Just clocked the top of the National League.

Imagine being Rochdale and potentially finishing on 108 points but still not going up automatically.

Have you seen who they play final day? If they get to 108 points then they're definitely up automatically.

That’ll be worth a watch, shame it’s not on sky.

Tranmere with a massive win last night, bottom of League Two is tight!



Barrow v Newport last day of the season too

Carlisle on 95 and a distant third place too and might not come up. I always keep an eye on Carlisle and the league they're in, they should have been closer to promotion, wealthy owners, spent a lot and they've got players on League One money but it just shows how hard it is to get back out the league. Rochdale have blown it a bit, the top 5 or 6 were all really close at one point but Rochdale had 4 games in hand and looked like they'd walk it, I'd imagine their fans are baffled that it's come down to the last game of the season, winner takes all.

Carlisle's trouble is if they get to the play off final they'll probably play either York or Rochdale and they've not even taken a point off either of them, York put 8 past them in their two games earlier in the season.

Haha yeah had no idea they where both playing each other!

There's a funny thing that if York get 2 points from their last 2 matches, then they'll definitely be promoted. However if they get 3 points then it's possible that they won't be.

Hope York do it this year, after they were the ones in the comfortable 2nd place last year. Got a soft spot for them after going to a couple of matches at the old Bootham Crescent in the late 90s.

Isn’t he on a six year contract? That’ll be one hell of a payoff for 3 months work

Goodness, just caught up with the Brighton Chelsea game - the defending was shocking!

Chelsea players unhappy with Rosenior because they might miss out on CL and the financial incentives built into their contracts

Sums them up really

City back on top as things stand on goals scored.

Burnley-City is a training match at this point

Man City kinda need to be making more of this game if there is a chance it could go to goal difference.

Bournemouth winning sadly. Feels like we have to win at West Ham at this point if we’re looking to stay in the European race.

Edit: 1-1 pending VAR

Dang 2-1 now Rayan scoring for them. Surprised nobody else took a chance on him, looks made for PL football.

3-1 Bournemouth, Great
Edit
2-1
