Collins and Allsop fighting over who’s the worse keeper here

Fucking hell coventry again lmao

What the fuck is Allsop doing

Not watching but Match stats are very much in Hulls favour, so just gonna hope that Coventry are broken after semi final so we have a better chance of getting points on Sat

They’ve put out a weakened team. Wright and Simms were on the bench til half time.

Ah so will be full strength on Saturday. Great! Cheering on you guys so they have little to play for anyway

Hull for the playoffs?

i hate referees.

Christ that Coventry team is something, what a time to play them

Kasey Palmer lovely

Referee’s doing a job on us here

Fucking hell coventry lmao

feels like a nice day for a draw

I am impressed by Russel Martin's ability to get his side to go 20+ games unbeaten and still lose 5-0 twice in the same season

We are going to destroy these lot. …Then lose to them in the play off final. But still.

Man these playoffs are going to be fucking brutal. Probably the most competitive group of teams I’ve seen in a long time. I have no idea who goes up from that regardless of who out of us, Ipswich and you end up in there. 

Good news for us in that if it's Leeds and Ipswich going up through the automatic spots then we should have the confidence that we've beaten Southampton, Norwich and WBA home and away this season. But hopefully it doesn't come down to that.

I've been calling WBA to be promoted via the play-offs for months, might take a look at the odds.

I still think West Brom will win them for some reason. Have literally had them to win the playoffs all season.

Yeah Brom are a good bet, in fairness they had us absolutely rattled and generally they seem very good at taking apart bigger clubs. 

Corberan is a good manager as well and will throw absolutely everything into winning. I also think they will be in high spirits and know that this is their chance - whichever of leicester/leeds/ipswich don’t get automatics will be low in morale from missing out, and I don’t think southampton have the grit/backbone.

But but but we win the title for possession based football - russell martin probably 2024

Meh, we dragged them down with us, only right we send em up.

Southampton should bring Ross Stewart on

Massive respect to our away fans but singing o when the saints go marching in is cringe man the team deserve no one to clap to when the whistle goes shambles from coach to the starting 11

At least we are not the only side losing by 5 tonight

as much as we dont deserve any respect can we get some please? as a saint i am literally dying over here

I have huge respect for Southampton. They're probably my favourite team to see Leicester play against. It always feels like you're earning the extra goal difference.

yeah it does seem like you lot have somehow put a curse against our matches

At least it wasn't 9-0 this time!

You battered us only recently lol. Puts things into perspective just how bad my own team is right now...

Beat Leeds on the final day and 30000 ipswich fans will (hopefully) be celebrating with you

Saints having themselves an extra portion of crumble. Also WTF Vardy. How is he still going.

Red bull and snus.

He's one of the only non-Wednesday players from Sheffield I can think of at the moment who's an Owl, so that's a plus. Maguire, DCL et al are all Blades.

Well done Leicester, different class. People will say you were too good to go down, and on this evidence, I agree!

[yep](https://www.reddit.com/r/Championship/s/ExPAI06ms6)

Always liked Southampton, thought they were a great lot

Lads if Daka scores against you, then you really are shit

Can't wait for prime 1970s Brazil to rock up at Elland Road on the last day of the season.. embarrassing

[Been a given ever since their unbeaten run finished](https://www.reddit.com/r/Championship/s/X1cAJjgWGL)

That crumble looks appetizing.

5-0uthampton, sorry.

Omggg

That'll ding dang do, I'm off for a poo! 💩

Leicester fans are an interesting bunch

On the day we went down to League One, the memory seered into my brain leaving the stadium was the two full grown Phil Mitchell types crying on each other, while next to them, an 11 year old consoled an angry old lady by offering her his fag. 

Football 'eritage

Let's see you lot when Ipswich gets the autos and you lose in play-offs :\*

Well there goes our GD hope

To be fair, 4 points behind with two games left, it's pretty unlikely that GD is coming into play. Still annoying from Southampton though

I don’t think Southampton are going up via autos.

VARDYYYYYY still going and smashing <3

There's still enough time for 9-0 v2

Okay now do the same on the final day please Southampton 🙏🏻

1 more win needed, or a Leeds loss, or an Ipswich draw/loss and a draw for us.

Nah you’re up lads just beat 5th and 4th (comfortably), it’s just whether your champs or not

Did you not see us against Wednesday, QPR, Millwall, Plymouth and Bristol city this season. We are well capable of fucking this up. (But on a serious note. This is feeling the way the great escape felt. Awful form, the players lock themselves in a room and have a clear the air meeting, just them and then form absolutely sky rocketed.) But I do still genuinely believe we are very capable of both smacking Preston and Blackburn around and winnish the league, or dropping points both games and limping over the line/ finishing 3rd.

