The Football.....

You didn't quite see the full half then

Another city goal at 45+1, so 3-0 at half time.

Not in the match I am watching 3rd goal was at 54 mins

Not in the match I am watching

Oops, no I missed the fact that the second De Bruyne goal was after half time.

But it is 3-0 currently, at 73 minutes. Arsenal are not coming back from that.

And 'Frank' will soon be free as well.

Mercifully!

Cannot wait for this bummer of a season to end.

Match was almost at walking pace tonight - our ludicrously wealthy lads were clearly thinking ahead to some time in the sun with their latest squeeze and/or their next 'tat' or stupid hairdo.

Pathetic.

West Brom lost their game in hand, so now 5th - 12th in the Championship are covered by 4 points, all with 2 games left.

I saw what looked like Graham Potter, as I parked my car yesterday evening. 🤔

Was it him on his phone, asking to be considered for the Accy Stanley job, if it becomes available at the end of the season I wonder. 🤔

I'm seeing stories saying Blackburn are relegated to league one where they will play Rovers but from the tables I can see, they can technically win the last game by a shedload and still be in it if Huddersfield lose. Am I missing something?

Apart from giving @PaulSB a heart attack, you mean Blackpool.
Huddersfield play Reading in one of their games so whatever the result in that match puts one of them beyond Blackpool.

Love the amount of games today where fate is dependent on mathematical certainty. In the National League York can be relegated if two other teams win, they lose and there is a combined goal swing of 15. Think they should be safe even when being away to high scoring Notts County.

Only a fiver today, to get as much Accy support as possible! Cambridge have brought 600 fans, according to the radio. I was going to go, but my mobility problems means I'd find it difficult in a big crowd, with all the seats most likely being taken. If we don't win today that's most likely it and we'll be in 'the 4th division'next season. Anyway, if we do go down then every cloud has a silver lining, as we won't be getting as many, if any big games against clubs like Sheffield Wednesday,Bolton etc who take the ground over which makes our home games seem like away games.

Best wishes to Accy Stanley today!!

1-0 down at half time. It's not looking good!

Just wasn't meant to be mate.

That's our first relegation since 1998, when we dropped down the lower leagues and it's the first one I've seen them suffer in 20 years of supporting Accy. My fear is that we will lose a fair part of our young fan base, built up mainly in the 5 years since making it to League 1. Accy have given away thousands of free shirts, tickets etc to schools to attract the fans of the future. I fear now that Burnley will try and temp those new fans to Premiership football. Burnley did the same to Colne Dynamos in the late 1980's when they were seen as an upcoming threat to Burnley's finances. Not forgetting that the then Burnley chairman voted for Accy to lose their league status in 1962, which took a long 44 years to regain!!

Certainly tough times ahead Accy, but hopefully your fears turn out to be unfounded.

When the going gets tough, and all that.

Good luck. 🇬🇧
