it was 6 in the end

Not nice when it happens to your team, but we all have off days. Norwich are a good side who have more than held their own this season. Focus on your result against Tottenham!

Cheers D- I can't really be disappointed after such a great season. I guess the difference in class was bound to tell, especially towards the end of the game, but at least we are safe and can plan for next season.

Well my team (Stockport) conceded an injury time equalizer but we are still celebrating
A 3rd successive relegation avoided with 2 games still to go (phew)

Marvelous fighback from Pompey to delay relegation for another game......
and I backed the winner of the Grand National at 40/1 !!!

Chris Waddle must be the least interesting, trite, cliché-laden expert summariser in a field not blessed by wit and insight.

Love it as an England player though

His favourite phrase when a player has a 1/2 chance or a free kick from 25 yards is "He's gotta work the keeper from there"

This from a bloke who (in)famously failed to work the German keeper from 12 yards.

It's not so much about class at this end of the season, but the strength of the squads. Teams like Man City can rest players to keep them fresh to the end whereas the likes of Norwich need to be constantly at full strength just to survive.

And 6-0 to West Ham, we might make the automatic promotion places yet!

THIS is very sad.

Ex-Italy under-21 footballer Piermario Morosini has died following a suspected heart attack on the pitch, football officials say.

 

[Aperitif]

Good luck, Chelsea.

I never thought I'd say this, but C'MON CHELSKI!

Absorbing game and a well taken goal.

It's only half-time though! The way Barcelona were still playing possession football for the last 15 minutes and showing very little urgency to get into the penalty box would tend to show that they are confident that they can turn things round in the 2nd leg. I think the OTT press reaction has set Chelsea up for a fall next week!
