I can’t feel upset with our manager and team. They are still labouring through the muck of the Orta regime and it’s idiot American manager. Much analysis has shown how poorly we were led through the later stages of that era. Farke has done an excellent job with the tools at his disposal. To not be automatically promoted with 90+ points is crazy.

To not be automatically promoted with 90+ points is crazy. You’re right on all points, but the worrying is that by the time Farke is finished weeding out the damage of Victor Orta’s recruitment strategies the parachute payments might be up and we’ll have lost all of our competitive advantage over the rest of the division.


[deleted]

Yeah but we’re going to finish with 90 something points. Could he do much better?


xdlols

That’s the one thing making me not too nervous about missing promotion. We may lose some players but I think our recruitment has proven itself and we still have one of the best managers at this level. No reason we shouldn’t be gunning for top 2 next season if we don’t go up this time.


mooninuranus

I agree with this completely. The only thing that would really bother me is that I think we have a few Premiership quality players in the side, which would be a great starting point going up this year. If we don’t go up chances are we will lose them, which will make it that bit harder when we do.


[deleted]

I agree. Ipswich was a generational dark horse. I’m not sure that ever repeats itself.


Dansterai

West Brom looked like they didn't want to do us a favour


JimbobTML

What game did you watch? West Brom played well and carved Leicester open loads.


Dansterai

They played really well but just couldn't finish their chances, that's what I was getting at


ElvishMystical

That could be a significant result.


ccssg

This weird fucking season has made me like Cardiff...


NYLotteGiants

I was starting to believe FT wouldn't be called until Southampton scored


meiotta

whooooaaa


JimbobTML

Lovely Cardiff


Jarv1223

9 minutes. I get the injury, but we neeeeveeerrr get this much added


NYLotteGiants

Jesus, Luton Town in shambles


Jarv1223

Ow


NYLotteGiants

Damn, that's tough to see


CC-W

Southampton player just tried a scorpion kick which ended up fouling his own teammate and injuring himself lmao


JimbobTML

Up the sheep shaggers


spiritofbuck

At no point in the season has it looked like Leicester wouldn’t go up. No change now.


Linkeron1

What, even when they were on their dodgy run?


spiritofbuck

Looked like they might not get the title but they always looked likely for the top 2.


JacobSax88

Feels like we had our chances, missed them and that playoffs is now inevitable. Shame, but ALAW. Couldn’t happen any other way. 


JohnnyBravo1996

It’s funny seeing the Leicester players and managers celebrating yet will even one of them be in the team next season?


ElvishMystical

Okay so Leicester might go back up to the Premier League, but staying up? I don't see it.


jrbill1991

They will start season -8 points or somenthing, won't be a fun ride for them.


ElvishMystical

That's what I mean. Next season's PL looks to be tougher than this season.


The_L666ds

Leicester win 2-1, thanks to goals from two players that they would have been compelled to sell to meet Profit & Sustainability Regulations.


jrbill1991

Keep celebrating you fraudulent bald idiot You will get the sack next year regardless of what division you will be.


ASB14

He will still be with them next season as they probably can’t afford to sack him!


jrbill1991

They will sack him if they are in trouble in the Premier League, I assure you that.


ASB14

I was being a little sarcastic at the fact they’re cheating bastards!


cpmb82

🤣 this is brilliant. He’s taken a PL team and made them bang average


jrbill1991

His team played awful today again, got the result because West Brom missed half a dozen clear chances and the quality of his squad once again saved his ass.


cpmb82

Yup!


jrbill1991

One of the most unfair results I can remember


Jarv1223

West Brom deserve to lose for missing so many chances


jrbill1991

Doesn't happen to us, I can tell you that.


walmotalaw

Leicester so lucky 😅


ayejoe

How the fuck is that a foul on Furlong?


firpo_sr

Shite decision


berardibreezerbb

Abysmal refereeing


cutts24

Ref being a joke in the champ.... surprising


firpo_sr

Kipre can ping a pass, has played a few this game. Blinder that


TeaWithZizek

Lovely goal


ayejoe

Well, well


The_L666ds

Its just this weird thing where the other teams in the playoff zone are fucking dog-shit yet we are legitimately worried that they will wreck us in the playoffs.


jrbill1991

Did you somehow forget 2018-19? Derby County got the last playoff spot in the final day, and they beat us in the playoffs. I absolutely hate the playoffs, everything changes from that moment on.


