So meander round there for a few seasons, then get relegated. Might be best to put a plan in place. 

Oh, I've got a plan. Sorry, Plan. Complete squad overhaul this summer. 

Consolidate next season then storm to the top the season after. Simple.

I've heard of mind games, but never mindless games. And I'm happy in mid table in the Championship; I can't afford promotion this season.

Clarke for me, although it could easily have been Lang or Nepomuceno.

The penultimate game of the season threw up some interesting scenarios. With Latics failing to score and Newport doing the unthinkable with free entry to season ticket holders' friends, increasing the gate by over a 1,000, the most anyone could score was 8 points. The maximum turned out to be 6, scored by @astottie, @lookersstandandy, @nzlatic and @SAV in the Premier League, @aidan_latics and @Benja in the Championship and @Brisbaneblue, @Dave_Og, @Kusunga_Is_God and @Nohairdontcare in League 1.

In the top division, it's pretty much a Libpool/Citeh set up with just one point separating @Ex_pat and @lookersstandandy. The Northampton game will be very interesting, if only for watching all the last minute edits! It will take a huge effort to overtake those two. At the other end, @Hometownclub climbed out of the relegation places, dropping @rosa back in. It doesn't look good for @singe and @GravityGrave is already gone.

@Benja is virtually assured of promotion from the Championship, but 2nd place is a race between @youngen, @Harry Bosch and @yarddog73. The last two play off places appear to be a straight fight between @aidan_latics, @LaticsPete and @BP1960, but you never can tell. The bottom three are already relegated but, if we have a 2nd Division next season, @GlossopLatic is practically down with @Stevie_J and @Handsy very much in trouble.

It's almost certain that @south east latic is promoted from League1 at the first attempt, with @Dave_Og holding a 6 point advantage over @maddog in 2nd place. @al_bro is pretty much secure in the play offs with @mick26, @Nohairdontcare and @Latics and England fighting over 6th place, but don't rule out @maximus1267. With @oafcprozac already relegated, the final two places look to be between @Lee Sinnott, @Brisbaneblue and @Kusunga_Is_God, but the latter needs a big result and a slip up from the others.

Neither thanks. They're as bad as each other, but in different ways if that makes sense. I wouldn't want either of them anywhere near our club. Unfortunately, one of them is.

Looked a bit like he left it thinking it was going wide?

It may well have been until it took the deflection. He looked very solid though apart from that and kept us in it with some excellent saves. Don't forget that this was only his 3rd (?) game. I'd be happy with him as No1 next season.

Newport 2-2 Latics (HT 1-1) - Afolayan - 3,316

I'm going. It's only 45 minutes up the road and I already had the tickets for the postponed game. Newport will be up for it, so I just want to see a decent performance.

The coach can only be Pete Wild, Chris Millington or Steve Hale......

Or Mick Priest.

Scholes says missilou was the one shouted at, maybe some other little girl told on Clarke. Missilou may have took it like a man ?

Or he didn't, and he did go running to AL. There's something that's true in the middle of all that lot.

What goes in Norfolk stays in Norfolk 

And Burnley

No huge changes in any division. @GravityGrave's 8 points couldn't get him off the bottom of the Premier League, but @rosa climbed out of the relegation places, dropping @Hometownclub in. No one down to 14th moved at all. In the Championship, @Runningman's 11 points hauled him into comparative safety and @aidan_latics replaced @BP1960 in the last play off spot. League 1 saw @dannyboy55555 consolidate his mid table position with 7 points, @Latics and England replaces @Nohairdontcare in the last play off slot and @south east latic is all but certain of Championship football next season.

It's all a bit rushed, so I hope there's no mistakes. I'm away now until Monday night so, if you spot anything wrong, please PM me and I'll rectify when I get back. Even though the play offs have gone for Latics, I'm still looking forward to being at Newport on Tuesday night. May well see some of you there.

Can we not start with idiotic conspiracy theories.

 

Poor performance and a Wild got it BADLY wrong.

 

Baxter and Afo should have been on from 60 mins latest.  Not 81 and 87!!

I assume I can now remove my tongue from my cheek? 

Has Marco told him he can't afford promotion? Nah, can't be that, surely?

Tough at the top, ain't it flower? Not that I'd know much about that, given this season's performance.

Yep mine's wrong, I think you've given me NZLatics Prediction, so he gets my point and I get bupkiss. 

I think that may have been the point where my laptop froze. By the time I got it sorted out, it looks as though I'd mixed it up on the spreadsheet. Thankfully, it makes no difference to the tables.

Are you taking the 'short' trip down the M5 Saturday, Pete? 

Normally I would be there, but I can't make it this time as we're going away for a couple of days. I'm going to try to get the tables done straight after the game, but might not manage it. I'll be back just in time to go to Newport.

I’ve got a row of x despite putting what I think is a legit prediction up in time on Monday.

 

Not a huge difference as I think only 1 point scored but could you check?

I had a laptop problem in the middle of doing the tables and I now have a funny feeling there could be other errors as well. I think @rudemedic's scorer prediction is wrong too. I'll check them out this morning. Sorry folks.

So did I. I lost my dad on Monday night. I couldnt handle losing one of our heroes as well.

Only just seen this L1on. So sorry to hear of your loss. Sincere condolences to you and all your family.

Probably the lowest ever points total overall in the history of the competition. Two points was the best anyone could manage in the Premier League, namely @astottie and @SAV. Only two players, @oafcmetty and @JoeP, moved at all, simply swapping places. In the Championship, @Bristolatic, @Harry Bosch and @Runningman managed 4 points each, the latter being the only one to gain an advantage by moving out of the danger zone. @LaticsPete did himself no favours by failing to predict a complete full time score, so only some of his prediction counted. No one in League 1 moved at all, not even @al_bro, who top scored with 5 points. Completely bizarre all round.

Can everyone try a bit harder please for the Exeter game? Aye thang yow.

Such sad news. He always gave his all and left nothing on the pitch. RIP Peter and condolences to family and friends.
