Wallsendmag Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I really want Ipswich up so I'm quite happy that they've taken a point tonight considering they're just playing the season out now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds should have had a clear pen in the 2nd half, but I'm quite happy Sunderland got something as I really want Ipswich up. It was obviously 99.99999999% that they wouldn't finish top 6, but it's mathematically confirmed now, so it will be an 8th season outside of the top flight for them next season, which I think might be a record for them. It already was a record - their longest previous spell was six years. They’ve beaten our record now though - ours is seven years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all hate Leeds, but there’s no question that matches with them have a bit more about them, compared to matches with the likes of Southampton. Ipswich will have a novelty factor for a couple of years, but ultimately will end up being as drab as Southampton after a while, but let’s allow them their turn for a bit. So Ipswich and Leeds please. With anybody except Southampton or Norwich from the play offs (preferably Coventry if they can squeeze in). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I actually don't mint Leeds. Proper club. Got a respect for them and think they have for us, despite wanting to be top dogs in the North etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I do believe Swindon and Oldham are legally due to a season back in the Premier League. Why has Richard M denied this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to like them in the slightest, quite the opposite really, it’s more an acknowledgement that a game against them will have a bit of edge to it. They’ll always bring a decent following, and as a result the atmosphere will be better. I appreciate you could extrapolate this out to saying ‘well lets just have the mackems promoted then’, but that’s a bit extreme, as there’s obviously far more going on with games against them than just a decent atmosphere. If folk are worried about the atmosphere now, wait until we’ve got Europa League on a Thursday and then subsequently Southampton, Norwich etc at home Sunday 2pm.

Atmosphere v Leeds was one of our worst of the season last year. Granted a 0-0 draw didn't help matters like, but their fans were shite as well!

If the mackems are happy with that performance and point, they are best off staying down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like everyone just wants to get them out the way and get to where they need to be. Generally speaking though, you’ll always get a better atmosphere with 3k Leeds there as opposed to 1.5k Southampton/Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Went to Leeds/Mackems game last night as Leeds mate had spare ticket. Thought Mackems defended quite well, shape was good. They didn't really create much though. Leeds controlled game but also didn't create too much. Bit of a bland game, atmosphere was decent tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 While we have Isak, Bruno and Gordon, players with technical skill and game intelligence, who regularly display moments of individual brilliance, they have Luke O’Nien. This is what constitutes being a “legend” up there. “You’ve been O’Nien’ed” 😳. Did the same to Miley and tried to do it to Isak before he danced past him laughing his arse off at some league one journeyman trying to make a name for himself. https://x.com/liamrand4/status/1777810200889610422?s=46&t=DcLbGwd6hoDY9gGMy-ZgEw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a budget Steven Taylor. Tiny amount of ability but looks to play to the crowd to get attention, loves the bantz and desperately wants to be popular rather than better.
