Barnes has been shite since coming on, should have sealed it and now they fucking equalise

Got a jammy late equaliser written all over it if we don't wake up

Need to stop giving the fucking ball away so easily

Fair few empty seats dotted around

You can tell Chelsea are going to be decent like, it just needs to click, few more games into this season and I'm pretty sure it will. They play decent stuff and seem so close to that perfect pass/goal then it's just a little short at the last part. Going to be a force this season

My guess is they weren't season ticket holders. Members could regularly get away tickets up until the takeover (there was even public sale for a few) so maybe the younguns didn't have season tickets and got in that way, but now you'd need a ST or know someone with one to get one. Other thing is the buses have always supplied tickets to people as part of the package with paying for travel, so I assume loads just did that for years and never needed to bother buying tickets through their own numbers etc

Does Sky Sports sound quieter to anyone else or just mine? Got it turned right up as I do for football and it doesn't seen that loud, tried some other channels and they're loud so it's not the TV. Just annoying

Hopefully the digital ticketing isn't mirroring Arsenal's today...

Could still end up winning this, Ipswich been a disgrace since the red card, fucking mackems man they always end up doing this

2-2 incoming if last seasons anything to go by, be 10 mins added on aswell, you know its coming

Dewsbury-Hall looks about 45 with that tash dreadful. Coventry should be kicking themselves here like, if they weren't so shit in front of goal they'd have won this fairly comfortably

I would compare my main concerns to what happened to Sunderland last night. Whilst not comparing the situation in terms of the magnitude, but the knock on to the immediate future. They had to come up this year now they've got this far or they won't for a few years, the Championship will be far stronger next year, Leicester, Everton/Leeds and even Southampton coming down will be up there, there's no way WBA, Norwich and Watford are as bad next season, and that's before you take into account whoever misses out on the play off final, Luton and Boro are established as being up there must seasons now, and there'll be on or two other decent sides who wd haven't thought of yet, ala the Mackems this season. They'll be stuck there now. For us, whilst long term our future is incredibly bright, if we miss out on the Champions League this year I think it'll be a good few years until we get there again, now I know we're ahead of the project, and tbh finishing top 10 and a decent cup run was what I said I'd be happy with at the start of the season, so it's about perspective, but fucking hell man we're so close, I want to see us in the Champions League next season so bad, it'll be amazing. So if we do miss out, next season there's no way Liverpool and Chelsea will have as bad a season, Villa and Brighton are in it for the long term now, City are City, Arsenal, whilst maybe not going as close to the title again next season will be a shoe in for top 4, depending on what Spurs do they could be a lot better and Man Utd will only get better now they have a competent manager. We could easily finish 7th next season, which would necessarily be a failure but I'm just saying. Now obviously we could improve as well and hell we might just miss out this year and go one better next season, but my gut tells me we're not going to have a better chance, at least in the next 2/3 maybe 4 seasons to make Champions League so we need to take it.

Sunderland are scoring here like, Luton going to need another

If Sunderland get the next goal I think they'll win the tie, as rabid as the Luton fans have been they are quick to sigh when there's a misplaced pass, think there arses will drop if they concede

Atmosphere is mental, Lutons fans seem like absolute lunatics, definitely got the potential to boil over this

Aye sorry 6 points, still the point stands - a win and two draws won't be enough IMO

Southampton away on the last day for Liverpool...no better chance to destroy that goal difference, we need 6 points

We're going to need Liverpool to drop points for us to get top 4

Think we'll draw with Brighton, beat Leicester and draw with Chelsea, so depends what Liverpool can do with the goal difference I guess

We're not winning 2 more games this season playing like that, no chance

You'd think it watching this game at times

We have been fucking shite like, absolutely dreadful. Us and Man Utd just trying to out shit each other as we both limp over the line in the most uninspiring way possible. Thank fuck we've got a few points on Liverpool but they'll end up finishing 3rd the way things are going, awful

This time last night I was very worried about the Leicester and Brighton home games, now after these results I'm back to fully confident we'll beat both of them comfortably I know there's been a lot of ridicule for myself and others for "bedwetting" but at the end of the day, none of us want us to lose, and the main reason the pessimism is there is because we finally care again and it's so hard to switch that mindset after all these years, we're actually decent now and tbh after 14 years it's hard fo accept that as weird as it sounds. I'm a pessimist in daily life as a fault, so it does carry over into football, but never misinterpret that as being a doom monger that enjoys being like that, I want to believe and hopefully over the next few years the club will make us all believe. Someone who said about that lyric from Cobain the other day "I miss the comfort in being sad" was bang on, this season has been amazing but for some people it's difficult to have such a 360 in terms of psyche; because it matters more now I fear it hurting a hell of a lot more because still expect heartbreak, but maybe it's not like that anymore. I've gone on a bit here after a beer or two so apologies but hopefully my point comes across. Here's to the good times

Unbelievable, i still can't believe how many points Blackburn and Milwall have dropped over the last few weeks to allow this to happen, absolute shite. Having them back in the Prem next year is going to be grim

Mackems are 100% winning these play offs if they get in like, only side with any sort of form, all the momentum with them
