    Really dislike Luton, not looking forward to the media wankfest that will happen if they go up. 

    Massive dive for their pen just now. 
    Why? 
    Luton away 2018.
    Plastic pitch
    ID cards

    And like Palace they keep changing their home colours.

    Yep, that's enough to rub anyone the wrong way!

    Accrington, currently 0-1 up away at Bolton.

    If they win they are two points from safety. Their last two fixtures? Cambridge (23rd) and Oxford United (19th).

    Really hope they stay up.

    The biggest anti football team in the division.

    My mate supports them, plus they are a well run club. Andy Holt is a good man.

    Oxford 2-0 up over Cheltenham. After a dismal run of games without a win, that could be a season saving performance

    Ordinarily I'd be rooting for Accrington to go down, but our 3rd XI cricket captain supports them and he's having about the worst year imaginable, so for his sake, them staying up would be nice

    Huge result for them if it stays like this.

    Basically almost seals promotion for them and Plymouth.

    Amazing that Wednesday have 90 point with 2 games to go, and will probably miss automatic promotion!

    4-0 now. Where did that come from?

    When teams are safe in midtable near the end of a season, they'll quite often be surprisingly easy to thump. As we may have noticed of late

    Stevenage win, and require just 2 points to guarantee promotion to L1. 

    Indeed it looks like the 3 automatics will be relatively southern (Orient, Northampton, Stevenage) with the playoffs between northern sides

    Such joy and if those fixtures don’t get you salivating then you’re a football snob like me who’s sick to death of this pony league and the clubs that are in it

    Need to rely on Carlisle winning the playoffs now if we’re to have any chance of getting out of this poxy league next season.

    League one is ridiculous this year. Ipswich are probably going to get 100 goals and 100 points and not win the league. They've been relentless, last 13 games, 12 wins, 1 draw and only 2 goals conceded. Included in that run were wins away to Bolton, Derby, Peterborough and Barnsley, all without conceding.

    Plymouth definitely aren't getting the plaudits they deserve for being top ahead of them.

    With 12 games to go Sheff Weds were 3 points clear of Plymouth and 5 clear of Ipswich with 2 games in hand. They've fucked it up big time.

    Fascinating at the bottom of the Championship. Two games to go and still no team is mathematically relegated.

    It's looking bleak for Blackpool who are 3 points back, behind on goal difference and facing two top half sides.

    Wigan have more of a mountain with a 4 point gap and behind on goal difference but with their recent form, you wouldn't put two wins against 22nd Reading and 19th Rotherham past them.

    Meanwhile, tomorrow night 19th Rotherham are playing 20th Cardiff - can see both sides playing out a draw. Another point for either make them very difficult to catch.


    Last but not least, looking ahead to the final day of the season and 21st Huddersfield hosting 22nd Reading. It could all come down to that last game to decide who goes down.

    Absolutely incredible how much MK Dons fucked it today

    And Barnsley had nothing to play for as already assured of play off place so when I saw MKD were 4-1 up I thought that was it.

    Oxford safe now. Charlton clearly wanted MK to get relegated, by beating them and losing to Morecambe in the same week...

    Wednesday can feel a bit hard done by, on 93 points with a game to go, and still missing automatic promotion!

    If both Plymouth and Ipswich aren't on the beach already, we could have 2 teams getting over 100 points.

    Oh yes, playing for a league title on the last day is definitely beach territory :p

    Which team in League Two got pipped by I think Joey Barton’s mob last game of last season (who won massively ) to miss out on automatics by goal diff when JB’s mob won by a massive scoreline was it Northampton ?

    Going in to yesterday’s game Stockport were 5 points behind Northampton with 2 games to go and were away at leaders orient and with a better goal diff than Northampton 
    stockport won 0-3 
    Northampton were 1-1 with Bradford but let in a 94th minute goal to leave them needing a win at nothing to play for Tranmere next week to guarantee promotion rather than a draw 
    Stockport go to already relegated Hartlepool 
    surely it can’t happen to Northampton again 



    just googled it

    OK, not the beach, but teams can be down 10% after clinching promotion.

    As it happens, both Ipswich and Plymouth are playing teams with nothing to play for, so should win

    Huddersfield win at Cardiff today, and just need a point from their last 2 games to ensure safety

    Rotherham beat Middlesbrough 1-0 (who had Dijksteel sent off) and are now safe.

    Also means that Luton are confirmed to finish 3rd and Boro 4th. 

    Relegation is now down to just Huddersfield and Reading. If Huddersfield get a point at home to Sheff Utd this week then they're safe. If they lose it goes to the last day with Huddersfield at home to Reading.

    Who would have thought, that after all those years of yo-yoing, Rotherham would stay up after Paul Warne left! Brilliant job by Matt Taylor

    Cambridge lose at Burton tonight, so are still in deep trouble. A really exciting final day at the bottom on Sunday, with realistically MKD, Morecambe and Cambridge all fighting for one place above the dropzone
