May 6, 20187 yr Burton, Barnsley, and Sunderland relegated from the Championship. Cardiff and Wolves win automatic promotion. Fulham, Villa, Derby, and Middlesbrough go into the playoffs for the final promotion spot.
May 6, 20187 yr If only I could have watched it, it must have been something. 2nd place went to Cardiff City, the scores might have changed, the results didn't: Cardiff City 0, Reading 0 Birmingham 3, Fulham 1 The last playoff spot went to Derby County, despite a red card laden Preston scoring to win their game late Derby County 4, Barnsley 1 Preston 2, Burton 1 What must have been something else was the relegation battle, because it changed a lot near the end.
May 6, 20187 yr Fulham or Villa for that final spot. Either would be fun to have back in the Premiership. Edited May 6, 20187 yr by mdmost
May 6, 20187 yr So on the relegation race, what I was saying: Cardiff City 0, Reading 0 - Reading probably felt safe with Barnsley getting thumped and they couldn't get caught by Bolton. Birmingham 3, Fulham 1 - Birmingham was up 2-0 and probably feeling comfortable. It got tight with a Fulham score in the 84', but Birmingham got that back in the 89' and put it away. Derby County 4, Barnsley 1 Preston 2, Burton 1Bolton 3, Nottingham Forest 2 This was the drama. Starting the day the race was: Barnsley 41/-21 Burton 41/-42 Bolton 40/-36 Sunderland relegated Derby Country scored first (14'), moving Burton out of relegation and pushing down Barnsley: Burton, Barnsley, Bolton Preston would then score (26'): Barnsley, Bolton, Burton on GD. That is how the games would go into the half. 50' Preston gets a red card forcing them to 10 men 55' Derby County tightens the screws with a 2nd goal, but Barnsley were still safe 63' Burton levels their game, moving them up: Burton, Barnsley, Bolton 67' Boton goes up 1-0, moving them to safety: Bolton, Burton, Barnsley 68' Derby takes Barnsley's fate out of their hands with a 3rd, they would then need help to stay up (each club would get 1 more, but they don't matter) 70' Forest helps equalizing: Burton, Barnsley, Bolton 79' Forest take a 2-1 looking like it was the end for Bolton 87' Bolton get one back 2-2, but they still needed 1 more .... 88' Bolton get's that one 3-2: Bolton, Burton, Barnsley 90+3' Insult to injury, Preston score a 2nd to beat Burton to push them down the standings: Bolton, Barnsley, Burton Whistles Edited May 6, 20187 yr by Captain Ron
May 6, 20187 yr Rushing back Kane has been bad for Spurs. He hasn't played well at all the last month since coming back from injury.
May 6, 20187 yr In case anyone cares, the last second goal against Everton didn't really change the equation for Southampton. Get three points against Swansea on Tuesday and Southampton are essentially staying up on GD (baring a 8 goal difference collapse on Sunday) Edited May 6, 20187 yr by yoladu
May 6, 20187 yr also of interest.... for West Brom to stay up these things have to happen. 01) the Swansea/Southampton game on Tuesday must end in a draw. 02) Southampton must lose against City on Sunday 03) Swansea must lose against Stoke on Sunday 04) West Brom must beat Palace on Sunday and make up a 4 goal differential with Southampton Edited May 6, 20187 yr by yoladu

May 6, 20187 yr I reckon Liverpool fans should start sweating a bit, too. It's a funny game.Probably not but damn that would make the CL final even more interesting
May 7, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, Surly Bevo said: Probably not but damn that would make the CL final even more interesting why probably not? Liverpool has only one game left to play. If... Spurs beat Newcastle and Chelsea beat Huddersfield midweek going into the final weekend it will be 3 Tottenham 74 4 Liverpool 72 5 Chelsea 72 all three teams have should be wins on Sunday (Leicester, Newcastle, and Brighton) , but i imagine one of those games may not go as we think.
May 7, 20187 yr It will be interesting. Pool on 72 at 37 matches.Spurs 71, Chelsea 69 at 36 matches.Lot of ifs, but CL qualification and relegation is going to make this a very interesting 7 days.
May 7, 20187 yr I went and looked up our EPL predictions over on Shaggy, and some are pretty funny. Two things that stuck out to me- people saying Burnley would be relegated, and (I shit you not), “City in first is crazy. They suck.” Edited May 7, 20187 yr by Goo Punch

May 7, 20187 yr Just now, maninblack said: Was that Sidis? Yep. Followed up by G650 who said, “Pre-fucking-cisely.”
May 7, 20187 yr To be fair, how many said Leicester would never be able to maintain and win the league.

I expect Villa and Fulham to both advance from the first round and face each other for that last spot. Should be a fun next couple of weeks.

I'm really looking forward to this match today. It's a cup final for both.
May 8, 20187 yr No Charlie Adam and the lack of a single Everton player on that team makes it invalid.
