Just found out that after us, the vile have got Blackburn ffs!

They're gonna beat us and then lose to Blackburn aren't they, the filthy inbreds.
 
Well on to the finals! Don't think we have a prayer against Chelsea but it'll be fun to watch after this rough year.
 
And what the hell got into Crystal Palace? In the last 3 weeks they've beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and now today Liverpool. Benteke is a straight beast.
 
Haven't watched him all year but these last three games he's been very good. I'll defer to his overall game to you then.
 
Great win by Forest over Reading on the weekend. Much needed. Two games to go.


17Bristol City -6 51

18Burton Albion -12 51

19QPR -12 50

20Nottm Forest -11 48

21Birmingham -22 47

22Blackburn -15 45

23Wigan Athletic -16 41

So Wigan is gone.

Birmingham have Huddersfield at home and Bristol City away.

Blackburn have Aston Villa at home and Brentford away.

Forest have QPR away and Ipswich Town at home.

Huddersfield won last night to secure a play off place so when we (Birmingham) play them on Saturday, a couple of tasty tackles should make their players consider their availability for those play off games. They roll over, we get a lucky goal (cus we can't score goals ourselves for sh1t at the moment) and we can hopefully put this awful season behind us.
 
One Round to go in the Championship.

Birmingham @ Bristol City.
Blackburn @ Brentford.
Ipswich Town @ Nottingham Forest.


Brentford have won their last four home games by a combined total of 11 goals to 1.

Forest have 2 wins, 1 loss (to Blackburn) and 1 draw from their last four home games.

A Forest win?
Three points will see Forest to safety if Birmingham fail to beat Bristol City. Victory for the Reds would put them above Birmingham if the Blues lose or draw. But if Harry Redknapp's side win, it will come down to Forest and Blackburn.

In that situation, Forest will be safe if they win and Blackburn lose or draw. If both Forest and Blackburn win, it could go two ways.

The Reds would be safe by virtue of their superior goal difference if they equal Rovers' margin of victory, but if Blackburn win by two or more goals than Forest then Forest would be relegated to League One.

If Forest and Blackburn finish the season with wins that put them level on points and goal difference, it will come down to goals scored – and the Reds currently hold the advantage on that score, having netted 59 goals compared to Blackburn's 50.

A Forest draw?
If the Reds earn a point against Ipswich, it will not be enough to lift them above Birmingham even if the Blues lose their final match, so they would be relying on Blackburn failing to beat Brentford to stay in the Championship.

A Forest loss?
If the Reds suffer defeat to Ipswich, they will need Blackburn to endure the same fate – and by an equal or greater margin – at Brentford in order to survive.


Good luck to all three clubs.

We did ourselves a huge favour beating Huddersfield (with 10 men - that red card has since been rescinded) so now both Forest and Blackburn have to win for us to go down.

Those two are separated by one goal so it'll be an exciting final day (as long as we don't F things up).

First twist of the day, Blackburn one up at Brentford. Cracking free kick as well.

2-0 now keeper clanger.

Forest now 1 up as are Brum. Blackburn back in the bottom three as they are behind on goals scored.
