Playing tomorrow. Keeping my eye on a couple of games. Supporting Tolaj for the first time since he left us.

We let in an injury time equaliser as well cos, you know, we don't win away games.

He can score as many as he likes today as long as he doesn't score on Tuesday 😉

I saw Barnsley had a player sent off. Bolton did too!

Stupid away games.
Stupid extra time.

Who are you hoping for in the play offs @Scoobydoobydoo19 ? Since my dreams of a Bradford vs Huddersfield playoff final are officially over.

This afternoon could cause issues in my family- my Dad is a lifelong spurs fan so I will be avoiding him for a few days if we win!

I don't honestly know. I think it's a very level playing field. We have beaten Stockport twice but I don't want to make any bold claims.

Palace win against hammers on Monday would be good and nice. And europa win against Shakstar (?!) in I think 2 weeks. We can beat them we’re at Selhurst Park.
can spurs beat Brighton today? I think spurs are going dahn! 5.30 kick off.

Couldn’t post from Gayfield as reception didn’t want to load. No smokie pies today as the fish shop is closed as they’re on holiday. Steak and black pudding today, used to be my go to before the smokie pies came in. I’m not normally a black pudding fan but the gravy soaks into it and it’s so nice then.

And the best news from today is that we won 2-1 and that’s us secured a place in the Premiership play-offs. 😍

Hopefully pics are working now for me

Can’t believe Stockport Exeter went from 0-2 to 3 all

Congrats ,I'm hoping Aberdeen don't meet your team in the play offs.
Hope Aberdeen escape the play offs altogether.

@Tarkan That's great news about the play-offs! Hopefully smokie pies will be back on the menu for the final home game, when you'll all be in celebration mood.

I noticed that there was no VAR intervention and therefore no red card shown for hair pulling in the Brentford v Fulham match today 🤷🏻‍♀️

Was only half watching as I was cooking-what happened?

also good result for you yesterday!

Fish shop on holiday? Could they not have waited until the end of the season? I can understand not going away in July or August and paying three or more times as much, but mid-April?

I hope we've had Paul McKenna in to convince Eze that he's playing Sp*rs today...

Poetic ending to the Merseyside derby from a Liverpool perspective, with a very late winner by Virgil Van Dijk past Pickford and Tarkowski, after Tarkowski's last gasp equaliser in the same fixture last season. Loved Salah also scoring in his last Merseyside derby. After all the taunting by Evertonians after last year's match, I very much enjoyed this one!

I thought Freddie Woodman did well @burblish A good weekend in the Woodman house with his Dad leading Bromley to League 1 promotion yesterday too

@TheSleepingGiant It was indeed a great weekend for the Woodmans! I think this is the first time Bromley have made it to League One, isn't it? I also seem to remember that Andy Woodman was a GK in his playing days, so Freddie is following in his dad's footsteps. (Sadly, par for the course for our season that Mamardashvili got injured today, so that both our first and second choice keepers are out. Sigh.)

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain 🤞🏻 for Conference League Final! I was in Florence for the quarter final second leg it was amazing!

A frustrating afternoon. We played some good, attacking football but goodness did we give some chances away.

Gabriel should be off there. The ref has bottled that. Any other game and that’s a straight red. Fabian Schar got sent off for way less in a similar situation. Credit to Haaland for not going down and making a meal out of it but if he had Gabriel probably would have rightly walked.

Agreed @JasonTindallsTan - Gabriel is so lucky that Haaland stood his ground rather than making a meal of it as a lot of players would have.

Well, well, well - looks like we have a title race again! Very juicy for the neutrals!

@Comefromaway I'm sorry it has been such a frustrating season for you, cup run notwithstanding. For what it's worth, I reckon you will be straight back up next year if you do get relegated.