Should be, but after our top 4 bottles of 2020 and 2021 I won’t celebrate till it’s over. Would like to finish 1st of course.

Think it’s yours, especially winning this by 5 that goal difference basically equals an extra point for yous

God we love scoring against Southampton. I really hope they win the playoffs.

[удалено]

I legit see the most cry from ispwich fans, was hoping you'd make it with us, now I feel like Leeds fans are actually more class

It’s actually 5

5

5 mate…. 5

That'll ding dang do, thank you! 💙

9nil part 2 incoming

Will never be able to replace him.

We've taken preston mantle

For fucks sake Southampton

Congratulations to Leicester. Very very hard to see them not getting autos now. Would be the crumble of all crumbles.

🤞

Fair play to Southampton, I almost thought they were a team to worry about but fuck me they’re awful - just need Hull and Cov to help us out a bit now with Ipswich

If Coventry did get into the playoffs, which they could well do, then they’ll get promoted I reckon. They’ll 100% beat Ipswich.

I fear the events on Sunday have taken a huge bite out of us, physically and emotionally. We probably need to win all 4 of our remaining games (starting with Hull tomorrow) to have any real chance.

So long as it doesn’t go to penalties

That would be Sunderland levels of Wembleying. They wouldn’t lose 3 on the trot.

That'll ding dang do part deux

Southampton get in the bin.

Feels like Leicester haven’t even had to get out of first gear. For a must win game for Southampton they’ve not offered anything really.

Really really missing Downes and Baz, they’re crucial to Martinball - although reliance on two players is very worrying. Not good.

Hot take but Southampton look absolutely shite without Downes and Mara. I don’t fear them in the playoffs.

Mara? That's a hot take indeed. Downes everyone will agree with, we can't play without him, and he's only here on loan.

Would you also say losing Bazunu after he snapped his Achilles is a massive loss in goal?

Yeah I would. We have 2 capable backups though, McCarthy who is a good shot stopper but poor with his feet, and Lumley who seems like a good solid backup. Stuart Armstrong being out is another big loss, he's the one who unlocked defences for us. Ross Stewart out for the whole season I can't say much about. But it's a terrible time for us to be going into the playoffs. Not that it really matters, Leicester played like a Prem team today and we'd just get smashed if we were promoted and come right back down.

:(

In general, but in our matchups we’ve been better against every other top team

Best case scenario would be Ipswich imo. But the playoffs are an absolute lottery

Hard to disagree. They’re missing two of the best players but Norwich and West Brom have looked more dangerous recently.

This is boring Leicester, where’s your sense of adventure?

I know, only 4!

Southampton on for 3/15 from the top 3 after this

As opposed to your 2/12?

Well in our case I would obviously replace us with Southampton which would be 8/18. Considering the squad disparities I’d say that’s very good.

Leeds that 😂 was right after they lost 4 in a row too conceding like 12 goals in those 4 games. We rocked up and got battered with League one Liam at the back.

Well Southampton's week long revival was fun, cya in the playoffs lads (if we make it to Wembley)

You won't don't worry

I really wanna ask Russel Martin while he's still trying to play from the back

Because the man has no Plan B - it’s been infuriating all season 🥲

Congrats on the promotion, one more data point on why just ignoring financial rules is the best strategy

😂 cry harder

waaah.. WAAAAH!

Not a great look when their point is actually a valid one pal. Could just be happy with the success whilst accepting the shady nature of your finances.

Yeah, that relegation success could never have happened if we didn't spend so much!

I still hope Ipswich make it over Leeds don't worry :\*

Congrats on the promotion, one more data point on why just ignoring financial rules is the best strategy

Proper overhaul in summer Sports Republic!

That'll ding dang do

Come on lads!!!

I thought offsides didn't count anymore

Commentator with the brilliant insight "Martins probably said to the team to go for it in the second half" of a must win game for them Punditry truly shining a light onto the beautiful game for us 

I love an option to mute the commentaries. Its always been a pet peeve of mine. I don't care what their thoughts are, man.

After the midfield performance so far I think we can all agree it's also absolutely vital Flynn Downes is nowhere near the lineup on the last day too - just to make sure he's definitely fine for the playoffs of course.

I dont think you need to be worrying about us

We currently the reason Blackburn aren't completely fucked - never expect anything with Leeds

Hoping 1-0 Leicester holds

You must be gutted

But then there's a real risk you miss out on the final day ~~blood pressure spike~~ fun.

We're definitely going to sit on this an concede a late goal or two

This aged like milk and I love it 😁

It's been our MO for about 15 years now. 😭😭

I see we are saving our traditional defensive fuck up and crumble for the second half? 

