Ipswich 1 up.

Come on you tractor boys.

Would be great if they could get promoted and would piss Chris Sutton off.

Not having the keeper should be saving that. He's absolutely smashed it in.

Mental few minutes there. Not sure I've ever seen Kane go anywhere but the right of the keeper on a pen.

The near post thing is a bit of a myth I feel.

Ipswich conceded again 1-1

Kim has been a disaster at Bayern.

Commentators on pens if they go in: "Great penalty"
Commentators on pens if they don't go in: "Terrible penalty"

Spot on that is. I've seen players sidefoot them straight down the middle and the keeper's dived out the way - "great composure"

I've seen others almost in the corner where the keeper has finger tipped it onto the post - "nice height for the keeper".

The whole idea of "sending the keeper the wrong way" is hugely overstated too. Keepers have to make a decision early so have usually made their mind up before it's taken.

11 mins added time

Obviously they've got to beat already relegated Huddersfield at home but back to back promotions to the Premier League is an incredible achievement from Ipswich.

The near post thing is a bit of a myth I feel.

I think there may have been a lot more truth to it back when balls were heavier and shots were generally slower.

[Shogun]

Wouldn't mind a couple of Premier League Old Farm derbies next season

[CannockPricey]

They don't even need to beat Huddersfield, a draw would do.

Phenomenal achievement if they do it. Weirdly I think Norwich were the last to do it. Must be something in the water over that way.

Kim has been a disaster at Bayern.

Would we get 40-50m + a devalued Kim for Branthwaite (if he must be sold)? Pressure on Bayern to spend with the title going elsewhere.

Kim could rebuild his career here with a defensive minded manager if Bayern want rid, and we were rumoured to be looking at "the monster" before he went to Bayern. He'd be a vast improvement on our current stocks and we'd still get cash to satisfy the finances.

I do not want to sell Branthwaite, but if there's no choice it'd be terrible to downgrade too far from his level.
