Today's footie 18/5

A bumper round of PL games this evening, and some vital ones to boot.

Man Utd-Fulham this is a meaningless game really for both sides, but the more interesting aspect will be how the 10,000 inside OT make their feelings towards the Glazers known.

Saints-Leeds again a meaningless game really in the grand scheme of things, but it will be interesting to see whether Leeds can repeat their goal blast from Saturday, or whether the Saints can continue their recent upturn in form.

Brighton-City a City win would be welcome for us, we should have a good chance of finishing above Brighton at the weekend.

And last but by no means least the biggie, Chelsea-Leicester and of course a quick reunion after the cup final. the Foxes should be buzzing after lifting their 1st ever FA Cup, but arguably Chelsea's need is greater.

Not forgetting the play-offs.

Oxford-Blackpool and an Oxford side containing Daniel Agyei no less, Karl Robinson is serving a 4 match ban, so he'll be absent for their entire play-off campaign.

Newport-Forest Green also has a story to tell as the Collins brothers line up on opposing sides.

When there's a choice I always seem to end up picking the wrong match

Play offs for me, sometimes get really good games.
(Hopefully better than last night)
Can't say I'm particularly fussed about the remaining PL games, unless we're playing.

Blackpool’s play off record is immense no surprise they are 2-0 up

Good to see Bobby Madley back refereeing.

Take the worst Ref and put him in a position to ruin even more games.

Donkey lashers are heading to Wembley 3-0 up after the 1st leg surely they're not going to throw that advantage away.

Other than being 10 yards offside, triffic.

Good atmosphere.

Lack of it seems to have hit us badly at home.

Deserved that, Brighton.
Good game to watch. Trossard & White were both outstanding tonight.
Great to hear a live crowd again instead of the tinned stuff.

I believe we are the 4th/5th/6th worst team this season, other than a couple of million it doesn't matter which position we finish in and it's the same every season, once we are safe our levels drop off.

The live home crowd certainly had a big effect ---on the referee in particular!

VAR thought Bruno touched it... If he didn't then it was offside from the goalkeepers kick
Bruno says he didn't touch it

Yes and it looks like VAR have dropped the ball with that one, fortunately for Fulham they got a late equaliser.

What this incident once again demonstrates is how fallible VAR actually is. As if we didn't already know that anyway.

Was there any contact on Werner? Did they just give that one because they ballsed up the previous one?

Yes.

If Liverpool win their last two, they are likely to qualify for the Champions League

Not quite they have silverware in their trophy cabinet, and I suspect most Leicester fans would rather have a trophy in their pocket than make the top 4.

I know if it was Burnley in that position I'd take a major trophy over 4th place every day of the week.

I'm sure they'd prefer both.

haven’t seen it if mentioned but why is 4th position not in Leicesters hands if they lose? Doesn’t it go down to goal difference?

I'm sure they would, and they might yet get both, but for me footy is about winning things not coming 4th.
