Newcastle second! Shall I ask for another Leeds goal now?

Maybe should have asked for Newcastle not to concede one.

Elsewhere Man City go 2-0 down at home to Villa. But can Liverpool beat Wolves?

Not 0-2 down for long.....

Lord, this is tense - top and bottom.....

This is absolutely crazy. Title and relegation on a knife edge. Burnley back in it, and Brentford 1-1, but Brentford are down to 9 men.

Ha ha! Safe!!!

Leeds 3 points clear in the end. Didn't even need that winner. Easy biggrin

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Well done our Leeds friends on here!

Obviously well, well down the pecking order in an amazing final day, but it's safe to say it's been a season of two halves for Newcastle:

First 19 games, P19 W1 D8 L10 PTS 11
Second half, P19 W12 D2 L5 PTS 38

2 points per game from the halfway stage, amazing.

Yes, Liverpool could beat Wolves. But so could Man City come back and beat Villa.

What a day !

Yes, it's easy for us comparative neutrals to keep up to date and add light comments.

But I think back to my non watching of in particular big ( eg. actually maybe get out of a finals group! ) Scotland games in the past and maybe again in a couple of weeks if we have a World Cup play-off final against Wales.

Is the match with Ukraine likely to happen, Indy?

Yeah, I was hoping Leeds would stay up, but there was obviously no jeopardy, so I was just enjoying watching it all unfold. Brentford down to 9 men helped towards the end, but it must have been pretty nerve wrecking knowing at the time, late on, a Burnley equaliser could have been curtains.

Such a crazy, eventful final day, and that's why we love the sport.

Not going to lie here, but when Brentford equalised, I turned the TV off and went for a walk for 15 mins. I couldn't take it.

Came back just as Harrison scored. Didn't even know that Brentford were down to 9 men by then.

I can't take too many more seasons like that one. But we made it in the end.
