I can still see Leeds finishing top 2. Stuck a few quid on them at 3/1. Ipswich's next 2 matches look tough on paper (although Coventry's season will probably be over by the time they play) and they need more than 1 point from them to have it in their hands going into the final day, but I'm not sure they will get them.

5 points will do for Ipswich, but their next 2 matches are pretty tough. Away to playoff chasing teams (Hull then Coventry), although Coventry's season will probably be done before they play, which might help.

Hebburn lost 1-0, so it comes down to the final day. Hebburn away to 11th placed Sheffield FC, Stockton away to 7th placed Belper. Belper lost 3-0 tonight (and now can't make the playoffs) and they play again on Thursday, so that might impact them come Saturday. Dunston and Pontefract both won tonight (Dunston won away at Carlton), so they will play each other in the playoffs, but the venue TBC - not sure if Dunston are back at their own ground yet? One of Stockton or Hebburn will be at home to Carlton, and the other promoted.

4-0 now, but Leicester have just gone 2-0 up at a similar time, so both main televised games are likely over as a contest.

I don't mind watching matches that aren't that competitive when the team I was to win are comfortable, so may keep this on, and hope Arsenal get a couple more just to rubber stamp our GD advantage over Chelsea. It was 8 before this this match, and currently 11, so that should be 'worth a point' at the end of the season. Leicester currently 1-0 on Southampton, so I might switch over to that.

2-0 Arsenal. Good stuff.

Hebburn currently a goal down after 60 mins, could be a lifeline for Stockton. Hebburn might need to get a result at the oldest club in the world (Sheffield FC) on the final day, although hopefully they turn it around here.

I assume 1 leg with the higher ranked side at home, incl the final?

19 years man. I remember reading the Sunday Sun back in the day and seeing them in bold in what was then known as the Unibond League.

Bishops 3 up at half time so their promotion should be confirmed at full time, baring some extraordinary circumstances.

Offside FFS.

Cracking match Gromit. 2-2 after only 30 mins. Latte Lath with yet another goal. Decent finish.

1-1 now. Pen.

I don't think so. Think they did splash a bit in January to try and get over the line, but their budget won't be up there with the big hitters.

Leeds potentially not getting promoted could affect Boro next season. You'd expect all of Leicester, Leeds, and Southzmpton to be right up there next season if they were to miss out this year (even if LC have a points deduction), whereas Ipswich could finish 16th or 17th next season and not many would bat an eyelid, so probably mote beneficial for those hoping to get promoted next season to get Leeds out of the way here.

Boro 1 up.

Hopefully Boro can get something tonight. I know they're season is effectively done but I'm quite surprised they are nearly 4/1 to win. They are unbeaten in 9, at home, and Leeds haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders recently.

Palace won and effectively seal promotion - if they miss out there will be investigations . That also means Durham are safe. So the Championship should be pretty much set for next season Bristol City still TBC, but almost certain to drop from the WSL, like 99% Charlton Sunderland Southampton Birmingham Blackburn Sheff Utd London City Reading Durham Newcastle Portsmouth

Aye, Sunderland 0-1, Palace 2-0 up vs Lewes, so if Lewes lose then Durham will stay up, so there will be 4 derbies of the 22 games next season as it stands.

A shame for Gateshead, but surely seems a bit harsh on Altrincham if Solihull have a bye for finishing 5th, yet they have a QF to play for finishing 4th?

It'll be a bit better for Morpeth next season with Blyth, almost certainly Hebburn, and possibly Stockton or Dunston entering the league next season. Marske left the league half way through, and after that it's just Whitby at a push that you could consider local. In contrast there were 6 local sides in the league below this season, and that will hopefully remain the same next year with Bishop Auckland and the NL playoff winner replacing the one or two local sides that get promoted. The more NL sides in the NPL the better in terms of crowds, less travelling (for our sides), and the feeling of a more progressive and boisterous local scene.

Kevin Keegan still looks good for 73.

Chelsea definitely giving as good as they are getting here. Certainly don't feel like 4/1 outsiders.

It's been a great start to the game, end to end, and a nice flow. This feels like the first stoppage.

7 seasons in a row, marrra.