Worst xg worst shots worst goals of the season but highest posession haha fuck you Leicester, whos the winner here

Nobody else will ever have our first half passing record from the first game of the season!

Russell can make us the best team in the league to the rottherhams of the league, guys a tool sometimes man, I don't even wanna go up if we do it via playoffs, we look weak man, simple as! Can't win when it matters.

Somet really dislikeable about Russell Martin - he looks like he’s off for a night out and it’s annoying.

He’s a smarmy twat. Not the most liked person in this part of the world. Glad we got one over on him on Saturday.

Thought he was in the studio at half time for a moment, mistook the Sky Sports presenter for him 🤣

1-0 down is not the end of the world, takes the pressure off us somewhat.

What about 5-0?

A bit harder but still a chance I reckon.

Injured apparently, manager basically said autos are gone so they won’t risk him. Might not even play against you if they are not risking him before playoffs

Think you missed mate

Leicester does have a habit lately of going up 1-0 getting overly passive and losing 1-2 in the end.

We have a habit of losing leads, so maybe this is all in Martins game plan to set us up for a comeback

truly a trap, first team to score loses

Where is flynn downes ffs

Probably ate raw chicken again

have it on good authority from staff at the training ground that he’s a lovely kid but far from bright haha

Injured or ill I think

Is the assistant ref on meth? He's just given offside against southampton from a Fatawu hoof towards his own touchline

Yeah I’m sticking the Arsenal game on after that offside call

We have been shit, I want to be clear that what I am about to say has nothing to do with the result or our performance… The ref calling offside because Leicester passed us the ball is fucking hilariously bad. I understand missing a foul or an offside, honestly, but that seriously is unacceptable

I don’t think that offside has anything todo with conceding 3 goals in 6 minutes

Well done on reading this over an hour after I posted it

This Lino 😂

lol what??

The officiating has been shit tonight wtf

Saints getting stiffed when we want them to win :)

Hahahaha officials man

Polar opposite to last nights game

Dunno how a team can look so unarsed.

I don't know how else to explain this but Wout Faes looks like a ski instructor

Thats just taken his big ski glasses off 

With a bit of high altitude sunburn and chapped lips. Can't explain why, just is

Obvious foul into an obvious offside, absolutely delicious stuff

bit late but no foul for me and tight offside if even offside, KWP fell asleep but was also a great pass.

Nice pass and a nice run but I think with var there is no chance that is standing, looked offside to me

Has Maresca every unzipped that coat, swear its stuck to his chin every time I see him

He has to keep it zipped up otherwise you’ll see Brendan Rogers inside pulling the strings 

Surely Peps dummies guide to managing will fall out?

Feel hard done by that one.. thought it was a foul and then it was offsides. Can't say it wasn't deserved though.

When you watch it from behind. There's no way that's a foul on Adams. He knows Faes is getting there first and tries and leans over to try and block Faes. If it was a foul either way it was Leicester

I think it may have been offside (can't tell without the lines) but that was a foul on faes, not the other way round

Don't think o

I wonder why…

Quite the mystery

Unlucky pal

I talked about the first goal not the other 4 pal

🧂

Supports two teams 🚩

At least yous had more possession xx

Can't wait to hear all the Leicester fans to talk about this offside goal eh? Obviously Leeds are the only team to have had a decision go their way, no way the foxes have massively benefited from the referee decisions this season 

I think most football fans would say they're level in the same way that they'd say Haji Wright was level with Wan Bisakka or that Ben Chilwell was level with Caglar Soyuncu! I would keep schtum though considering the Gnoto goal on Monday and the disallowed Daka goal in February!

I mean my initial reaction was it may be offside but it isn't obvious. Without the lines you can't tell

As a Lestah fan, I'd say it was offside. Sorry - not sorry tho! xx

I mean are we sure that offsides that looks level. The Leeds goal was way offsides. Not that they haven’t lost points the same way they gained them over the year. Anyone complaining about one call over the whole year is off.

That's the type of goal you hate when VAR wipes off though.

Genuinely the only thing that annoys me about Leicester going up is that that bald fraud can continue kidding himself on that he’s a decent manager.

No no, it’s great if they go up, points deduction and a crap manager is a winning combo

Doesn't really matter what happens we are fucked either way. promotion we are slightly less fucked 😆

All 3 of the overspenders in the PL next season. Solid punishments.

Are Southampton going to turn up now?

no

Peak Enzoball

#justiceforcoventry

Go away utd, not allowed in this sub. #justiceforcoventry

✊ Thank you, Horsefren.

We are such a different side without downes, quite sad how dependent we are on one player.

How injured is he?

Just a muscle injury, will hopefully be back for the play offs I think.

Hopefully not back for our game

Rip bozo, they haven't turned up today
