Even Sky are going to have trouble drumming up any excitement for a final day of the season where the only thing up for grabs is fourth place.

Just how I like it. We still have lots to look forward to. Short break, World Cup and transfer window. Europa League, I said EUROPA LEAGUE ....

Wenger wankathon I suspect.

May 1989 0-1 v Scarborough at home.

Highlight of the day, press ups world record (?) at halftime by a local bloke Tommy Gildert (?)

I'm happy with the way things have turned out.
Derby bottling it would be excellent but I'm fifty quid better off if they do get promoted so I'm not fussed really.

On 9th May 1987, the 1st Division table was so complete and settled that Radio 2 didn't even broadcast a top game - they went to some 4th division game instead. Orient were playing, I think ...

Yes but what a great final day for us.
A few beers, a lap of honour and not caring what score it finishes.
Should be one great big celebration of a fantastic season.

Yes, just like 9th May 1987! (Except for the "not caring what score" and "fantastic season" bits!)

I didn't attend the Orient game as I was only 6 but this weekend must be it's polar opposite in terms of tension

Normally don't bother with any end of season dead rubber games. I hate non competitive games so I don't attend friendliest any more either. Looking forward to this dead rubber though.

Wasn't it equally as boring last season? I'm sure everything had been decided.
Hull, Middlesborough and Sunderland were all down.

I don’t remember, which means you’re probably right!

We just have to hope that Swansea are 4-0 up at half time and Southampton are 0-5 down. That would make an interesting second half. But tbh we are 7th so it can be as boring as it wants to be , we have had an incredible year UTC

If this is boredom bring it on!
I'll settle for this for the next few seasons.

the most boring day for me was when my friends all left for the city without me, I do not know on the subject of it)

I can cope with boring for a while!

Only missed a couple of games this season and it's been fantastic and the best in my lifetime.

But at the very end my 12 year old has gone and got shingles and school won't have him in case he spreads chicken pox to other kids so the head teacher suggested yesterday that we should to take him away for a few days.

So we are going to Egypt tomorrow afternoon and I will miss the Clarets finale.

Eli would have been impressed!

Wow! I know shingles is very infectious, but I’m sure the Lakes would’ve done!

It's going to be 11 degrees in The Lakes tomorrow. It's 38 in Egypt and the all inclusive bar opens from 9am until midnight

Big drinker is he, your little lad?

The hotel has a water park with 50 slides so I doubt I will see much of the bar keeping an eye on him all day.

Glad I won't be in that pool, reading this...

Are you flying there on a private plane then?

Good idea from the headmaster is that! Go and pass it on to a plane full of folk off on holiday!

I guess sky will show the Liverpool and Chelsea games,but even that will be hard too sell as Liverpool should win fairly comfortably.

yep, "don't come into school, but fell free to infect a plane load of travelers, and anyone and everyone you come into contact with in Egypt - that'll be reet."

Frikkin headmasters, they know nowt

That was my point about flying there on a private plane.

The thing is, Shingles feels just like sunburn so would be very confusing if you got it in a hot country.

some folk are just so damn miserable! Lets party!
