`LOL at watford as it stands!

[crossie]

My mate is a Coventry fan and is really nervous. But they'll only go down is Soton win by a lot of goals!

EDIT: Silly me. They'll actually only stay up if southampton and Leicester don't win.

[crossie]

Aren't Watford still in the play-offs, as it stands, because Wolves are only drawing

Blunts and 'Orns level on 69 points; the former have the superior GD

[willz_royal]

sheff utd are winning, and that puts them in on goal difference i think

Southampton have equalised. Watford are back in the play-offs.

[willz_royal]

All rise for Chi, the undisputed god of informative posts

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Can't top 'em for sheer uselessness, either.

I'm plagiarizing my own work from this thread, by the way.

[crossie]

Oh dear. Sheff Wed winning 2-1 against Norwich and Coventry losing 3-1 against Charlton means that Coventry drop a place closer to relegation.

[crossie]

West Brom 1-0 up at QPR. I think they'll be crowned champions.

[crossie]

Even worse for Coventry now. Southampton take the lead against Sheff Utd, which means, as it stands, Leicester are 18th, with Coventry one point above them.

Oh dear. Sheff Wed winning 2-1 against Norwich and Coventry losing 3-1 against Charlton means that Coventry drop a place closer to relegation.

Won't matter in the least unless 'Aints and Leicester both win.

Oxf*rd Stern John another last-day goal of major import.

Yep. Southapmton 2-1 Sheff Utd. Which means they're also doing a favour for Watford. If Leicester score, Coventry will have a mountain to climb.

EDIT: Leicester have just had a header hit the post and the rebound cleared off the line.

[crossie]

Watford have equalised against Blackpool, even though they've just had Darius Henderson sent off. Crystal Palace are 5-0 up at Burnley. They're definitely in the play-offs. And Sheff Utd have equalised againt Southampton, which means Southampton are back in the relegation zone.

[crossie]

Southampton take the lead again. 3-2 now. Ipswich have scored against Hull, closing the gap on Watford.

[crossie]

Sheff Wed 3-1 Norwich. Wednesday look safe.

Great shot from Hume, foiled by the Stoke keeper. It's getting so close. 10 minutes to go. West Brom are 2-0 up and look certain to win the league.

Southampton down to 10-men.
