Yes, having 4 teams going at more than 2 points a game is remarkable for the Championship.
Many folk were assuming that Leicester were home and dry a month or two ago and it was just a question of whether they would reach a record points tally.
More seriously though, thanks for keeping an eye out. Just ridiculously busy right now.
I had a manic week in Brazil, had a delayed flight on return leading to a missed connection which kept me stuck in Lisbon. Got back last Thurs and on Friday we had our first touring cricket team arrive for the weekend. They left on Sunday night and by early Monday morning, I was heading to Costa del Sol on a work related trip.
Might not be around too much for the next couple of weeks either. Another cricket squad arriving on Sat for 5 days and then organising an 8 team tournament the following weekend. So I haven't been able to follow any tennis at all recently.
Good to know you are OK Bob. It's always when a regular goes missing for more than a week without seeking permission in advance. SOunds like you are enjoying life though !

But all is fine.
That sounds a crazy schedule! We were in Palma this last weekend for a long weekend break, but thats the extent of my recent travels - got a work trip to Jamaica in early May though, Kingston. Should be interesting - been to Montego Bay (with work - only work trip my wife came on!) last year and somehow weve got another ,
Having been out for the last 2 years due to a very serious knee injury, Stuart Dallas has announced his retirement shortly before his 33rd birthday later this month.

Fractured femur. He was and remains a club legend. I really hope the club find some kind of role for him within the club, be that coaching or some kind of ambassadorial role.
4 more days of madness for me, then I might be around a little more often.
So the Championship enters its final week and despite Leeds' apparently recent mighty efforts to muck it all up they might yet get automatic promotion, though Ipswich would currently be favourites to join Leicester.
So it comes down to Leeds almost certainly 'just' needing to get at least as many points from their one remaining match ( H vs Southampton on Saturday ) as Ipswich get from their 2 remaining matches ( A vs Coventry on Tuesday and H vs Huddersfield on Saturday ) with their 7 goals superior GD.
The I would think good thing for Leeds is that Southampton have finally fallen out of automatic promotion contention so will their eyes maybe be much more on the coming play-offs? The bad thing is clearly 2 matches vs 1 match.
Not a Leeds supporters as such but I definitely think the Premier League would be the better for having Leeds back there next season. Go, guys!
Its very interesting - Coventry is a possible banana skin away from home and could win that; whilst Ipswich should be the terriers, at home, Leeds can beat Southampton. I reckon Coventry is the key match in all this.
