Opening Day (+ Friday)

Pleased with the Forest win, 1st opening day win in 6 years and I expected us to start slow. Negotiating for 2 right wingers too

Oh so the brighton fathfull cant actually have a pop at us about this !! cheers shot

Funny you should say that Shot. On Saturday's game me and my brother were talking about previous games against Leicester. He reminded me once he went up to see the 0-0 draw Leicester (how we drew 0-0 btw ill never know!) he said we had to wear their away kit. Then whilst saying this i was on my phone and up popped on twitter That Barnsley would be wearing Palace (scum) away kit!!!

Anyone know if Cardiff can secure promotion tonight?

I hate to say it but it is pointless having away kits that are similiar in colour to your home kit. I think that season you only had them 2 kits so god knows what happened against every other team in blue you faced.

It was the ref who was just very fussy i think.

cant the teams and ref just exhange a quick emailed pic of the shirts a few days before the game. I MEAN its not like e dont have the tech

Cardiff really do choke there way over the line don't they!

They will be fine, too ahead to muck it up now.

Nigel Pearson.

You're fired

Great point for Birmingham. Just said to my brother, might stick a few quid on pearson next to go if Birmingham nick something

Pearson must be teetering on the edge. Worth a pound G.

Trying to find a bookies that does next champ manager to go

They'll be re-arranging their prices after that result. Best to look in the morning.

True.

How awful was the commentator btw.

Not as bad a Brum's away kit. Horrible.

I love a pink kit

I bet that goes down well when they play Brighton away.

thats so homophobic ...

I am shocked

Myst my sister is gay (I blame the city of Nowrich), I'm allowed! Plus I've read some of your filthy posts over the years. Can't kid a kidder.

If Person does get the boot we'll all miss his charisma.

Leicesters last 4 games. Bolton, Palace, Watford, Forest.

Can see why that wouldve be labelled a must win for a team outside the playoffs.

YES BIRMINGHAM!!!

Chris Burke deserves to be knighted for scoring that Pen. However i said i would get a round in if he scored. He did and although i was cheering in delight, i then had to fork out 25 quid for a round of drinks!!!

Nigel Pearson, tick tock tick tock.

Can probably say loser of Bolton Leicester will be sticking around for another year

I fancy Bolton for the play off spots tbh

My prediction

4th forest
5th palace
6th Bolton
7th Brighton
8th Leicester

How depressing...

I still think a Pearson sacking is in the near future. Missing the playoffs with a squad that should be top 2 is unacceptable

God, if Wednesday hold onto this lead they are up to 9th. It really is tight this year.

It doesnt matter who is our manager though. We are never going to the Premier League and Leicester fans just need to live with being a decent Championship outfit.

They easily have the squad to do it. Something just seem off, which is odd considering they're basically the Man Utd U21 team

I dunno Shot. I can't see why you can't do what Cardiff have done this season next year.

Nah. Im officially giving up all hope. And its not just a knee-jerk reaction to our worse-than-relegation-form of the last few months. I said right at the start of the season that this was it in terms of the Premier League. If we didnt do it this season, we would never do it. I stand by that and we certainly wont go up this season. Even if by some miracle we scraped our way into the play offs, we would never have the bottle to win it...

2-1 to Leeds now, with Varney getting both.

Morison booed and taken off after 60 mins.

Sounds like a decent start for McDermott, 2-1 Leeds FT.

Derby and Huddersfield at home for Blackburn over the next 2 games, anything less than 4 points minimum, then I think we are toast...

Derby are pretty useless away

We are pretty useless everywhere...

Hah you never know lol. Wonder if they tried to get Warnock off the Football Focus couch

I cant see him taking the rubbish that Singh, Shaw, Agnew and Venkys would give him!

The saving grace for this season now, is these 2 homes games and the game in hand we have against Millwall.

I'd enjoy it.

If anything, I'd imagine the message will finally sink in this summer about how to run a club

Too true!

IF we stay up, and that is a big IF, then we need a mass clear out, an exodus of the rubbish and dross, get in a manager and back him this summer with funds to assemble a decent second tier squad.

If Gary Bowyer keeps this team up, he deserves the role.

Should we drop, then I do believe we could do a Portsmouth ( okay they are out of the woods now after a nightmare, but another relegation is looming ) We have 13 players earning £30M per season between them with salaries and add on's etc, that is proper mental!!

Rhodes !!

#scoreswhenhewants

no mighty eagles today due to millwalls wembley appearance. I hope them fans have a good time and dont kick of down there..

YES!

Bristol City 1-1 Bolton

Cardiff 1-0 Forest.

Boro 0-0 Brighton

All stays this way i will be a happy man, after a frustrating 3-3 draw in my game in which i managed to hit the bar from 8 yards out!

Really? You have the easiest game by far and arent taking advantage as it stands

But were crap.

YESSSSSS ipswitch scored v hull

forest losing!!

whoop whoop.

As bad as palace are - so is everyone else!!

Brigthon scored
