League One Special

Bournemouth are already promoted.

Brentford (3rd) vs. Doncaster Rovers (2nd)

One point separates the two sides. Brentford win; they're up. Brentford don't win; Doncaster are up.

It's 0-0. It's the 94th minute. It's a penalty. To Brentford. All they have to do is tuck this away, and they're up at the expense of their opponents. Could you have the bottle? Brentford step up...

AND IT HITS THE CROSSBAR.

Doncaster break away, and James Coppinger rubs salt, alcohol and lemon juice into the wound by lashing the ball home to send Doncaster Rovers up. Not only that, but up as champions. Bournemouth, already promoted, could only draw. Doncaster steal the championship from the jaws of defeat with the last sixty seconds of play on the last game of the season.

I am astounded.

I was watching that on Gillette Soccer Saturday, Jeff Stelling was going crazy.
 
And is one of my team's all time heroes. In fact, it's 20 years to the day that he led us to promotion at Northampton from Division Three (L2).

He was the Swansea manager when we escaped relegation to the conference on the final day of the season in 2003...which started our rise up through the leagues..

...Liverpool seem to be coping fine without Suarez then!

Well Johnson's had a pretty bad go in the first half with multiple times he could have been sent off. Hopefully he'll get subbed off before we're down to ten men.

EDIT: Amazing play by Coutinho to set up Sturridge for the goal!

Another great ball this time from Henderson perfectly played across to Sturridge for his second!

BORINI!!!!!!!

And there's the end of Debuchy, sent off in the 75'.

HEDERSON!! Incredible free kick for his second!

So Reading and QPR are predictably relegated after a 0-0 draw between the two...

...also, a big well done to my local team, Wrexham for making it to the conference playoff final!...They just beat Kidderminster 5-2 on agg...Grimsby-Newport is the other semi, Newport are 1-0 up from the 1st leg

...i imagine Liquid is pretty happy right now!

You bet I am.

You wait 150 years for a Wembley appearance, then two come along in the same season!

Wrexham had never been to Wembley before this season??

Anyway, Chelsea are now 2-0 up v Swansea...the gits!
 
Well that escalated quickly...

Arsenal scored after 1 min 40 seconds... Offside though, but the goal stands... :grumpy:

Had a £10 bet on RVP to score first. Was looking forward to watching and having a meltdown if RVP missed a sitter, looks like that's out of the window.
 
I never thought I would say this, but come on United!!

When I don't want you to win, you do. And when I do you don't.

Score. Now.

Not today. United look crap and the Arsenal players get nothing when they tackle the United players, while United get yellow card on everything... Pathetic.






YES!!!!!!!

RvP goal on penalty! 1-1! CMON UNITED! :D

1-1 RVP penalty!

United have been crap in the 1st half but have come into the game the last 10 mins of it...
 
If the cards don't stop then I see fines in the future for the clubs not being able to control their players.

Clubs already get a fine if they get 6 or more bookings in one match...
 
Well 1-1 at half time. A flattering first half for United I must say. We haven't looked all that good. Although dat hate on RvP :dopey:
