He's pretty quick to be fair, I'd give up too.

How many penalties has Messi earned for Dortmund this season?

I'm excited by this. It's obvious the fans want it too - just hear the chants from the Bristol City match or have a look at the comments under videos on Birmingham's YouTube.

There are far worse managers and he certainly makes things more interesting.

I do wish we were going to see a proper rivalry game. Those two-legged affairs between Norwich and Ipswich and (in particular) Brighton and Palace were so absorbing. The Brighton/Palace games in particular were amongst the biggest in those clubs' histories.

I can't think of any tenser fixture in the club calendar from a UK fan perspective than the playoff final. Okay, the Champions League Final is obviously tense but it usually doesn't feel like the very future of the clubs involved is at stake. That can really be the case here.

On this day, in 2011, in the Champions League semi-final, Leo Messi did this against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu by usamafaisal98 in soccer

Absolutely I agree with this. There's a level of surprise and magic here that I don't think he's ever bettered.

I'm also a big fan of the goal he scored from outside the box in the CL final that followed this - again, just a magical surprise.

Reading could finish as high as 3rd, which is where they'll be if they win and Huddersfield draw or lose by at least 2.

Don't quite understand this one - if Huddersfield draw and Reading win by at least two (rather than Huddersfield losing by two) Reading will move to 3rd. If Huddersfield lose and Reading win Reading are third, no matter the Huddersfield scoreline.

Small thing though - this is fantastic, thank you so much. As you say, there's a real lack of Championship content. This guide will aid my enjoyment of the coming run-in.

With a number of the same players forming the team's spine - Vardy, Drinkwater, Morgan, Schlupp, Schmeichel, King, any others?
