  • 56โ€™ Hinshelwood

  • 90+1โ€™ Welbeck

FIVE IN A ROW!

Chelsea have LOST in 5 straight matches in the PL for the first time since 1912, 114 years. That was enough to sack another manager, Liam Rosenior.
Calum McFarlane takes over on an interim basis, he is moving up from the head coach position of Chelseaโ€™s U21 team.

GREAT WIN for BHA! Scored early, scored middle, scored late and dominated the stat sheet. Putโ€™s the Seagulls into 6th place - Europe a distinct possibility for next season.

City to the Top of the Table, Burnley officially relegated.

Haaland with the goal at 5โ€™.

The only downside for City, the improved their goal difference by just 1 and that leaves them tied on both points and GD with Arsenal. Will they regret not scoring more at Burnley? Burnley hung around much longer than expected but it was the same old same old for the Clarets, played well in spurts but just not good enough around the net.

๐ŸŽฅSTUNNING!

.

Better result for Leeds than Bournemouth.

The Cherries are going to be frustrated with just the point. A scoreless 1H turned into a back-and-forth affair that saw Bournemouth with a 2-1 lead into extra time, but it was Sean Longstaff scoring a volley at 90+7โ€™ for Leeds to steal a point.

The 2 points lost in the closing minutes could cost Bournemouth in the race for Europe, for Leeds, the point is just another โ€œinsurance runโ€ as they are all but assured to stay up for next season.

Current Situation ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ“‰

  • Why is City ahead of Arsenal in the Standings? Here are the tie breakersโ€ฆ..

    1. Most points - BOTH have 70

    2. Goal Differential - BOTH have +37

    3. Goals Scored - CITY have more 66 to 63

    4. Head to Head - City have 4 points, Arsenal 1.

    5. Playoff - Will not be needed since at a minimum city have head-to-head.

  • Wolves and Burnley are officially both relegated to The Championship next season.

Moving Up - Moving Down

Hereโ€™s the latest on Promotion/Relegation -

30,000โ€™ View

  • Coventry City are promoted to the PL next season. 7 other teams are fighting for the remaining 2 spots, including Wrexham.

  • Leicester City, one of the clubs relegated from the PL last season was just RELEGATED AGAIN down to League One (level 3) just 10 years removed from their PL title.

  • Burnley and Wolves are heading down to The Championship (level 2) next season.

  • With 5 matches to play one of these teams is getting relegated to the Championship - Spurs, West Ham or Forest.

BUT, Itโ€™s THE NATIONAL LEAGUE (level 5) that most interesting.

  • There is a BIG gap between level 4 and level 5 of English Soccer.

  • The English Football League is officially Levels 1-4.

  • Level 5+ is considered amateur.

  • Just 2 teams get promoted to League Two (level 4).

  • The league winner is automatic.

  • The second - fifth place teams need to win a playoff

Why are you talking about the top amateur league in English Soccer?

With 1 match remaining York City lead the league with 107 points, yet they will not win the league if they lose this weekend when they travel to second place Rochdale who sit on 105 points.

Since 2003, the team that finishes second has only won the playoff to promotion 6 times.

Whoever advances this weekend is promoted, whoever finishes second has a 6 in 23 shot based on numbers to get promoted.

Wolves and Burnley both heading down to The Championship.

Wolves are about to do something that has never been done in major European Soccer of top flight leagues.

They will start the league on day 1 and end the league in LAST PLACE.

Wolves started at the bottom based on alphabetical order, lost on day 1 by the most goals and stayed at the bottom ALL SESAON.

Back Down.

Burnley were promoted to the PL 3 years ago, relegated to the Championship 2 years ago, promoted back to the PL last year and are now head back to The Championship next year.

Of the three teams promoted last season, Burnley will be the only one to go back down.
