Great set of results tonight. A win tomorrow is massive now. Would be one foot in the playoffs.

They have Eustace tomorrow at St Andrews. I think he will beat them due to knowing their weaknesses whilst also being solid at this level. It's ironic that after years of struggles with Carson Yeung, it will possibly their new, ambitious owners that relegate them.

They are playing Cardiff.

With Sunderlands season over and Clarke and his agent demanding they sell him in the summer hopefully he's on the beach for the rest of the season.

Doesn't he want too put himself in the shop window, especially against a team in the playoff zone?

From the article i read last transfer window the suitors are already lined up but Sunderland would not sell in Jan.  Clarke and his agent accepted that but want him out the club in the summer at the latest.

He doesn't have to be abysmal on course, that's self-defeating but if he takes his foot off the pedal somewhat that would be appreciated.

All in good time re. Halfords.

Question. Do Blues have potential to fill a 60000 seater stadium?

Bit unlikely given where Blues are now. And by the way I hope they stay up.

Their owners have made an absolute pigs ear of all their decisions this season,but go on national radio talking about a 3 billion pound stadium project …absolute madness.
Even if they do want the project they don’t need to talk about right now do they ??

I can see the need for a new stadium as St Andrews is literally falling down. Having said that, the idea is stupid seeing as it would be located in Alum Rock. I think they're trying to copy the Spurs model and do events/music there. The difference is one is in North London with good transport links, the other is in Alum Rock...

Wow that is stat! A shame because if we managed to sort our away form out earlier I reckon we could've challenged for Autos

Everyone looked at the Leicester game hoping was them on a holiday having wrapped up the title and now look! Beat Sunderland and that is a free hit with all the pressure on them!

8 way relegation and 3 way autos promotion battle could go down to last day, this league is something else!

Well you can update that stat now to same amount of losses!

Pressure on them you never know, could work in our favour.

Yup we know first hand almost bottling it under pressure under Bilic and then when the pressure was on Brentford they crumbled!

Sheff Utd deducted 2 points in their next Champo season, next season basically for defaulting on payments during their promotion season

Leicester have really bottled it big time and look done. In a way, I'd rather face them in the play-offs compared to Saints or Norwich due to the psychological factor. Weirdly, Saints could still go up as they have 2 games in hand and I think they play Leeds and Ipswich. Had they not conceded that Boro goal a few weeks back they'd be right in it.

I said on another forum, as mad a football is, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fire  enzo in the roll of the dice move. He looks lost

They (fans) didn't rate him when he had them clear at the top of the league. He said himself he doesn't feel appreciated there. I don't think what you are suggesting may happen is out of the question

God what a division this is!!

Had a peep at the Leicester forum and no surprise how they are feeling but surprisingly a few of them are tipping us to win the play offs!

Crazy thing is Leicester still have autos in their hands, next week will be very very interesting I'm kinda excited lol
