Isn't the Champions League final being played there then?

Yeah it will be delayed a week and played at another ground as I think Wembley is booked for Champions League final. Think it’s West Ham’s ground that’s been considered from what I read

Bristol city beat Leicester who seem intent on bottling it

Arguably the biggest bottle job since the Wolves? I can't remember another team doing so badly but I may be wrong. Even under Bilic we still went up automatically.

Plymouth beating Norwich 1-0. Hopefully Plymouth and Stoke can take points today

It could end being Dingle-esque.

I'd forgot how rotten we were under Bilic at end of that season. Until now

After today's results, looking like Norwich and Coventry are our main rivals for play-off places. At the bottom, the 3 Yorkshire clubs in relegation spots with Blues hovering just above.

I had Ipswich down to fade away after Xmas, but it looks like the other 3 in the top 4 are doing a better job of cocking it up

Leicester are shocking, I said it they've flattered to deceive all season. I'd rather play them than Ipswich or Leeds.

That said Norwich if they win these next 2 games they're definitely ones to watch

We need a win today 100%

KingKoren · « **Reply #8887 on:** April 01, 2024, 01:53:29 PM »

Spoke too soon.

Leicester have absolutely battered Norwich.

2-1 up now. Good result for us if it stays like this.

alex1 · « **Reply #8888 on:** April 01, 2024, 02:09:52 PM »

Leicester still winning. They seem to make habit of bringing Vardy on for last 15 minutes.

alex1 · « **Reply #8889 on:** April 01, 2024, 02:20:22 PM »

Norwich sitting deep in their defensive shape, whilst Leicester more than happy just rolling the ball around keeping possession.

Leicester are not shocking but have been on a poor run. Definitely one of the best teams in this division.

Vardy 3-1...
I wouldn't mind Norwich in Play Offs

Would only be in a final, no way either of us are finishing 4th

Looking more and more like a Saints v West Brom play off.

Probably the one team I don't want to play - especially over two games. Hopefully Carlos has done his homework on them and learned from his mistakes.

Both cementing both positions. Some say they want them the least but if we didn’t have them over 2 legs then would you rather have them in a final at Wembley? Saints were very lucky to beat us at St Mary’s.

I think we it’s just a lottery so it really doesn’t matter who we get as any of the teams above us have huge threats.

I’d agree they all carry huge threats but I only feel that Southampton have outplayed us (at the hawthorns) . We can compete with anyone but as you say it’s really a lottery.

Today didn’t look too great for us at a few points so Leeds grabbing two late goals vs Hull and us snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat means we’ve ended up having a pretty good weekend. If we won we’d have probably had 1.8 feet in the play offs.

Norwich, Coventry, Hull and Preston all lose and Middlesborough aren’t quite out of it while Cardiff are still there too, just.

Ian Foster sacked by Plymouth. Short and not sweet

Leicester report loss of 89.7m for 22/23 season.
