Rovers drew 1-1 with Swansea in the early Championship game, if it wasn't already then their play-off dream is now well and truly over.

Joey's Bristol Rovers are 2-0 up on Accy at the break, be a big 3 points if they hold on.

No Oliver Younger in Sunderland squad. Hoping he’s not injured again.

QPR beating Wycombe 1-0 after a goal by Ilias Chair. He'll be relieved after missing a sitter earlier on.

Sofa so good for Chair & QPR.

He's got no worries about being benched!

Well Wycombe are the Chairboys

Pity about the draw at deadwood ... I had the swans down to win on my Super Six

Wellsy1882 · Post by **Wellsy1882** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 8:28 pm

Accy only 4 down

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 8:36 pm

Duffers Cheltenham 3-1 down at Mansfield, 4 goals in the space of 12 minutes. but with the other results they should stay top.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 9:12 pm

Stanley got a consolation, but that won't be much solace for them, a vital 3 points for Joey though in his relegation battle.

Sunderland going well at the moment. Could be a North East derby next season if Newcastle keep up their current form.

That'll suit us just fine, of course there could also be a East Lancs derby if we're not careful, so let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

What a game this Juve 1 is

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:35 pm

Ronaldo turns his back and jumps. FK under him gives Porto lead with 5 to go. He’d never get in a Dyche team.
Juve immediately pull one back but need 1 more.
Fantastic match.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:48 pm

Dortmund through Haaland with a brace, Juve and Ronaldo out, can Porto repeat their 2004 feat, I doubt it given the calibre of the sides remaining, but this is a weird season in so many respects that nothing would surprise you would it.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:38 pm

City 1 Southampton 1 decent game.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:40 pm

Lovely goal by Mahrez 2-1. After what looked to be a stonewall pen turned away.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:40 pm

Make that 2 1 City

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:44 pm

Be just like Man City to struggle a bit for the rest of the season as they have Fulham away at the weekend.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:47 pm

Not looking like it, Spijed. 3-1.

If Fulham beat City at the weekend things are conspiring against us.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:56 pm

Almost unbelievable that City penalty wasn’t given. Couldn’t be clearer.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 6:58 pm

With the help of VAR and they STILL can't see it !
What the hell is wrong with these officials

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:09 pm

Come on City. 3 more at least. GD counts you know! (For us)

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:15 pm

4 that's good!

Easy too. Very poor defending.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:16 pm

Blimey! Even worse from City!

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:18 pm

This could finish about 8 -4

Can’t be many worse keepers in the league than Alex McCarthy.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:20 pm

With defending like we have seen, they need Charlie Austin in goal!

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:20 pm

Why else would foden fall over if it wasn't a foul, he was clean through on goal.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:27 pm

There appears to be some prem 'unwritten rules'.
If you win the league, on the way you get every help...until they decide 'job done'.

The following season, you get nothing.

Man City are in the first ruling now. Job done. This allows 'fairness' to be perceived.

Liverpool getting nothing this season.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:28 pm

Burnley get nothing, no matter what, because we do not add value to the Prem product, when compared to others, who could replace us.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 7:40 pm

Good to see City back in the saddle so quickly, same again at the weekend please Pep & co.

Southampton shouldn't get sucked into the relegation fight, but their recent form most be concerning for them, 4 points out of 33 since they beat Liverpool in early January, and a long injury list which is showing no signs of clearing anytime soon.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 9:00 pm

0-0 Barnsley-Derby, Callum Styles played for about an hour before being subbed. Tykes 7 match winning streak ends, but they're still unbeaten in 10, and well in the hunt for a play-off berth.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Mar 10, 2021 9:36 pm

Hold the presses everybody, Liverpool are about to finally win a home game this calendar year, 2-0 to the good against RBL, and 4-0 ahead on aggregate.

Meanwhile in the other game PSG cruising through against Barca, 1-1 on the night, but 5-2 PSG overall, and to compound Barca's misery Messi has missed a penalty.

They had to play away from Anfield to do it though

True! still counts as a home victory in the records though.

Be a great story if they made a return to the PL. though how the media would cope with Barnsley and Burnley in the same division doesn't bear thinking about.

Mo Salah speaks English very fluently.

Good on him.
