Thanks! Yeah its all kind of a whirlwind week of running around and getting things in order. The night of the offer was exciting.. expected some back and forth but somehow it worked out even better. Appreciate it!

Things seemed to have heated up in the last 24 hours about Ragnick. Idk how to feel about it really, well see what happens first off all I suppose.

Ipswich will be wanting a Coventry win tonight and then hope that Coventry drop points at the weekend - meaning that they would face both Hull and Coventry away in essentially dead rubbers. I'd love to see the athletic or somebody do a proper study into 'on the beach' and 'dead rubber' statistics. I'm a bit of a football gambler and I've been wondering if there's actually a bit of an edge in backing those sorts of teams. For example Cardiff at the weekend were 9/1 to beat Southampton at home. We all fancied a Southampton win, but is that price not massively juiced up beyond reality? I think in reality they should've never been 'that' big. I'm buzzing for Preston away on Monday. Funny sport isn't it football. The Millwall and Plymouth week was such a dire pair of showings from us entirely indicative of the sorts of end of season collapses we've suffered in recent years almost habitually at this point. Leeds & Ipswich let us off those results entirely. We got a bit lucky against West Brom but last night was just fantastic - it's added some glory to proceedings again where it felt before almost a bit embarrassing. We've absolutely belted Southampton home and away this season. I do find it interesting how we 'still' seem to be a better team without the ball when we play on the break. That's actually quite encouraging for me ahead of next season where we would have a lot less of the ball. Southampton set up uniquely badly against us in both games which once again vindicates my belief that Martin is a bit of a cretin. I know it's not really his mantra to stifle teams but if they went up under him I could see them getting some absolute spitroastings next season. I mean I can of us, let alone them. *if* we are promoted of course. I'm about 95% sure we're up now but I do wonder if people will get the jitters again should Leeds & Ipswich both win at the weekend. Preston's setup will be the polar opposite to Southampton. No team played further into our hands this season than them. Basically what I'm saying is Preston beating us 1-0 wouldn't flabbergast me.

I'm not knocking Chelsea for doing this if that is the case, but again - just what is the point if you can bypass it with this sort of nonsense. Boring that yet another topic has become about this but it's the inescapable bleak reality of this situation. I'm in a tough position on Leicester. I want to hold those responsible accountable for their utterly dreadful and irresponsible dealings, but I also think they're operating within utterly farcical parameters - particularly given the Chelsea case.

Congrats! Always a great feeling when you end that period of anticipation and nervousness after the offer to then have it accepted. Embrace the moving in process. Stressful sometimes but start of a new chapter!

The conclusion being that @Rucksackfranzose is a bot...

Yep, meant Norwich need 1 win as opposed to 1 point. But one of those teams will pretty much be knocked out of the race tonight as they play each other.

Hull has a game in hand and Coventry has 2 in hand on Norwich.

A few weeks ago I think that would have held some relevance, but with Norwich only needing a point to secure playoffs, I don't think they're as tough as first thought. Ipswich are well rested too considering they had a weekend off. I think they'll beat Coventry but perhaps draw with Hull. What I have learnt though is that just because teams have nothing left to play for in terms of playoffs or survival, they can still throw up a surprise of a performance. So yeah, who the fuck knows what will happen

We rented for about 4 years, we had a first option in the lease and last year July the owner moved and sold it to us at a much lower rate than property in this area goes for. The home had a lot of work, we have spent about 200K on renovations and Solar, there is still a lot to get through. I still don't know how this home ever had wood window frames being so close to the ocean, we took down the triple garage and turned it into a single door, the wooden garage doors were so rotten, you could break them standing on them. I don't have enough surplus now to finish it off so the next batch of updates will be on postponement for a couple months.

I moved into my flat coming up to 3 years ago on a 2 year contract, last year my landlord tried to increase my rent by £7200 a year. We managed to get it it down significantly as he'd previously been telling us porkies about keeping us in long-term. Anyway we are coming up to the end of this contract and I don't have a good feeling about the rental increase, not to mention flat searching in London in the Summer is beyond fucking mental.

Potentially good news! My better half and I have an accepted offer on a townhome. We were pre approved and looking around for a few weeks so its come relatively quickly but we found the nearly perfect place for what we can afford. So far so good as they didnt even counter us, just straight up accepted everything. Been running around this week collecting bank statements and going over strata mins etc. We have an inspection friday and thats basically it before subject removal and then we have about 2 months before move in

I think you were responding to a broken outdated bot, but it still made me laugh lol

No it's true. One of Boehly's other companies bought a hotel off Chelsea for £70m. Apparently Chelsea can prove it's that valuable so it's fine and the whole conflict of interest/money laundering through a different company angle just isn't covered seemingly.

If it's true that Chelsea aren't going to be done because of selling hotels to themselves or whatnot then they need to abolish the rules and reinstate all the docked points immediately. But that's one of those things that's so stupid I wonder if I've just fallen for some bait on Twitter.

Yeah if we can't go up from here it's time to pack it up and call it a day. I think we could quite likely lose the last two and still go up from here tbh.

Southampton have blown this at just the wrong time. Losing to shite and to Cardiff in the space of a few days has destroyed automatic for them now.

Hmm no ..our EDS would destroy them

Actually not that stressed about tonight. I think we have a not insignificant chance of keeping them to a draw. I can't see how we'll really hurt them enough to nick a 1-0 win and if they score first at any time in the game then it's game over. I do expect us to go down maybe 0-2 or something but it's all about survival at this point and we're finally in a good position. Anything we get tonight would be a massive bonus and it would of course be very funny if we could cost them 2 points which could end their title charge but my expectations are zero. I will be pissed off though if we throw in another performance like Chelsea and get embarrassed.
