    Horvath looks like he's either cramping or pulled a hammy.

    Coventry equalize. No replay to show how close the first pass was to being offside. EDIT, wound it back and he looked on, but it was close enough that I'm surprised there wasn't a replay.

    Luton's keeper has had an interesting couple minutes. Lucky to not give one away.

    I didn't even realize Luton wear orange. I remember them wearing white shirts and black shorts in the Championship in the 2000s prior to their multiple relegations.

    5/20 Penultimate Match Thread

    The point means Everton need to win to be safe for sure. An Everton draw and Leicester win puts them both on 34 with Leicester having a better GD. This could be one of those final days where the teams in the relegation zone change a few times over those 2 hours as goals are scored around the...

    Liverpool 2022/23: We Go Again

    If Newcastle and the Mancs win 1 and draw 2 of their last 3, and Liverpool win their last 2, all 3 would be tied on 71 points, with ManU likely missing out on GD. The club officially announced that Firmino, Milner, Ox, and Keita will be moving on this summer. With Saturday being the last home...

    And it's down to a penalty shootout to get into the EFL. Notts County wins the shootout 4-3 to join Wrexham in League Two. Crazy drama.

    Last season MK Dons missed being promoted to the Championship by a point (and went on to lose in the playoff). This season they fell into the relegation zone on the final day and have been relegated to League Two. As AFC Wimbledon managed to survive their League Two relegation battle, we will...

    Notts County was down very early but managed to equalize with a couple minutes left to send it to extra time. Chesterfield took the lead back 3 minutes after the restart. 2-1 now, still in the first half of ET.

    Vida Blue, dead at 73

    I had a couple chancs to briefly talk with Vida, as he would hang out at a local bar near me. I shook hands with him once and his hand was huge, he could hold a baseball like most of us would hold a golf ball. The highlight was one time a coworker of mine who was a Yankee fan was blathering on...
