We should have a sweepstake on the next City player to get banned from driving (following Tevez as well as Nasri)...

Tevez doesn't seem bothered by not having a licence. He was banned initially for driving on an Argentine licence. Can only use a non EU licence for 6 months. How long has he been in this country? That will give an idea of how long he's been driving without a licence

Port Vale 7...Burton Albion 1

Port Vale have consolidated their second place position, but this result is a set-back for Burton Albion who knew that a win for them would have lifted them into third place, but they now find themselves in fifth place with a very much reduced goal difference.

big weekend of fixtures in both the PL and Championship relagation battles.

Should be a cracking weekend.

Although I'd rather we weren't taking part :lol:. May as well not bother today and put the score as 0-0

Just looking at the fixture list and there are more games tomorrow than today <(. I've long gotten used to having a few games on Sunday but really half?

I'm rather happy to eat my words and wash them down with three points. Come on Swansea, get a winner

Just read Matt Le Tissier has come out of retirement to play for his home team, Guernsey FC. Apparently he has been registered for them all season, and may now play as they have to play 17 games in 1 month due to the number of postponements!

Also Southampton have all but confirmed their premiership status for next season today, winning 2-0 away at Reading.

Oldham lost this Afternoon to Carlisle 1-2 which mean Carlisle are safe from going down, Latics was crap in first half we didn't show up and Carlisle dessert they two goal lead, in second half we what must better but we did miss two great chances to make it 2-2 but at least Baxter score a penalty for us.

Oldham next two games are Preston on Tuesday night and then big north west derby against Bury, if we can pick up four points from them two games then that will be good for us :D

League One table (16th to 24th)

16th Preston - 51 points
17th Carlisle - 51 points
18th Shrewsbury - 48 points
19th Colchester - 47 points
20th Oldham - 41 points
--------------------------------------
21th Scunthorpe - 41 points
22th Portsmouth - 39 points
23th Hartlepool - 36 points
24th Bury - 34 points

I say Preston and Carlisle will be playing League One football next season as it don't look like they will go down

Hartlepool and Bury will be relegated next Saturday if they lost and Scunthorpe or Oldham both win.

Also Gillingham will be playing League One football next season after they beat Torquay 1-0 this afternoon and think they are first team in England to be promotion this season.

As a Scunthorpe supporter, I'm very worried about the prospect of relegation now. Not only do Oldham have 2 games in haan over us, they have an easier (on paper at least) end to the season.

Well hang the flags out; Villa beat Stoke!:o

I really was glad I was sat down when that happened. Wouldn't mind QPR beating Wigan now, though I'd prefer a 0-0.

As long as Wigan don't win I'm happy. Ideally a 0-0 or QPR really do a number on Wigan's goal difference.

Similarly for Chelsea to hammer Sunderland at Stamford Bridge tomorrow

This is a problem where games are spread over two days. Wigan Athletic now know that Aston Villa have already gaiined their three points from the game that was played on Saturday, so they will have all the more incentive to perform to the utmost of their ability in their match

This also works both ways, as QPR know that Reading lost and can improve their chances of at least avoiding 20th, if nothing else.

Almost but not quite there... Celtic 3-0 Hiberian
15 points clear with 5 games left, and +35 better goal difference. Came within 3 minutes of winning the Title yesterday, until Motherwell equalised against St Mirren, got to wait at least 2 weeks due to Cup action next weekend
Plymouth defeat Cheltenham 2-0, while Torquay's 'freefall' continues towards the Conference sadly, while Exeter lose for the 3rd successive game to dent their promotion hopes. Tense times in Devon indeed.

Not forgetting our more local team Truro City were relegated last weekend as well!

Well, at least they are still in existence, which was something in doubt in recent times.

Indeed, although getting rid of Kevin Heaney was best thing that could of happened to the club. He allegedly borrowed millions secured against the club which was used to climb to the conference despite being unsustainable against their income.

Just seen on Twitter the following:

"If Southend win today, Phil Brown will have won more trophies than Alex Ferguson and Wenger combined over the last 18 months."

not bad for someone whos been out of work for 17 of those 18 months!

That has got to be the biggest "IF" this thread has seen for a while :lol:

Two tries, two 2-0 losses. If I was more into betting, and had the funds to do it, I would have bet on a repeat performance - i.e. 2-0 to Crewe.

What 2-0 losses are you referring to? Southend in the JPT final, or Phil Brown at Southend, as I believe Southend have drawn both games with him in charge 1-1.

The JPT Final, in 2003/04 and 2004/05. The first was to Blackpool; the second was to Wrexham.

The second was far more notable as it was 0-0 at full-time, and in truth Wrexham were a two-man team. One was their goalscorer, Juan Ugarte (whatever happened to him?); the other was a chap in goal by the name of Ben Foster, who was on loan from Watford.

If not for this game, Foster would never have joined Man U, as Sir Alex was in the stands cheering for son Darren (then player-manager of Wrexham).
