The Football.....

My County supporting friend is a nervous man. County play Halifax who theoretically could grab third spot while Wrexham are at Dagenham and Redbridge who also need points in a last gasp attempt to grab 8th.

Our local boys, Chorley, went out of the playoffs losing 2-1 at York.

When in my 20s/30s the FA cup game was massive. I would get everything set up by mid day ie beers and sandwiches etc. The build up was fantastic, the fans walking up Wembley Way etc. Good memories 😊

It was similar for me, especially in my younger teens. My grandfather and uncle would come round as they didn't have a telly. They would come for lunch, we would watch the build up and game while my mother would supply tea, juice, sandwiches and biccies. When she bought these in she would sit and feign interest for a few minutes.

It's unlikely I'll do more than watch out for the result on Saturday.

Another BIG win for City......our only hope now**is Westhaaam and I can't see that happening.
**and that is if we don't slip up.
I can really see us winning the treble (if Salah shapes himself) but cannot see the quad.

Quadruple Is a huge undertaking, especially with teams being so close. The draw at the weekend for you guys has killed the title imo .

Wonderful support, I wouldn't have thought Stockport had been 'non League' for 11 long years. Anyway, I hope Wrexham go up as well, via the play-offs.

Stockport are on a WLWLWLWL run so probably more a case of what Wrexham do.

Liverpool will do well to end up with a double. Lot of high pressure games in a short space of time, they will be on their knees and then lining up against Real Madrid

It's a shame that both Leeds and Burnley can't be relegated - the top flight would be cleaner without both teams participating.

Horrendous tackle on Kovacic last night so we are now likely to be without 2 key midfielders in the FA Cup final (Kant already ruled out).

Not over yet.

But I think City's astonishing performances over the last few games have been more important than Liverpool dropping points.

In the same way that people claiming City had bottled it by dropping a 14 point lead were mistaken too- it was a peerless run from Liverpool wot did it.

Just my perspective.

Now hoping City don't lose to West Ham as I don't think I could take a final game where best goal difference would be the objective!

[addendum: all the more so as City no longer have any defenders!]

That's a pity as Chorley when doing well seem to get bigger attendances than Accrington Stanley. Does former Stanley striker Marcus Carver still play for the Magpies?

I can't see us beating City on sunday.Our record against you at the London Stadium is terrible.I'd be over the moon with a draw though as that would near enough guarantee at least seventh place.
#Wolves could pip us if we pick up no points in the next two matches and they beat Norwich(odds on!)and Liverpool

Let's spare a thought for Port Talbot in the JD Cymru South.

P 30, W 0, D 0, L 30, GD --113 PTS 0.

Had my first sighting of Lee Trundle at Port Talbot, we, Rhyl, had been pretty unimpressive most of the season so a trip down there was expected to be another defeat.

The team sheet is announced and we have this new signing, Lee Trundle, chalk and cheese to anything I had seen in the League Of Wales (as it was then called)

Simply a joy to watch at our level and we didn't keep him long as he went on to better things.

I see Spurs are three nil up against Arsenal. A bit of sadness for me on seeing that, I lost a friend a few weeks ago who was a lifelong and ardent Tottenham supporter. He would have been loving this.

They did him proud

we, Rhyl,

Do you live in Rhyl or know it well? I ask because I have a not football related question to ask you if you know the town well and can remember 40 years back.
