm for which one (or two) of the top 4 don't go up.

    Potential banana skin for Leeds tomorrow night. Away to Sheffield Wednesday. They should win, but Wednesday are in great form too so hopefully they will make a game of it. Wednesday have the third best form in the league over the last 5 games, only bettered by Leeds and Ipswich. If Leeds do win, they'll jump back into second and 9 points ahead of us! Albeit we'll be back to the scenario of having 2 games in hand again. We absolutley have to beat Sunderland on Saturday!

    Would rather have the points than games in hand. After last nIghts events, the run in is getting complicated.

    This Leicester story is a bit **** isn’t it. Sounds like no chance that they will get penalised this season. Promoted by essentially cheating, get 200m for going up and maybe end up with a deduction and disrupted squad next season. Stupid stupid system.
