Notty up now

Looks like that's that.

All,tied up again

I think Chelsea is fighting Man U for Europa next year at the 6-7 level in the table so Chelsea won't give up here

And now down a goal

And just like that Chelsea is up and Forest not as safe for the last week

Very cagey semi-finals in the Championship. Both matches ended 0-0 in the first leg

Will be a big weekend in the promotion playoffs as the second legs of the Championship playoffs will be on Thursday and Friday. Then the lower divisions will take over as the League One playoff final will be held Saturday and the League Two playoff will be on Sunday, with both to be played at Wembley.

Championship
Promotion Places
1. Leicester City
2. Ipswich Town

Playoffs
3. Leeds United v. 6. Norwich City (first leg--0-0; Second leg Thursday, May 16)
4. Southampton v. 5 West Brom (first leg--0-0; Second leg Friday, May 17)
Playoff Final--Sunday, May 26

All to play for in the two second leg matches on Thursday and Friday as both first legs ended 0-0.

Leeds v. Norwich-Leeds have been in a bad way of late as the Whites have only won 1 of their last 7 matches. We all know how "supportive" the home crowd can be at Elland Road when the clus is not performing, so will be interesting to see how the club handles the pressure. Norwich have lost only 1 of their last 6, so they will travel to Leeds with confidence that they can get a result.

Southampton v. West Brom- Southampton will look to capitalize on the draw at West Brom when they welcome the Baggies to St. Mary's Stadium. The Saints finished 12 points higher in the standings than West Brom and defeated the Baggies twice during the season, but it will come down to 90 miutes on Friday to determine who goes to the playoff final.

League One

1. Portsmouth
2. Derby County

Glad to see mk dons get their dick kicked in. For having no ties to Wimbledon at all, I love to see them struggle for moving the club.

Do you listen to the Total Soccer Show?

No. Why?

One of the hosts grew up a Wimbledon fan and he hates the Dons. I didn't expect many people to be aware of that situation.

Ah, no I just spend too much time reading Wikipedia articles on old and lower level English soccer teams. Did you know (for example) that there's been two League teams in New Brighton across the Mersey from Liverpool? Or the current Accrington Stanley is the third League team in Accrington?

Leeds 4-0 Norwich.

They've talked about it on the Football Show on Sirius XM also.

MK Dons are pretty universally hated on this board for what they did to Wimbledon.

People used to feel that way about Federer too, but eventually most move on.

Wagner is out at Norwich.

That is rough considering that Norwich were predicted to finish mid-table at best. Sounds like the new football director wanted any excuse to get rid of him and get his own man in the position.

Yeah that stinks for Wagner. Norwich way over performed expectations.

Southampton advances!

In reply to heddleston Southampton was my 2nd favorite squad in the EPL before they got relegated

I hope they make it back up.

Oxford United won today in their playoff. They haven't been in the Championship 2nd level in 25 years. So it looks like promoted from League one now is
Portsmouth
Derby County
Oxford

In Premier league, looks like the same 3 that were promoted are going to get relegated :-(
Luton Town
Burnley
Sheffield United

Leeds versus Southampton for final promotion to premier league from championship on Sunday May 26. Should be a good watch. I personally will be rooting for Southampton.
