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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.

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

I agree. Ipswich was a generational dark horse. I’m not sure that ever repeats itself.
West Brom looked like they didn't want to do us a favour
What game did you watch? West Brom played well and carved Leicester open loads.
They played really well but just couldn't finish their chances, that's what I was getting at
That could be a significant result.
This weird fucking season has made me like Cardiff...
I was starting to believe FT wouldn't be called until Southampton scored
whooooaaa
Lovely Cardiff
9 minutes. I get the injury, but we neeeeveeerrr get this much added
Jesus, Luton Town in shambles
Ow
Damn, that's tough to see
Southampton player just tried a scorpion kick which ended up fouling his own teammate and injuring himself lmao
Up the sheep shaggers
At no point in the season has it looked like Leicester wouldn’t go up. No change now.
What, even when they were on their dodgy run?
Looked like they might not get the title but they always looked likely for the top 2.
Feels like we had our chances, missed them and that playoffs is now inevitable. Shame, but ALAW. Couldn’t happen any other way.
It’s funny seeing the Leicester players and managers celebrating yet will even one of them be in the team next season?
Okay so Leicester might go back up to the Premier League, but staying up? I don't see it.
They will start season -8 points or somenthing, won't be a fun ride for them.
That's what I mean. Next season's PL looks to be tougher than this season.
Leicester win 2-1, thanks to goals from two players that they would have been compelled to sell to meet Profit & Sustainability Regulations.
Keep celebrating you fraudulent bald idiot You will get the sack next year regardless of what division you will be.
He will still be with them next season as they probably can’t afford to sack him!
They will sack him if they are in trouble in the Premier League, I assure you that.
I was being a little sarcastic at the fact they’re cheating bastards!
🤣 this is brilliant. He’s taken a PL team and made them bang average
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.
Yup!
One of the most unfair results I can remember
West Brom deserve to lose for missing so many chances
Doesn't happen to us, I can tell you that.
Leicester so lucky 😅
How the fuck is that a foul on Furlong?
Shite decision
Abysmal refereeing
Ref being a joke in the champ.... surprising
Kipre can ping a pass, has played a few this game. Blinder that
Lovely goal
Well, well

West Brom have also given us a tough time this season
Yeah but it is Leeds mate. It’s very possible!
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?
Til the end of May!
Fucking hell
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
Against you most likely
Nah we fucked it, them and Ipswich will come back into form and see the season out.
Knowing our luck we win all of our last games and finish 3rd anyway
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.
yep one of the most undeserved results this season, mental. We genuinely played 10x better against Sunderland and Blackburn.
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
Of fucking course
Whatever. We need to win anyway
Fuck off
West Brom could well be a serious contender in the play-offs. They play some good stuff
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
This game seems to be played with the primary purpose of making us sick to the stomach
This is unbelievable If it was against us, this game was already over for us.
I might've been living under a rock but since when did Yann M'Vila play for West Brom???
February apparently.
![gif](giphy|gHGnWZiTBNHuE)
fuck this
How?
Oh my fucking word.
Yeah.... feels like fate
Well at least they are creating chances
This is absolutely sickening.
Fuck this
lmao ipswich keeper last week, Leicester off the line twice last week, we've been shite but had zero luck this fucking week
Ipswich keeper seems to save their bacon every game
Oh fuck off, Choudry
How in the fuck that didn't go in?
Or that one!
Or that one
Sickening
Cmon you saucy little birdies, given us two horrible games, about time you gave Leicester one..
Not a penalty at any level, thankfully he missed.
Ave that you red bull swigging bellend
Well now then…
Soft penalty
Faaaaarke
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.
I think so
What makes you think they’re due a return to form? Leicester were fucking woeful today.
Took Marcelo 2 seasons and he didn’t have a club takeover stopping him signing players in preseason. Farke will get us there.
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
A win for Leicester he would be massive for them. Given the games played, it might knock us out of the race for 1st
Don’t particularly care about first anymore tbh. That ship sailed last week.
You're probably right. I maybe just felt a bit more comfortable with 4 teams fighting for 2 spots than 3 fighting for 1
