For a minute Barnsley looked like they were making a game of it. Then Bolton scored and took control. Pretty much game over.

Bizarre isn't it? It's like Hull's owners are playing FM - just because he didn't reach a target (promotion?) he's deemed to have 'failed' despite getting them on to a positive trajectory. Along with a couple of other teams already, I'd have had them up for top 6 next season. They play some decent and attractive football and have no problem scoring goals.

Seems harsh on the face of it. Took them to the brink of play-offs. They were 21st when he took over in Nov 2022 so that's quite an improvement in 18 months... https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11714/13131088/hull-city-sack-manager-liam-rosenior-after-tigers-miss-out-on-championship-play-offs

Appeal rejected by the PL.

No change in positions in the bottom 4 but Forest picked up 3 priceless points to create a bit of a gap between themselves and the drop zone. It could even be goal difference that saves them given the difference of 12 between them and Luton, and 18 to Burnley. Luton missed the chance to beat an already-safe Everton, whilst Burnley lost out to a strong Newcastle. Burnley now need to win both their games (one of which is against Forest) and hope that Forest lose vs Chelsea to take it to the final day.

It's heading down to the final day it seems in the race for the title. Arsenal and Man City march on with ease in the race for first, and Tottenham once again will have a say in proceedings in this coming gameweek. It's probably too little too late for Liverpool despite beating Spurs. Despite Villa losing and their form dropping, they look to have secured 4th place thanks to Spurs' even worse form. The race for European football for one of Newcastle, Chelsea and Man Utd heats up even further - two of the sides had very convincing wins, while Man Utd suffered an embarrassing defeat at Palace to weaken their cause. West Ham played themselves out of European football next season and they are pretty much 'on the beach'.

They also almost find it ridiculously hard to actually analyse the good parts that Palace do as opposed to the bad parts that Utd do.

Carragher et al on Sky weirdly choosing to totally ignore Evans' shortcomings for the first two Palace goals. Instead choosing to focus on Casemiro and Onana respectively. Not saying they also weren't at fault, but Evans defending there like a competition winner yet it was totally glossed over.

One of those games where Palace at really, really good and Man Utd are the complete opposite.

I was looking at this the other day for Luton & Forest, but went back a bit further to see if form does actually have a bearing on who eventually wins the play-offs... 22/23 Luton last 6 form - won 3, drew 3 21/22 Forest last 6 - won 4, drew 1, lost 1 20/21 - Brentford last 6 - won 4, drew 2 19/20 - Fulham last 6 - won 4, drew 2 18/19 Villa last 6 - won 4, drew 1, lost 1 Point being that any 4 of you are screwed basing it on form . All 4 teams are in the bottom half for the last 5 form table. Norwich 12th, Southampton 13th, West Brom 16th and Leeds 22nd. I hope it's not a sign of things to come in terms of quality of the games...

Ha, @Tommy, consider your parade well and truly pissed on

I think Leeds will overcome their 'choker/bottler' tag this time round. Southampton are the most formidable of the remaining 3, but even so I think they'll beat them in the final if they both get there, and I think they both will. Norwich are bit hit and miss, as are West Brom. They're the kinds of teams that when they're on it, they can just overcome teams with ease, but those kinds of days haven't been consistent enough and they can chuck in a stinker of a game or result. Leeds and Southampton on the other hand can be much more 'on it'.

What a fall from grace after last season's success. Too much too soon? Shame they couldn't progress after that season.

Crawley vs MK Dons first leg postponed

Superb from Lando. Delighted he could get his first win! Smashed it out the park considering the gap he created to Verstappen. McLaren were desperate for Piastri not to mess up and cause a SC
