I've got 2 flatmates who support ipswich and they are both adamant that Keane is the man to manage them.

would be a good opportunity to purchase some back up players at knock down prices. Which may well appeal to Ashley!

I cant share the view that many people have that Forest will roll over whilst we steamroll them. This game is essentially their last hope of automatic promotion. They need to win and will be pulling out all the stops to do so, so dont look into previous form too much. I reckon a laboured 2-0 to us.

Personally, I'd rather play for the 1-0 loss

Taylor is a proven premiership player, whereas Carroll is not. However, Taylor's transfer fee would command more because of that. It all depends on whose fault this incident is, if it were that one needed getting rid of. If Taylor had done nothing wrong, and we chucked him out on account of it to appease Carroll, that would be a recipe for disaster.

If this formation gets us a win a la Sheff Utd or Preston then fine. I dont care how we play, as long as we win. just want a battling away performance and back to winning ways. Otherwise, WBA and Forest could be breathing down our necks again

i've laid millwall in a treble. backing betis nad verona to go with it. millwall leading!

£20 on Millwall winning at Leeds today. 3/1. Beckford not playing!

Blackburn's goalkeeper does not actually steal from his offspring.

I really cant decide. We might have a first season like Reading or Wigan. More likely though, we'll be in a relgation scrap. I reckon with a reasonably good transfer window, finishing 12-14th isnt impossible. I think its vital we keep Hughton, seeing as our failure was attributed in no small part to the managerial merry-go-round. Hughton now knows the squad better than anyone else, has got the work rate and has shown the character to drop some players and made some good buys.

peterborough is on the east coast main line so id imagine it would be affected.

but, if Lille get 1 goal, which isnt that unlikely, then liverpool need the 3 to progress.

confirmed on their website. how many teams will he have relegated if/when Hull go down?

cant see us keeping a clean sheet with some many defenders out. going forward we should hopefully destroy them with routledge and enrique back.

I dont remember us getting particularly lucky with pens- Lovenkrands one against Barnsley being the obvious one where he fell over/dived.

They missed a couple as well

bristol doncaster reading, qpr and plymouth (towards the end of the season) will be hard away games with reading seemingly doing well, plymouth in a relegation scrap and QPR with warnock and a good squad could be heading for the playoffs. Doncaster are in 8th so will definately give us a game, and its the sort of game we will slip up in. Bristol are on poor form at the moment, so Id hope for 3 points there. Id back us to gain maximum points from most if not all of our home fixtures, its just the away fixtures that are unpredictable. west brom have to play boro and leicester at home, which will be tough but youd still back them to win. i reckon with the slightly better goal difference, the 1 extra point and the 2 games in hand, we'd have enough to win the league. However, it will go to nearly the end i think. good thing forest are almost dead and buried!

had a £20 free bet on paddypower and was literally just about to put it on west brom beating swansea 1-0 with dorrans to score to ease the pain when it inevitably happened. guess what? couple of seconds too late and the betting was suspended! grr

I think, if my logic is correct, I'm right in saying it would be 24 needed if we beat Forest (including the 3 from beating them) as that will be three points they can't get. we need 18 at the moment, but if we beat forest I guess we would need 15 other points. on 18 points, that would be 1.63 points per game, and as far as the season has gone, we have averaged 2.09! Surely we can't screw it up from here!

As it stands- 9 points clear of 3rd place with 2 games in hand. Maximum return of 27 points for forest meaning we need 18 points from 33 remaining to guarantee an instant return to the premiership.

Newcastle Relegated from Premiership "Chris hughton is spineless, and is by no means a manager" Newcastle top of the league by 4 points with a game in hand "We are only top of the league because we have a premiership squad. Any manager would have got us here. Chris Hughton has done averagely at this level and will be a failure at premiership level" I don't get the above thinking. Hughton deserves all the very limited credit he gets, and although he may not be Mourinho or Ferguson, sacking him after winning promotion (hopefully as champions) is exactly the sort of decision that led to the managerial merry-go-round that was partly to blame for us being in this position in the first place. Give him time, and we will see.

WBA 2- 2 Blackpool

Scunthorpe's full back sent off. Should make things easier for Routledge/Jonas at SJP on Wed
