reading_fan Yeah should be a cracker. Soccer Saturday will be all over it!

Hull will be up tonight if Watford don't win at Leicester in the tv game tonight. Hull currently 4 clear with 2 to play.


A draw can still see Watford grab 2nd spot if Hull lose their remaining 2 games (Watford have the much better GD)

What's disappointing is that I want Hull to balls it up yet I really don't want Watford to get promoted. Lesser of 2 evils really I guess.

and in terms of play offs I guess I would be cheering on BHA to go up as it's nice to see a new set of fans experience it (even though their fans are pcunts and consider their club only slightly behind Barcelona in terms of massivness)

I'd rather Watford than Hull.........just to see how they would cope without all their loanees in the Premiership

Surely if they got to the Prem they'd be able to keep/buy all their loanees?

Not sure - i think the Premier League rules are different to Football League rules regarding the loanees (they have something stupid like 15 players on loan this season)

Can't believe the Donny Brentford game ain't on TV.

Still, at least we have City V West Ham to watch :!:

Ah, but they're overseas loans, so are actually temporary permanent signings.

Which is, of course, an absurd notion but thems the FL rules.

Do you know if the PL rules are the same?

All the final games have to kick off at the same time and that is 3pm on Saturday - Sky can't show live games at that time

They could have moved them all to 12.45 like they do with the Championship, or put them on a Sunday. I imagine 99% of football fans would rather watch them than us against QPR.

2 absolutely top class saves from Schmeichel.

Watford go 2-0 up. 2nd is worth a watch, unbelievable hit!

Have Watford got any players they actually own?..will be interesting if they go up because the loan reulations will change considerably

With 2nd from bottom in the champ on 51pts we could see a record points toal for a relegated side. I had a quick look through statto.com and i think the 3 highest totals for a relegated team are:

Southend 54 (Old 3rd Div in 1989)
Reading 53 (Old 3rd Div in 1983)
Leicester 52 (Champ 2008)

Tomorrow is all about P'Boro winning at home to Wednesday, and Wolves losing at home to Burnley. Wolves could be 3 behind with one to play!

Brentford Vs Doncaster with the winner being promoted and a draw being good enough for the away side. Sounds eerily familiar.
