The Football.....

Nice to see Tranmere Rovers get promoted back to the Football League. Especially after playing 89 minutes with 10 men!

Just seen this..... Attendance:16,306
In a stadium that holds 100,000,or near abouts. Why play the National league and Leagues 1 and 2 play off finals at Wembley. They should either be 2 legs,home and away,or at a midlands ground that holds around 25,000. That's why i said i wouldn't go and watch Accy Stanley play at Wembley,if they'd been in the play off final. Our fans would've been like a pea on a drum.

If Swansea win by 5 clear goals today against bottom club Stoke and Southampton let in 5 goals without reply against Man City, Swansea will stay up yes? Both those results are possible if not likely to happen. Also..If Liverpool don't end up in the Premiership's top 4 but go onto win the Champions League will they qualify for next season's Champions League? Meaning do the winners have automatic qualification or did they bin that a few years ago?

There's a few changes to the CL next season. Obviously, it's all about the cash and soon it will be like school where everyone gets a medal and everyone qualifies.

A non football liking friend of mine asked if Accrington were in it next season,seeing as they are League 2 Champions.
I smiled and told her that it doesn't quite work like that,but in a way it's a good question. She couldn't understand why someone who finishes 4th gets to play in the Champions League, if they aren't "champions". I've always prefered the old European Cup title.

Yeah, I think I did myself once I saw through all the marketing hype. Although to be fair, the theme tune blasting out in your home ground does leave the hairs on your kneck standing on end.

It has been a while for me and my club though.

It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that Man City could smash seven or eight past Southampton today, should they chose to turn it on.

The problem for Swansea is they can't buy goals, let alone score enough to stay safe.

The shown match here this arvo is Liverpool v Brighton.

Chelsea (at Newcastle) must win and Liverpool have to lose in order for Chelsea to get 4th place and thus qualify for the CL next season.

Nail-biting times for IanRauk, non?

 

[Dave7]

Some interesting scores today eg Celtic losing.
Lpool 2 nil up (even Neville says they SHOULD have had 3 penalties.
Chelsea losing.......looks like they have lost out on top four.
Spurs losing.

Jesus! Man City got a hundred points!

The end of a fairly poor season.

The movement and passing was a delight today.
I wish we could have played the rest of the season like that?⚒️

 

[gavgav]

The Mighty Shrews are at Wembley again!! Massive prize at stake this time. At the Fifth time of asking, can we please win a game at the National Stadium?!

The end of a fairly poor season.

That's slightly better than the *iss poor season we've had.

Might revise this assessment if we actually bother to turn up on Saturday and beat MUFC.

We took a chance and booked flights to Kiev for next Thursday back in October and although we go via Cologne, for less than £100 return we got what now looks the best deal possible!

CL qualifiers have become a joke.
4 qualifying rounds.
8 midweek games in 8 weeks before the season begins properly.

Meanwhile the chosen few waltz straight in, not based on ability, but on the size of the TV audience and money involved.