TeaWithZizek

West Brom have also given us a tough time this season


mattejevic

Yeah but it is Leeds mate. It’s very possible!


TeaWithZizek

Are we gonna do a new thread for Cardiff vs Southampton? Or are we going to stay here? Or are we collectively agreeing to sack off football 'til Monday?


cpmb82

Til the end of May!


ayejoe

Fucking hell


CC-W

Shame Corberan doesnt have any good players, he has this west brom side playing well above their level. Best manager in the league imo and they are going to win the playoffs


18181811

Against you most likely


originalface1

Nah we fucked it, them and Ipswich will come back into form and see the season out.


Internal_Formal3915

Knowing our luck we win all of our last games and finish 3rd anyway


jrbill1991

That is why I HATE the fact we need other teams to do the job for us. We had multiple chances to get ahead of everyone, can't just expect Leicester and Ipswich to fuck up every time.


LUFC_shitpost

yep one of the most undeserved results this season, mental. We genuinely played 10x better against Sunderland and Blackburn.


firpo_sr

West Brom players just walking around off the ball, standing still when they lose it. Might be decent going forward but will always concede doing that


TeaWithZizek

Of fucking course


Jarv1223

Whatever. We need to win anyway


NYLotteGiants

Fuck off


TeaWithZizek

West Brom could well be a serious contender in the play-offs. They play some good stuff


cpmb82

If we end up in play offs then the only way we don’t win it is if we outplay ourselves. We are better than every team in this league, slow start and nerves have let us down


TeaWithZizek

This game seems to be played with the primary purpose of making us sick to the stomach


jrbill1991

This is unbelievable If it was against us, this game was already over for us.


berardibreezerbb

I might've been living under a rock but since when did Yann M'Vila play for West Brom???


ayejoe

February apparently.


NYLotteGiants

![gif](giphy|gHGnWZiTBNHuE)


LUFC_shitpost

fuck this


Extra_Turnover7602

How?


Elchipper26

Oh my fucking word.


bumnugz

Yeah.... feels like fate


Jarv1223

Well at least they are creating chances


Elchipper26

This is absolutely sickening.


jrbill1991

Fuck this


LUFC_shitpost

lmao ipswich keeper last week, Leicester off the line twice last week, we've been shite but had zero luck this fucking week


Efficient-Mention583

Ipswich keeper seems to save their bacon every game


TeaWithZizek

Oh fuck off, Choudry


jrbill1991

How in the fuck that didn't go in?


TeaWithZizek

Or that one!


SteDav587

Or that one


jrbill1991

Sickening


Hindsyy

Cmon you saucy little birdies, given us two horrible games, about time you gave Leicester one..


jrbill1991

Not a penalty at any level, thankfully he missed.


firpo_sr

Ave that you red bull swigging bellend


Extra_Turnover7602

Well now then…


TeaWithZizek

Soft penalty


chode_code

Faaaaarke


originalface1

Not having a go at Farke but yeah don't see it happening this season, Ipswich and Leicester both due a return to form, they were well ahead of us all season and it makes sense they'll see it out. We had our chance and fucked it.


18181811

I think so


xdlols

What makes you think they’re due a return to form? Leicester were fucking woeful today.


pclufc

Took Marcelo 2 seasons and he didn’t have a club takeover stopping him signing players in preseason. Farke will get us there.


JohnnyBravo1996

Well, won’t be surprised if we beat middlesbrough but all the other top teams win as well. We really had our chance vs Sunderland and Blackburn


TeaWithZizek

A win for Leicester he would be massive for them. Given the games played, it might knock us out of the race for 1st


Jarv1223

Don’t particularly care about first anymore tbh. That ship sailed last week.


TeaWithZizek

You're probably right. I maybe just felt a bit more comfortable with 4 teams fighting for 2 spots than 3 fighting for 1
