Wouldn't mind a Lashers win today.
I'd like to see them stay up.

No final score either.

Craziness.

Although tbh I won’t miss it because I don’t listen or watch any of it anyway!

The only footy that counts is at TM

BBC/ Lineker...yawn!
Bunch of pussies

Massive government/BBC censorship screw up.
Who'd have thought it?

Madine off injured already for Blackpool.

Or sticking up for a principle…

Haven't watched Football Focus for years, nor Final Score .... The four " MOTD " commentators have also refused to work, saying " We're comforted to know the BBC management can put out the games with " World Feed " commentary " ... which frankly begs the question, why do the BBC feel the need to voiceover highlights with their own commentators anyway ?

Soccer Saturday far more entertaining, quicker, more reporters at Grounds & shows the EFL goals that evening. EPL goals/highlights are available on " You tube " after 6.15 ish in any event ...

I suggest you keep this thread to the original topic lads......today's footie, or its gone !

Bristol City putting loads of pressure on Blackpool but Blackpool currently always doing enough at the final death.

Cherries 1 Pool 0.

Bournemouth beating Liverpool. Deserved too. Their new signing Ouattara looks decent.

Blackpool missed an absolute sitter.

Long way to go yet, but if Bournemouth can win this they'll leap up to 16th, shows just how tight it really is down there.

Sums up footy Liverpool hit 7 last week, and today they might taste defeat at the bottom club.

Hell of a miss, wasn't it.

David Brooks warming up on the touchline for Bournemouth, his first involvement in a match day squad since recovering from cancer.

It'll put Leeds and Everton under big pressure too, especially with Leeds' remaining fixtures.

Edit: Everton have a nightmare run-in as well.

Many including myself had already written Bournemouth off as relegated, however if they do mount a survival charge that will really shake a few of the bigger clubs up.

Everton and Leeds do both have winnable home games today facing Brentford and Brighton respectively, however both those sides are in brilliant form and chasing a potential European berth, so they will equally be eager for the points.

That was a very very good strike. 1-0 Bristol City.

Looking grim for Blackpool.

I seem to remember us scoring 4 at Bournemouth earlier this season !!!

Scousers get a dodgy pen,the guy was facing the other way,

Oh dear Salah, that is awful

Missed it by yards.

Shocking pen by Salah.

Keane, McNeil and Tarks start for Everton again, naturally Mee lines up for Brentford, Bamford back for Leeds which might give them a boost in their relegation fight.

Perhaps to the surprise of nobody Wood is dropped to the Forest bench.

Bournemouth win that's an interesting result to say the least.

Bristol City ease to a win over Blackpool.

Bournemouth have Villa away, then 2 home games vs Fulham and Brighton. Some more points to pick up there.

Pressure on Leeds and Everton following that result

Can you imagine if Leeds and Everton drop and we go up. Just saying

Pressure on a few sides now, Palace might be the ones to watch, their form since the World Cup is dreadful, and their cushion is gradually being eaten into, plus their next 3 are, City, Brighton and Arsenal, hard to see them earning much if anything from those games.

Dwight scored for Everton in the very 1st minute.

Spurs also strike early against Forest.

Everything going well for us so far. Fingers crossed it continues.

Joey's Bristol Rovers, Wade's Cheltenham and Cotts Shrews all leading at the break.

Barnsley-Plymouth goalless in the big game, well Ipswich lead at Bolton.

Stanley 1-1 at Charlton after taking the lead.

That drum at Palace wants ramming up the drummers arse..annoying as F××k even on the tv

Good result for Boro, but you’ll not see worse defending than Swansea’s for all three goals.
