Looking at Bournemouths last 2 games I think they'll be quietly confident, particularly with Watfords last 2 fixtures. Looking forward to the cup semi final later as well. Should be a good game with two very attacking teams who aren't great defensively.

As we are now relying on those above us to drop points it's worth noting that if Arsenal win the FA cup then 7th spot won't get us into Europe.

[Hibsclaret]

As long as Forest get a point all is good with the world tbh

As we are now relying on those above us to drop points it's worth noting that if Arsenal win the FA cup then 7th spot won't get us into Europe.

It's not that unrealistic that Arsenal could still finish 6th. Wolves have a tough game at Chelsea next week and Spurs last 2 aren't easy.

Bournemouth game looks interesting; they certainly have a chance of survival, it's not unlikely that Watford will get nowt from their last two (Man C home, Arsenal away) and their goal difference could deteriorate a fair bit. A win today for Cherries could see them in a decent position (with Everton away still to come and the toffees being in no great form currently). Southampton, Ings especially are in good form though. Whilst they are close neighbours, I don't think there's much derby-animosity between the clubs but it's a very big match for Bournemouth- I think they'll get a point or 3. I'll have a wee punt on the draw at 11/4.

Barnsley is a good top v bottom type match with Tykes needing a win to have any chance of avoiding relegation. I hope they win to keep their vague hope alive, it doesn't really affect Forest, they're pretty much nailed on for the play-offs. I'm going to have half a crown on Barnsley at 7/4

Man U are favourites v Chelsea and at least that would make it a north v London final. Might be a few goals in it.

Altrincham v Chester, home side to win for local(ish) bragging rights; I read that the Chester players & staff were voluntarily going payless for this or the club couldn't have afforded to enter these play-offs.

Bad for Bournemouth.

Very good for Altrincham and Dartford, the former 3-1 up, and the latter 2-0 up, both heading through to the next stage of the playoffs.

Spurs 1 LCFC 0

Leicester poor on the road again, the wheels really have come off since Xmas.

[tiger76]

2-0 Spurs Harry on the mark again.

[Vegas Claret]

stunning third from Kane

[Vino blanco]

I'm glad Harry Kane is English. What a strike!

[tiger76]

Leicester have fallen apart since the restart, can't see them finishing top 4 on this display.

Spurs 3 shots on target, 3 goals, that's what you call clinical.

[IanMcL]

Just when you want Leicester to do something!

Appalling defending. Twice defender turns back and causes goal, as direct consequence and third time, defender ducks and Kane scores!

They would never play for Burnley.

[Vegas Claret]

did Anthony Taylor just book Jonny Evans twice ?

[jrgbfc]

Shocking from De Gea again. Lost count of the bad errors he's made this season now.

[Vino blanco]

United are back,
Hello, hello,
United are back!!!

What a shame

[tiger76]

Barnsley scored a 93rd minute winner to keep their survival hopes alive.

Drama at the Brackley-Gateshead match, Gateshead squeezed through on pens.
