DE.

Well, realistically we are nowhere near good enough to go up, so oh well. At least we had 6th for about 5 minutes. Now let's ramp the pressure up on the root cause of the club's problems over the summer.

Boro could still equalise.

Ayo, Preston fulfilling my prediction.

Bristol city are just as shit lately tbf, doubt it'd make much of a difference.

Yet if Hull concede in the next 15 mins or so they'll still stay up!

Burnley winning.

Well, would rather we fucked it up for ourselves than Preston or Burnley, I suppose.

Portsmouth equaliser gives Luton hope.

Oh God, Preston are going to fuck this up for us, aren't they?

In this crazy league you can't assume anything, even if things look to be going your way, so don't think it'll make much difference. If they fail to win it'll just be because they're generally shit.

Suddenly we're relying on Preston 😒

Cardiff going down in style. Losing 3-0 and down to ten men.

Amazing that Rooney has effectively tanked two clubs in a row so brutally that both ended up going down despite revivals in form after his removal.

Eustace's great escape looking good as things stand. Even if Derby lose they won't go down if Luton can't mount a response.

3-1 now, looking like it's Hull's to throw away

Or not, WBA now 2-1 ahead

Derby and Luton goals would now put Stoke in the drop zone...

Hull 1-0 up, real danger for Preston now.

Great article! Liked the pointed comment to the board at the end as well 👍

To be honest Bilbao looked alright until they went down to 10, at which point they just seemed to fall apart. If they'd kept it to 1-0 I think they would have had a chance in the second leg, but 3-0 seems like it'll be really difficult to come back from. I appreciate the league is a lost cause for Spurs and Ange probably sees winning the Europa League as his only chance of salvation at this point, but still, the majority of Spurs fans are going to be attending their league matches rather than European matches. It's a risky gamble.

They're still performing poorly in the PL, though, so neither of those things have changed. Spurs have lost 5 of their last 6 matches (3 on the spin as of now). United haven't won in 5 league matches and still look as dire as ever outside of Europe. They should both be in the position they're in because they've been poor over the season and continue to be so. I think they'll both improve next season, but it's amazing that this season they are both likely to end up in the Europa League final. it's a huge missed opportunity for the other European clubs imo.

Embarrassing for the rest of Europe that the PL's 14th and 16th placed teams appear to be cruising into the Europa League final. In United's case beating the 4th placed French and Spanish teams along the way. Spurs beat the team who are 3rd in the Bundesliga. Are the other European leagues really that poor these days outside of the top 2/3 teams?

Sometimes context does change the nature of quotes. Sometimes it doesn't. We would need to know the full details to make a judgement. WATR is one of the most risk-averse and historically club-friendly supporters' groups we have, though, so seems odd that they would try to smear a club employee with an out-of-context quote.

Dolan is our second top goalscorer and assister, I think. Imagine he's there or thereabouts most seasons, as his stats are quite consistent. Certainly different to if we were losing someone like Hedges with 1 goal and 2 assists.

When you look at Preston's overall form, and Bristol City's home form, then it does seem unlikely that Preston will get anything. Stranger things have happened though. The main positive from tonight's result is that a draw in their game would now be enough for us to leapfrog them, in the event we beat Sheff Utd (we'll probably draw or lose, but still, hope burns eternal). Bristol City last dropped points at home to Hull on 8th March. Preston last picked up a point on the road at Sunderland on 11th March. Both 1-1 draws.
