Are teams getting more points these days? I am not just talking about the Championship. I am sure 90 points used to feel like a pretty special achievement 20-30 years back, but seems to almost happen as standard nowadays (I may also just be misremembering, which I do a lot of) League 1 this year co...

So Dortmund and PSG will play for the right to lose to whoever wins the Citeh-Real tie tonight in the final.

A disaster for any match going fans who face the inconvenience of early kick-off times in order to accommodate live TV and also for the club who will be worse off. I've heard RoyalsTV is a nice revenue generator for them, particularly on a midweek when a number of STH's won't attend home matches bu...

Burton will stay up on GD without picking up another point. Cheltenham will draw one and lose 2 Vale will lose at Bolton by 2 or 3 goals before winning against Cambridge Fleetwood will draw at Orient and beat Burton Final table 20 - Burton 43pts (-30 GD) 21- Port Vale 43pts (-32) 22 - Cheltenham 42...

Championship promotion race really hotting up Soton beat PNE 3-0 last night and now sit just 5 points behind Ipswich with a game in hand. That game in hand - Leicester (a) next Tuesday. Soton also finish the season at Leeds. Seems guaranteed that the top 4 sides will all finish with over 90 points, ...

Mansfield confirm their place in L1 and will play in the 3rd tier for the first time since 2002/03.

At the other end, Forest Green suffer back to back relegations and drop out of the EFL after 7 seasons.

Colchester's home win over Grimsby all but condemns Dean Bouzanis' Sutton to relegation too.

After tonight's results, I think it's 0 (1) now. :lol: If we want to keep it going in case of the extra 2 points then the deduction total is 2. We would be on 48 - Burton can get to 49 - so any result there on Saturday removes any modicum of concern that that deduction could impact us. Only thing t...

If the team are not on the beach this should be a comfortable 2-0 win. We will score, so just need to defend well and we should win - if we get ahead early and news filters through of Cheltenham winning, they will panic and we should be able to pick them off.

Chesterfield, having got to 90 points after 35 games, have now picked up just 5 points in their last 10 games. Clearly massively taken the foot off the gas once it became clear they were up. Went from losing just 3 games in those first 35 to 10 now. Question is, how fair is that on other sides with...

Hmm something stirring? SCL have just posted a video of Bearwood which seems a bit random and that Huang Kad chap is making some noise again Huang Kad has basically revealed exactly what was posted on here earlier - that was from a new account to here so could be the same person. Nope, can confirm ...

LUX Looking forward to this evening’s games.

Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ?
Does it affect our magic number ?

I'm pretty certain that Burton have Cheltenham but no idea who Cheltenham have.

To add fuel to the Redwood Capital fire, it does look like that company are looking to put together an investment in the UK. Speculation as they may just be looking to invest in the UK generally but interesting reading… Companies House has an entity called “Red Uk Purchaser Limited” being incorpora...

Chelsea 4-0 up and their players still make a fool of themselves. Idiotic scenes with that penalty. Absolutely - didn't see any of them wanting to take the 100th min penalty to equalise v Utd did you? Who cares if Palmer had his hattrick already - it is his job, so unless he decides to let you have...

In the 2. Bundesliga, twin town club Fortuna Düsseldorf are making a late impressive surge towards the promotion picture having taken 21 points from the last 9 (W6,D3). This coinciding with Hamburg's now traditional late season collapse has pushed them into 3rd place and the promotion play-off spot ...
