4-1 win. Stoke pulled it back to 3-1, but Galloway added a 4th a few mins later. Forest won 3-0, Burnley won 2-0, so as you were in that respect, but one less fixture to go.

Live scores are on Bet365, so saves going on various twitter accounts, but still 3-0. Forest and Burnley have both scored at pretty much the same time and lead 1-0 after 74 mins, but obviously if we keep winning then it won't matter what those do.

Good stuff. On paper, this was probably the 2nd hardest of the remaining 7 games, and seems like it will be passed with flying colours. I'll definitely be tuning into Newcastle Fans TV for the vlog when it drops, which is usually around 11pm.

I don't think Stoke have a stream, and it will feel quite weird not being able to match the match if not. Looking at past fixtures, I'll have seen 10 of the last 11 games stretching back to November, Fylde away in the cup being the exception. 8 of those 11 have been at home, and there were streams for both Man Utd and Burnley away.

Yeah, I saw that on Oddschecker as well, but then all the other teams being the exact same odds obviously nullify it. Would have been nice if they had a chance to drop again, but yeah, midtable mediocrity is fine as they had been in and around 6th for large parts of the season, and you never know with the playoffs (if they did make them).

I think that's their season officially over though. Obviously wasn't looking good losing 3 on the trot (before today) and not having a permanent manager, but had they beaten Norwich they would have closed the gap on them and been like 6 points off the playoffs, but they've lost a 6 pointer and are now 9 points behind 6th. You usually need around 70 points for 6th place, so that would mean 7 wins and 2 draws from their final 11 matches, and that's not happening. It'll be an 8th season outside of the top flight next year, and I think that's their longest period of being outside it.

Na, I wouldn't read anything into that. Betfair I assume? Southampton, Norwich, Hull, WBA etc. are all 14/5 as well. These are SkyBets latest odds and you can't even get odds on Sunderland, and Middlesbrough who are 3 points below them are 150/1.

Barnes has been wank tonight. Slow and ponderous, and then that.

Absolutely fucking shite.

Fucking Longstaff, that was the easier of the two.

Chronic

Kinda just want the season to end to be honest. By far our biggest match left of the season, but it still doesn't feel like there's much jeopardy, as if we do get through I just can't see us beating any of the good sides remaining.

It's just so slow.

The worst part of this is a potential 30 more minutes to endure.

Where's the final held?

That would be pretty disappointing. Obviously great generally for a women's match, but they were getting 24-28k when a league lower, not professional, and not as integrated within the wider clubs social media and marketing campaigns. I'll be going with 3 others, and my first time watching them live, so I can't remember, but were the tickets cheaper than £5 for the previous matches? It's also about 10 months since the last competitive match there, so it's not like they were trying to squeeze matches in and it becomes less of a novelty.

MUCH prefer no away goals rule if watching a tie as a neutral and don't mind who wins. If a stronger team wins 1-0 at home, then scores early over there, the contest will feel over just as the second match begins, and I also like the prospect of pens, whereas it's much harder to get 2 identical results to force ET if the rule was still present. Best change they've done IMO.

Without wanting to come across all Mackematics, does anyone have any idea of how many tickets have currently been sold?

Some good results in the Championship. Both WBA and Hull winning away, the latter against Southampton, so Sunderland are now 7 points off the playoffs. Not massively likely they would have got into the playoffs with them seemingly not looking to appoint a permanent manager until the summer, but I'd still rather they be 3 games away from thee playoffs than within 3 points and one match. Ipswich got a 95th minute winner to go level on points with Leeds. Poor night for the Saints.

What's the username of said poster?

They've just amended it now.

I see that Full Time FA site have got us down as a 1-2 defeat today . I was thinking the gap at the top looked short with Forest having a game in hand.
