    I bet Sunderland aren't looking forward to playing Wolves in a couple of weeks - last game of the season!

    I'm not sure they'll be that bothered David they're already relegated, in their minds they'll be on the beach or looking for new clubs..

    Great atmosphere at City yesterday, what a difference a week makes!

    And congrats to Mo Salah on winning the player of the year award, well deserved.

    Accy Stanley's 15 game unbeaten run ended at Newport 🤨

    The Champions spot will hopefully come on Saturday at home to Lincoln 😀🏆🏆

    Talking of Champions- well  done to Liverpool last night. I sincerely hope they thrash Roma in the return leg, particularly in light of the idiots who turned up to cause trouble.

    Great times at New York Stadium following last year's calamitous season in the Championship. In League 1 play-offs already and hosting  European U17's Championship matches including the final during May. Well done Manager Paul Warne & his backroom staff for proving so many supporters' (including me) wrong. Doubting Thomas' that we were!        Up the Millers!

    Well that's Championship football for us next season then. Two lessons Town should have learned by now:

    1 if you're pressing high and you give the ball away in a dangerous position you'll get punished result 1-0;

    2 if you don't clear your lines you'll get punished result 2-0.

    The BBC  pundit I heard on the way home reckons we need 3 points from the last three games, that's Man City away, Chelsea away and Aresenal at home in what could be Wenger's last match 

    Iike that's going to happen 😩

    Commiserations & Congratulations to those teams and their supporters involved in promotion or relegation battles.

    On a personal note I am elated that Accrington Stanley not only won promotion, but today secured a Champions slot!!

    Keep the faith, anything can happen in football, and usually does!

    Went to the Burnley v Brighton game yesterday. £20 pensioners ticket and travelled there on the bus, pretty good value for a Premier League game!

    And did Gaetan Bong get some stick....😱

    Thanks Pliers - much appreciated. wink Many of us 'oldies' remember Frank Casper, fbeing sold from our super side of the '60s , to Burnley. Our current problem in the play-offs could be we don't convert the numerous 'chances' that we often create. We have been winning games 1 - 0 when it should have been 3 or 4 many timessurprised. One on one with the goalkeeper is a major concern, but heigh -ho as Alan Shearer often says, "create chances & some are bound to go in". Further good news from NYS this week is we have just won the best ground in League 1 award.smile  After tonight's results it looks like 'Scunny' in the play-offs.

    Wow, what a game it must have been in Rome tonight!

    Well done Liverpool, good luck in the final in Kiev.

    sadly I'm a Sunderland fan going down to the third tier for only the second time in the club's history. On the bright side our absentee American owner has done the decent thing by paying off our debt and "selling" (actually giving it away) to a pretty promising new consortium. Now we wait to see who our new manager will be (I vote Mccarthy) and how much money he'll be given to rebuild the squad. Fingers crossed!

    I was hoping that Arsenal would get through last night, that would have given them  a chance to rest the first team against us and save themselves for the final three days later. Sadly it's not to be and they'll really be up for it in what will be Arsene Wengers last match.

    Sad news for any Baggies fans. They nearly pulled off one of the greatest of all great escapes and in the same year as their talisman went to the great football pitch in the sky. #respect #cyrilregis

    Well what do I know? When Southampton beat Swansea last night I thought we would have to get the point we needed to be safe against Arsenal in the last match or rely on relegated Stoke beating Swansea.

    But we've done on our own. Unbelievable,the only team to keep a clean sheet at the Etihad this season and getting a draw at the Bridge, leading on 50 minutes, pegged back on 62 and those added 6 were the longest.

    Well done Town 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    Also congratulations to City and to Brighton

    Not many people gave Huddersfield a chance a few weeks back, particularly looking at their remaining fixtures, so Yes! Huge Congratulations to them.

    Cheerio Swansea (Surely the Saints won't concede 10 vs City???) but who will join Wolves & Cardiff next year in the Premiership?

    Well done Town, but wheww, don't they put you through it, who'd be a footy fan 😱

    Been a brilliant season for City, last game away at Southampton on Sunday. We have tickets and are taking the 'van down to Hunters Moon for a week. I'm very good at justifying  a weeks holiday out of an away game!

    Any CT people off to watch the World Cup?

    Congratulations  to  all  Champions,  Promoted  Sides  and  (  Yet  To  Be  Decided )  winners  of  the  Play  offs.

    Commiserations  to  all  demoted/relegated  sides  --  there  is  a  special  challenge  for  next  season  wink.

    May  all  those  'released'  players  &  managers  find  a  new  home  as  befits  their  talents.

    Special  thoughts  go  out  to  all  those  Footy  Fans  about  to  suffer  from  the  greatest,  incurable  illness  known  to  mankind  --  Withdrawal  Symptons

    And,  Finally,  may  all  those  much  maligned  officials,  the  Referees  &  Their  Assistants  swiftly  grow  another,  thicker,  layer  of  skin  !!

    Not being single team man, those that I watch for most have either been promoted .... Blackburn Rovers & Tranmere Rovers, or survived .... Newcastle United, Barrow, and East Fife. So not a bad season all round.
