Eire Saint

Such a shame this is dominating the coverage of this massive game for us. Hoping this is just an ex-intern being an idiot to try to build reputation with his former employer. The pearl clutching across some of the media is ridiculous though. Best way to deal with this is to smash them on the pitch today. An early goal will help to quiten the place. COYS

Sounds like the son in law from the royle family on co commentary on the stream I'm watching

The rest of the possible playoff teams all need to field their strongest teams tomorrow. I'd take the advantage of having a rested first team over a home/away order preference vs boro. Team have been flat out for the past month. Need fresh legs for the playoffs.

Boro have a tough game away to Wrexham, if we beat Preston a draw won't do them. Not worth risking playoff burnout for though. See how a second string side get on, give the majority of our first team an 11 day prep for the Boro game. We've been the best team in the league the past 3 months, in our hands. Hope Ipswich get 2nd, nothing to fear from the rest. COYS.

One win in their last eight games. They'd be my preference. Don't want Milwall or Ipswich until the final and there is a scrap for sixth, so whoever finishes there will be the form team out of that Wreham, Hull, Derby mini league.

Watford have only picked up one point in their last 5, so we're likely to be in 5th when we play Ipswich. That game will probably determine our home/away order in a playoff vs Boro.

Officiating in this league is so bad. Never a pen.

Was a good call to take Downes off at half time. Swansea trying to wind up our players was one of their tactics, Downes took the bait. Spot on from Tonda.

Down to 9/1 today same odds as Milwall

80/1 to finish 2nd before the game. Now 33/1.

Being a Saints fan is such a bipolar experience. We don't do average, from our form, manager, goalkeeper. Either awful or the best. From looking for a standard decent manager to steady the ship, we now have one of the hottest prospects in europe. Similar situation with our keeper, probably the best in the league, will be doing well to hold onto him. Relegation battle to the best team in the league. Scraping past doncaster in the cup to beating arsenal. It's a rollercoaster! We've always been streaky, but this season is off the charts. Amazing. Let's see this out and get back where we belong!

I'd swap out Downes and Jander for Bragg and Charles. Downes losing his head a bit.

A Hull win gives us a better chance of catching Wrexham, but think I'd prefer a draw to keep Hull in the mix if we close the gap tomorrow.

9 goals scored against leicester this season. Some partial redemption.

Divisive from the off, would be a crazy appointment. Impossible to build positivity and get the fans back behind the team when so many of us hate his style of play.

I found this one. 1995, about 60 mins long

Singled out for praise here... http://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-winners-and-losers-36

If Liverpool win the Europa final and have qualified for the Europa for next year already, that place gets converted to a Champions League spot and 7 teams qualify for Europe. (5 CL & 2 EL) If they win the Europa and haven't qualified for Europa for next season then they will get a Champions League place and none of the teams who have qualified for Europe already will lose their places. So 8 teams will be there next season (5 CL & 3 EL)

If we win Sunday then we get 3 shots at a Europa place: Bournemouth win West Ham draw/lose United win the cup We'd be very unlucky if none of those happened. Gotta be odds on now.

Annoying how Kane always gets the golden boy full name treatment... "Eriksen, Lamela, Son, HARRY KANE"

West Hams goal difference advantage evaporating!

This article is saying 8th could get a Europa place. http://buzz.ie/explained-how-teams-will-qualify-for-the-champions-league-and-europa-league/

Was going by this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_national_under-21_football_team Recent call ups by players from: Angers, Strasbourg, Sedan, Le Havre, FC Nantes, Caen - All Ligue 2

There are numerous players in the French U21 squad currently playing in Ligue 2 in France, I'd say English League One this year is a higher standard than that League. Just for the record Tony Cascarino is still one and two in the most goals scored per season chart for the past 28 years in that league! I rest my case.
