[Paisleybear30]

Over 1.5 goals and 30+ booking points in all 10 EPL games at 500/1 on Sky. Obviously a few dead rubbers but I'm very much in

 

[JayDee]

Josh Doig starting for Sassuolo.

 

[JayDee]

Penalty claim for Cagliari. I didn't see much in it. VAR says no.

 

[No Money No Problems]

Strange how TNT have the Arsenal game, I thought Sky had exclusive rights for the final day games.

It is just a normal round - BT Sport probably didn't keep a pick for the last day where TNT have

From 2025/26 the final day all 10 games will be shown by Sky under the new deal

That makes sense. Sky will be raging, lol.

 

[rangeral]

Probably will be but that is been cleaver in picking games

34 weekend rounds but 32 picks on the broadcast packages

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

So when city draw 2-2 and Arsenal get 3 points Arteta wins again on g/d ?

 

[Big Hepy]

will I stay awake? Done an all nighter as suggested. Took some caffeine pills too

 

[FMTLoyal]

Very shite that the two big games are on two different broadcasters. So if Arsenal go 1-0 up etc they can’t even show the goals. However I don’t think it will make much difference as city will do the business comfortably today.

 

[MancGer86]

Lol

 

[JayDee]

No goals in the first half in Sassuolo v Cagliari. The home side are more in need of the win.

 

[MartinS93]

Debating about whether to even bother. Can't see anything other than another title for Citeh.

 

[Wazza]

Like the look of this Crewe v Crawley match, fancy a 3-3 myself.

 

[JayDee]

The lower-league English play-offs can be very entertaining.

 

[prsoandnovo222]

would love it if west ham can take something.Would love to see arteta win it.Just never happening is it.

 

[JayDee]

Prati makes it 1-0 to Ranieri's Cagliari. Very bad news for Sassuolo.

 

[Neilston Unionist]

Really hope for Arsenal to win the League today. 8/1 on 365 as well.

 

[JayDee]

Big chance missed by Cagliari. Doig is struggling.

 

[JayDee]

Penalty to Cagliari.

 

[JayDee]

Lapadula makes it 2-0 Cagliari from the spot. That should be that.

Then Sassuolo's Henrique goes off for dissent.

 

[BlueArmada]

would love it if west ham can take something.Would love to see arteta win it.Just never happening is it.

I'm hoping for the sake of entertainment that it's still up for grabs going into the last 10-15 mins but can easily see City being 3 up at HT.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

There are genuine rumours going round that West Ham have a bug in their camp.

 

[JayDee]

Sam Lammers starting up front for Utrecht.

 

[rangeral]

Crawley take the lead

 

[JayDee]

Nice goal by Orsi for Crawley.

 

[Kirbys House]

[BrooklynBlue]

Terrific finish from the Crawley striker, outside of the foot.

 

[JayDee]

2-0 to Alkmaar v Utrecht.

 

[Wazza]

Didn't think that was a pen first look.

 

[Wazza]

It is a clear dive ain't it, keeper got ball.

 

[JC85]

Surely going to be overturned here. Clear dive, plus keeper wins the ball anyway.

 

[JayDee]

Looked like a dive. There is VAR...

 

[JC85]

Unreal he's given a corner, it's a free kick and a booking for the dive.

 

[JayDee]

1-0 to Frosinone who are looking to stay out of the relegation places.

3-0 to Alkmaar v Utrecht at HT.

 

[JayDee]

Cracking strike by Maleh for Empoli but it's ruled out for a foul by somebody else. Still 0-0.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

So conflicted about today, lot of friends are Arsenal fans and I want some of them to be happy but the other half to be miserable.

Think set pieces are West Hams best hope.

 

[rangeral]

2-0 Crawley

 

[JayDee]

Kelly makes it 2-0 to Crawley. Bit of luck involved but he was alert.

 

[JC85]

Crawley going up. Fantastic for them and their manager. Read a piece on him during the week and the guy's had a tough time of it. Lost his missus and mum in a short space of time, and back in his playing days his brother and pal were killed in a motorbike accident which pushed his old man into alcoholism which killed him as well.

Just read about that on The Athletic. Interesting Club, sure they were a bit of a laughing stock when the Yanks came in but they seem to be alright, their Owner was on pre match and thought he spoke well.

Looked them up before the game after seeing their interview.

Interesting couple of years for Crawley fans but are now in the third tier for the second time in their history. Fans get a vote at the end of the season about whether the owners stay on.

 

[JayDee]

As regards the Scottish Premiership relegation play-off place, Ross County are 2 points ahead of St Johnstone and it's Motherwell v St Johnstone and Ross County v Aberdeen.

Aye he was saying that before the kick off, this was the cock up they made when they first took over that I remember:

[Thewandofpedro]

Haven’t West Ham been involved in a final game of the season where there has been a stomach bug or food poisoning before?!

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Lammers scores with a cracking header. He'd been tidy but pretty quiet up until then.

 

[Kirbys House]

No Saka for Arsenal

 

[IbroxMainStand]

Really hope West Ham can do something today. Will be a bit of a let down if City go a few goals up early and its over before half time.

Get him back on the bench for next week!

Surprised Pep isn't putting Kova next to Rodri like he usually does.
