Ha, you watching on the red button?

Nah, I don’t have Sky at mine, but I use my mams login on SkyGo. I would expect a slight delay like you get on Prime, but not that far back.

Why are Wigan playing in black at home?

Their home kit too similar to Sunderland's home andaway one?

It was in protest to the murdering taliban ownership of the Mags, I heard.

[samptime29]

Having half time pint. Huddersfield played fairly well. Deserve to be 1 up. Rotherham offered very little tbh. Magic rock lager being served here. Lovely pint.

[Guest]

WBA lead and up to 8th.

[Paullow]

Boro level. 

 

They are now ahead, 2-1, and Blackburn are down to 10 men. Looking like yet another match Bburn don't draw.

I think the top two in the Championship have the auto places wrapped up now.

Seen the gap they have and compare that to when we were down there.

[Big Geordie]

Mackems in front

 

Stewart (pen)

[cubaricho]

I don’t like to comment about people’s appearances but Greizmann, dude, get your hair together.  

[The Prophet]

As it stands, three points between 4th and 14th in the Championship.

[et tu brute]

This championship is the poorest in years. The three coming up will go straight back down at a canter. The gap of quality between the two leagues is massive this year.

[Big Geordie]

Mackems score 2 in a couple of minutes

 

1-4

[Paullow]

They're +9 now, and the clear third best GD in the league. They couldn't string back to back wins earlier in the season, but this will be their 4th win of their last 6, winning B2B twice in that period. 

[Big Geordie]

They could be a shout for the playoffs, given the lie of the league.

Been a massive drop off in quality. Only Burnley out of the relegated clubs are doing well. Norwich look like they have given up going up and down, eventually. Just no quality left in the league at all. An average Championship side of Sheffield United are over 10 points clear of the play off places.

We are probably closer to the Super League now than ever before.

[cubaricho]

Would love for them to be back in the Prem so we can spank them twice a season again. It would be nice to have a true rival in the same division again. At least for a season before they got relegated straight back down again obviously.  

[The Prophet]

Sunderland look like they'll put away trash in the league but struggle against the better sides. Still think they'll end up in midtable which would be a good result.

 

A small part of me wants them to come up. It could be brutal.

[Stifler]

The gap between 2nd and 3rd in the Championship is the same as the gap between 3rd and 19th.

Absolutely shambolic. End the season now, and just pick a name out of the hat for the final promoted team.

Yeah, it is kind of selective because at the moment WBA are 9th and Norwich are 10th, but at the start of the season, the 3 relegated sides, Sheff U, WBA and Boro were clear in terms of the title and promotion odds, and their record against that lot is 1 draw and 5 defeats, so removing those results from their record, against the other 17, it is 10 wins and 6 draws from their 19 matches.

 

I can see them sneaking into the POs, and who knows after that, but with WBA and Boro improving, and Norwich making a managerial change (please not Bruce ), maybe the expected 6 will fill actually the top 6 come the end of the season.

Huddersfield fully deserved to win. 2-0 seemed fair. Jordan Rhodes led the line well and got his goal.

I still maintain they will finish roughly about 12th. Fancy West Brom or Boro for the playoff win.

Morata shithouse goal.

[Mike]

Three reds in this game.

[Kimbo]

Klopp doing the “we’re poor little underdog Liverpool and we have to save our pennies to buy anyone” act on Sky. He’s an insufferable arse.

[Pilko]

Klopp's the biggest cunt in the Premier League bar none. Constantly whinging, bulllshitting, complaining about fixture timings or number of subs or something or other. He fits perfectly in with his club and their nauseating "always the victims" mentality. 

 

Not sure I've ever wanted a manager and a club to get beat every single week as much as this, even when Fergie & Man U were at their insufferable stoppage time winning best.
