    To be fair, that penalty Deeney had in the FA Cup semi final is a moment I’ll never forget.

    Who would have ever thought that the two greatest moments of the Pozzo era were facilitated by Michael Oliver? Deserves a statue.

    That was during his ‘last minute penalty’ phase.

    While is sounds like a technicality for Burnley, to have potentially two teams promoted while under a transfer embargo pretty much sums up football at the moment.

    Well we’d probably perform a lot better too if Gino was put under a transfer embargo.

    I can stomach us not being involved in the end of season jamboree, it's our own damned fault,to misquote Jimmy Buffett.

    To witness those good-for-nothing slimey hairballs from that flea ridden khazi of a dump gain a spot,let alone be promoted, is repulsive beyond measure.

    Beggar off!

    This Rob Edwards chap looks like a good manager. Seems like someone we should've gone for.

    No pedigree. Give me a winner like Bilic over him any day.

    Reading and Cardiff are our only hopes of closing the gap after this round of fixtures, Huddersfield aren’t competing and Bristol seem to be on holiday already. Not bothered about Sunderland who are just a point ahead and are quite inconsistent, apart from the fact that them winning means the scum have a chance of automatic…

    What do they DO to them up the M1?

    Is it that the opposition players believe they have entered Dante's 9th level of Hell with all it's despicable instruments of torture?

    Proven to be out of depth after 10 games I am told. Look what Bilic achieved after!

    Don't worry guys we will stroll the Championship next season with a star studded squad from Manga and Costa. Hopefully we can pass that lot on the way up. If you want some of what I am drinking to be saying this, Big Jeff from Esso told me so.

    Can someone please re-spread that virus that Nathan Jones was whinging about? These one-goal wins are getting tedious.

    What sort of monstrosity is Huddersfield's kit?

    Looks like Ronald McDonald designed it.

    Hideous.

    Not the worst set of results really. Think that should take Sunderland out of contention if they lose tonight.

    Win on Saturday and we'll almost be within touching distance, with Blackburn and WBA having to respond after the international break.

    Worth pointing out if that happens their games in hand are against Burnley and Sheff Utd respectively.

    Wigan is a must-win.

    The game after that is an absolutely must win at any cost.

    We’ve got to overtake one of Millwall, Luton and Blackburn. We need at least one of those to trip up. Not great this week.

    Norwich fans saying their season is finished on Twitter. Thought they were being dramatic as only 4 points off 6th, but didn't realise how tough their run in is.

    They've still got to play Sheff Utd, Blackburn (A), Boro (A) and West Brom (A).
