How's your footy team doing?

Thanks Pliers - much appreciated.  Many of us 'oldies' remember Frank Casper, fbeing sold from our super side of the '60s , to Burnley. Our current problem in the play-offs could be we don't convert the numerous 'chances' that we often create. We have been winning games 1 - 0 when it should have been 3 or 4 many times. One on one with the goalkeeper is a major concern, but heigh -ho as Alan Shearer often says, "create chances & some are bound to go in". Further good news from NYS this week is we have just won the best ground in League 1 award.  After tonight's results it looks like 'Scunny' in the play-offs. UTM

Wow, what a game it must have been in Rome tonight!

Well done Liverpool, good luck in the final in Kiev.

Go, Dippers, you can do it ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

sadly I'm a Sunderland fan going down to the third tier for only the second time in the club's history. On the bright side our absentee American owner has done the decent thing by paying off our debt and "selling" (actually giving it away) to a pretty promising new consortium. Now we wait to see who our new manager will be (I vote Mccarthy) and how much money he'll be given to rebuild the squad. Fingers crossed!

I was hoping that Arsenal would get through last night, that would have given them  a chance to rest the first team against us and save themselves for the final three days later. Sadly it's not to be and they'll really be up for it in what will be Arsene Wengers last match.

Sad news for any Baggies fans. They nearly pulled off one of the greatest of all great escapes and in the same year as their talisman went to the great football pitch in the sky. #respect #cyrilregis

Well what do I know? When Southampton beat Swansea last night I thought we would have to get the point we needed to be safe against Arsenal in the last match or rely on relegated Stoke beating Swansea.

But we've done on our own. Unbelievable,the only team to keep a clean sheet at the Etihad this season and getting a draw at the Bridge, leading on 50 minutes, pegged back on 62 and those added 6 were the longest.

Well done Town 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Also congratulations to City and to Brighton

UTT Rog😂😂😂

Not many people gave Huddersfield a chance a few weeks back, particularly looking at their remaining fixtures, so Yes! Huge Congratulations to them.

Cheerio Swansea (Surely the Saints won't concede 10 vs City???) but who will join Wolves & Cardiff next year in the Premiership?

Well done Town, but wheww, don't they put you through it, who'd be a footy fan 😱

Been a brilliant season for City, last game away at Southampton on Sunday. We have tickets and are taking the 'van down to Hunters Moon for a week. I'm very good at justifying  a weeks holiday out of an away game!

Any CT people off to watch the World Cup?
