Charlton won 1-0 up to 4th...

Leeds have still to go to Charlton I think ! That will be a 6 pointer.
Tranmere will be relegated now.

They have indeed! And Norwich are our visitors this coming Saturday...



That was a fairly desperate result. If Tranmere go down (and you have a game in hand, so it's not hopeless by any means), it'll be because of the wretched start to the season you had. The game Charlton had at Prenton Park was by some margin the easiest win we've had this season...

With due apologies to Arsenal fans, the first Spurs goal tonight was rather special!...

That's definitely got to be a contender for goal of the season.

Liverpool are now for sale.

I've got 10p to spare

You could afford Portsmouth too, then!



.... with change to spare!

*wonders how many people would need to contribute 10p in order for them to have enough to buy Liverpool*

Would it more more 10p's than there are people in the world?

Don't lure me into verifying arithmetic! I've thrown away my red pen - and it wasn't even a Liverpool one.

I've got two 10p coins. One with the new design on it

I was hoping you'd work it out.

Oh, alright then!

According to Google, a minute ago the population was 6,692,030,277.

6,692,030,277 x 10p = £669,203,027.70 ~ £669m

Would that be enough? Or is that merely a year's salary for the centre-forward?

How much did Mike Ashley buy Newcastle for?

Around £134 million, I think

Google says that in 2007 he offered £133m.

Then I say that the whole world should put 10p in to buy Liverpool.

Then I say, as a 10p shareholder in the club, that Liverpool sell Fernando Torres to Charlton

Save your 10p. I'll put in 20p and he goes to Middlesbrough.

I love him far more than you do, so there

OK. You can have Torres if we can have Gerrard

He wouldnt have to move if he played for Tranmere ! (many Liverpool players, and Rafa, live here on the Wirral, most of the others live north of Liverpool - Formby up to Southport. Rafa paid £3.5m for his house near here on Caldy Hill)

Deal!

Martin Broughton, the BA chairman, is now the new chairman of Liverpool.

And apparently, he's a Chelsea supporter...

Now we know who Torres and Gerrard will be playing for in the summer

You cynic CE

Reading haven't taken long to score

Car Expert

6-0 to Reading... wow!

But wins for Leicester and Swansea today means Swansea just need one more point or Blackpool need one more win to end our play-off hopes...

Promotion parties have started at Norwich (unfortunately for Barry ), Notts County, Rochdale and Stevenage.

West Brom v Boro is live on BBC2 at 5:15pm.

Yay a win for Tranmere. Still in bottom four but a match in hand. Congrats to Norwich and Stevenage where I have some family connections

We weren't good today. Lots of goal attempts at first, then they scored and our heads went down. Not promotion form, I'm afraid.

At least the three teams directly above you all dropped points. And you're all but guaranteed a play-off place now.

Orient are four points clear of the drop zone after winning 2-0 against Stockport. Lewes thrashed Dorchester 5-0 to climb out of the relegation zone for the first time in ages! Just another win at home against play-off contenders Bath City in midweek will condemn Worcester to relegation going into the final weekend of the season in the Blue Square South...

Car Expert

Yes, but if we continue to play like we did today, we're staying in league 1.

Not going well...

You could drive a bus through the gaps in Boro's defence...

I don't know where Wheater is. He and McManus had be doing well together.

Wheats hurt his ankle in training.

This is awful

Injured Flossie, I'm afraid. Apparently did his ankle in

edit : what Babybird2 said...

We're just playing because we have to, just for the sake of it

Sounds like it's a good job I'm following the live text rather than watching it.

Oh, I thought you were watching it!

Probably, yes...

You can watch the live action on the BBC website. Might not make great viewing for you though...

No. Have been out for the day. Got home and my housemate had music blaring at full volume and a houseful of drunk friends, so I came into work.

Rubbish.

Playoffs are now mathematically impossible.

Looks like we're in danger of having to play Leeds and Millwall next season.

Barring a mathematical miracle, that's Plymouth down to league 1...

Sorry, even my mathematical skills can't help here!

Yep indeedy. Didn't watch it as I don't have sky but sounds like they didn't deserve to win. Oh well all the fair weather fans who jumped on the bandwagon when they were doing well will be off again now...... ;-)

That's happened to Charlton, too. One lot went when we were relegated from the Premiership in '07, another lot went when we were relegated from the Championship in '09. We now have a Premiership standard stadium that echoes in every match...

edit : Plymouth have definitely gone - Sheffield Wednesday and Crystal Palace have got to play each other...

Yeah I know. Understandably it was all over the radio yesterday that they NEEDED to win but was never gonna happen (team up for promotion against team fighting relegation)!

If England win the right to host the World Cup, at least Plymouth will get a posh stadium...

*edit* I now have no idea where our closest Premiership or championship team is!!! Weird!

*thinks*

Bristol City, in the Championship? I know that's a bit like saying that Coventry or Leicester is local to me, but still...

...and Newcastle won the Championship

Look on the bright side : you won't have to see that horrid yellow away strip in the Championship next season...

Plymouth will have local derbies against Yeovil and Exeter to look forward to next season (providing both teams stay up)...
