That's special. What a recovery by him after that slip.

Fair play to Ipswich today. They have had some season, even if they do fall short in the end. You can’t help but want them to get one of the two automatic places (along with Leicester, for me. Leeds can try their luck in the play-offs!).

Good goal from dan James.

Glad he's found his feet and he's playing some good stuff for leeds.

10 seconds before James' goal I reckon the Hull player could've won a penalty had he gone down after feeling a tug on his shirt.

The Championship title race has been a thrill this season. Leicester's triumph would lack excitement, while Ipswich would be the darling of the underdog enthusiasts. Granted, in this Man Utd fan enclave, Leeds might not be the top pick, but neutrally speaking, they bring a lot to the Premier League. Their widespread fanbase and raucous stadium epitomise the essence of English football—close-knit supporters generating an electric atmosphere, emblematic of why the English game holds global appeal.

The transformation overseen by McKenna at Ipswich has been nothing short of remarkable. Securing back-to-back promotions would further underscore the Premier League's reputation as the most unpredictable league worldwide, should they ascend. It's the kind of narrative that broadcasters like Sky thrive on, as seen with the pre-season buzz surrounding Luton's rise. Seeing Ipswich join the top flight would undoubtedly inject similar fervor.

As for Leicester, while their return would lack pizzazz, it's hardly fitting to have a recent Premier League winner languishing in the Championship. Therefore, for the third promotion spot, I'd lean towards them or a wildcard entry like Preston or Coventry, just to keep things intriguing.

Leicester look like certs now after a huge blip. Coventry winning, Ellie Simms is a player to keep an eye on.

Deserved win for Leicester! Should see a top 2 spot over the line now. Will be a couple Of twists yet, though, no doubt.

Yes, their last four game of the season will be tough. West Brom Southampton, Preston and potentially Blackburn are all potential banana skins for them. Ipswich will get beaten by Coventry I feel. Leeds really should win all their remaining games except for maybe Southampton on the last day.

Leicester, Southampton & Leeds all playing today & all three should win but the Championship always has upsets. Norwich need a win at Sheffield to keep their playoff position secure. Should be an entertaining day.

Leicester are really limpimg over the line! Fortunately, Leeds could only draw. Need at a win at Plymouth on Friday night. That’s 5 losses in the last 9 league games.
