Moss and Atkinson are retiring at end of season but Riley has brought them in to help the remaining referees.. Dear God.

Jon Moss managing the lot of them!

’Greatest league in the world’ being officiated by idiots that don’t understand the game.

League One is looking exciting before its final day tomorrow. Title still up for grabs between Wigan, Rotherham and MK Dons. Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Plymouth and Wycombe all separated by two points from 4th to 7th. Then at the other end, only Crewe have been confirmed as relegated with Doncaster, Wimbledon, Gillingham, Fleetwood and Morecambe all fighting to stay up.

And Portsmouth competing for 8th.

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Love seeing the leagues wrapped up, and there's some real excitement to come in these final games. I can't beleive how long Pompey and Sunderland have spent down there. Never would guessed that all those years ago!

Yep, genuinely looking forward to watching Gillingham v Rotherham! Can't beat last day drama.

Massive game that, likely they'll finish 2 divisions apart. 

Plymouth v MK Dons big as well

Plymouth having an absolute stinker against MK Dons so far and have slipped out the play offs.

Sheff Wed went 1-0 down Pompey but are 3-1 up now.

Gillingham losing to Rotherham, hope Gillingham go down because it's such a scummy place and their owner is a prick.

Man City winning.

Leeds horrendous goal difference might come back to haunt them at the end of the season.

Could do with the good version of Chelsea turning up tomorrow against Everton.

Don’t be surprised if they finish the season above us. 

Unbelievable looking at the table this evening to see that could happen.

Everton v Chelsea the big one today, pressure mounting at Goodison with Burnley win yesterday, I can see this being a draw as Chelsea have gone off the boil. 

Funny hearing commentators starting to talk about the prospect of not having a Merseyside Derby next season as if that will be a big loss to the Premier league, if they're looking for games to hype up they could have the just as firey New Forest derby that can take its place.

I was thinking Everton could win today but then I looked at their form - they have only amassed 15 points since gameweek EIGHT! And I thought we were bad...

I think Burnley have possibly done enough to stay up, looking at their fixtures (they have to play Villa twice - they'll get something out of one of those at least). 37 points should be the safety mark this season. That's one more win for Leeds and Burnley but 8 points for Everton.

 

For me it's Leeds or Everton - but I'd rather have the points on the board right now, even though Leeds have the toughest fixtures left. It will probably go down to the last day.

If Everton lose today, I think they will have 1 foot in the championship.

Bored of listening to ‘identi-kit’ scousers, current commentators and ex-players, say that Everton are too big to go down, but if they do they will be the biggest club ever to be in the championship.

Just not true, on either point!

Though sacking dyche seemed mad. Now looks inspired

Obviously can never re-run those same games with Dyche as manager but it looks to have kept them in the Premier league so hats off to them. Watford must be thinking why didn't we sack more managers. 

If Everton somehow to win today I think that would make Leeds favourites to go, was only a few weeks ago we played up there and chatting to a few of their fans after the game it was as if they were already safe then.

I think all of football thought the same. I get the feeling there was a good deal of player power involved in letting him go, it seemed like a bit of an acrimonious end.

I think they will stay up, regardless of what happens today. They will beat Watford, Brentford and Palace, finish the season on 38 points. Leeds will, at best, beat Brighton and finish the season on 37.

Everton have won 3 league games since the end of September, you really think they will win 3 of their final 5?

Pretty much how I see it. I think Leeds are gone.

Watford have lost 7 of their last 8 games (I forget who it was who didn’t beat them) I think that’s a given. Brentford and Palace at Goodison, I just think they will do it with their backs to the wall and fans behind them.

That's how I see it, still points available for Everton to turn this around,  fancy them for a draw today as well

Looking back at our time in the 2nd division in the 70s it's amazing that we played Chelsea, Man Utd and Tottenham in that league as well for a season or 2 each.

Must be a while since a team were relegated with 40 points. 🤨

If Everton start winning, it could take more than that to stay up this season.

We're safe enough, it's just annoying that we're still being talked of as being in the relegation battle. (On Talksport just now). Our goal difference doesn't help. 

 

Chelsea still have Lukaku to come on. If Everton screw up this gift they don't deserve the Prem. Come on Chelsea.

There is some law that however desperate you are for a club to be relegated they somehow survive.  Took that Everton goal as bad as Saints conceding
