Rotherham's away from speaks for itself for all the wrong reasons. 18 away league games - 48 conceded, average of more than 2.5 per away game. Norwich are 5th in the home form table. Risky going for an early game technically, with Barca's game tonight. Lewandowski to score once at odds-on seems quite generous to me - 4 in his last 5.

Happy belated birthday, hope you had a good time!

Maybe because it's closer to home that it's now occurring, but I've never been closer to agreeing with this too until now. Like Dan mentioned, football is being decided by stuff off the pitch as opposed to on it, out of the control of the players and fans. Especially the latter that pour their heart and soul into the club, only for that soul of the league and industry to be ripped apart by external factors. It's really depressing. As a fan I'll still support my club, but I do think at times now what is the actual point when it seems even we can't influence things positively like before. I often look back at our 15/16 win not just because of nostalgia, but also it appeared to seriously piss off the hierarchy and it perhaps signalled the beginning of the end of hope for non-big-six clubs to compete.

Think we lose this too. And then lose top spot as Ipswich and Leeds play again before we do after this weekend.

And Liverpool vs Man City!

I don't think anybody really knows what the rulings are or what will happen. So many clubs could fall foul of it, and it may be a situation where about 7 or 8 clubs start on negative points next season in PL. What I do find laughable is that we may be punished by EFL for a rule breach that doesn't necessarily concern them when you look at the seasons involved. Also, infuriatingly, is our senior hierarchy who have fucked about for way too long and some of those individuals are so far out of their depth that they've pretty much run us into the ground financially. Either way, it's become a non-competitive sport off the pitch. You can risk everything and lose it all, or not risk everything and get fucked anyway. PL only have the interest of a few clubs, the rest can go fuck themselves in their eyes. It's become a bit of a mockery now.

Make yourselves useful at least once this season.

@RandoEFC how will you choose points for driver match-ups where both players score 0 in a season?

Pole Position - Which driver will post the fastest lap in Q3? Verstappen Podium - Which drivers will finish the Grand Prix in the top three positions AFTER MAX VERSTAPPEN IS REMOVED FROM THE RESULTS? 1. Leclerc 2. Perez 3. Russell Random Driver - Predict the finishing position of this week's random driver, Charles Leclerc. 3rd Bonus Question - Which team will have the highest finishing position out of Williams, VCARB, Haas, Sauber and Alpine? VCARB Extra Season Prediction - A more interesting set of match-up predictions to replace the team-mate battles where so many people have predicted almost the same combination. This is a question of who will finish higher in the Championship and not linked to the Saudi race specifically! Which driver will finish higher in the Drivers' standings of each of these combinations? Verstappen Leclerc Norris Russell Piastri Gasly Albon Hulkenberg Ricciardo Magnussen

The 2 decisions in the QPR game are obscene.

Not many midweeks left. Wonder if one of them will be before their game with you.

1 up @Bluebird Hewitt

Their game is postponed as expected. No doubt some Preston fans travelled all that way too by now as well...

Not sure what's worse - Jeremy Hunt having the gall to think cutting national insurance by 2p is going to solve people's financial woes, or the fact that people will still vote for that sham of a party thinking they are better off because of it. It's a tax cut for the rich, not anyone else.

Jeez. Hope anyone there or affected is okay.

Exactly - the reward is actually punishment in the long term.
