Speaker 1: so we'll be looking across the three divisions to build
Speaker 1: our accumulator with the aim of following up on last

Speaker 1: course the final day of the EFL season, which we
Speaker 1: will discuss in detail very shortly. Who wants to take
Speaker 1: the bragging? We aren't we great sort of vibe for
Speaker 1: this week because I'll be me or you because useless
Speaker 1: last week's acker Jake took us through it. Then it
Speaker 1: was seventeen to two, correct, Yeah, and I want you
Speaker 1: to tell us who won. And also the thing was
Speaker 1: it you that told us in the office about the
Speaker 1: percentage of back to back teams or something that we
Speaker 1: went with and they are not usually very successful.
Speaker 2: That's right. And I'm glad you put me on the
Speaker 2: spot because I don't have the notes in front of me.
Speaker 1: Allian.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, last, it's not that one. It's this one
Speaker 2: like a tracker, so I'm looking for.
Speaker 3: Yes, I haven't been updating it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have looked updated, mate, I did it.
Speaker 2: Did it on on Saturday? It on Saturday. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: had Blackburn, Crawley, stop Port Chesterfield, but it wasn't as
Speaker 2: smooth sailing as it may sound. Was like stop Port
Speaker 2: went tunel down.
Speaker 1: Yes, what the hell was all that about?
Speaker 2: I don't know. And there was a few comments being like, oh,
Speaker 2: stop Port fucked it already and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, they didn't. They came back just as we
Speaker 2: knew they would. Chesterfield comfortable over more can Crawley dominate
Speaker 2: against Northampton and Blackburn had to come from behind as
Speaker 2: well to beat Watford who actually and she keep having
Speaker 2: on a pitch made it competitive. Yeah, in the end
Speaker 2: it was. It was one of those where after eight
Speaker 2: five minutes, it was like, just see it out. Lads.
Speaker 2: Back to back winners as well, which after the Eastern
Speaker 2: Monday eight to one, so finishing the season pretty hot.
Speaker 1: What were those comments?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Scott shown Dennis got in touch to say, what
Speaker 3: has happened to st It's in the bag if they
Speaker 3: can find three goals? And they did, didn't they did
Speaker 3: well up Tribe of Gad But where are the haters? Now?
Speaker 3: I could get comfortable with this winning lock? Thanks again, team.
Speaker 3: I didn't read this one all the way through. Thanks again, Team.
Speaker 3: You even did it about Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's the one I wanted to bring up.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? What the hell does that mean?
Speaker 2: Does that mean that he thinks that you're the star
Speaker 2: player of this team? Is that what he's resting him
Speaker 2: ahead of the playoffs? That's what we're doing.
Speaker 3: No, but I was excited to see a lot of
Speaker 3: people in the comments added teams to success. Colin Walker. Well,
Speaker 3: then I was very consistent. I did six early kickoffs,
Speaker 3: Lute and Burnley, Orion, Read and Donnie and port Vale
Speaker 3: five pound aker he got over six hundred pack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the odds in those early kickoffs were mad.
Speaker 1: Burnley were like events Leyton Orient drifted to point where
Speaker 1: they were pushing five to two before kickoff. They were
Speaker 1: the outsiders in that one. Basically a lot of those
Speaker 1: games it was like I think Reading as well were
Speaker 1: pushing six to fourish.
Speaker 2: Put them up in your column and you're all those three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is only one of the reason why I
Speaker 1: know the price on the top of head, but some
Speaker 1: of those early kickoffs as well, So I think there
Speaker 1: was enough games as well to kind of build an ACA.
Speaker 1: So it's great see that people did so successfully.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone Charlie Sharby, he added York, they won. Somebody
Speaker 3: else added Burton and Barney at sixteen to one they won.
Speaker 2: He was the other team that we had. We had
Speaker 2: Burton and then well Lyle car Lyle in the boost.
Speaker 1: So we waffled on for so long last week that
Speaker 1: Joe wanted to include Carlyle to be Cheltenham was it
Speaker 1: And I think they got chinned last minute, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: They were wander up for a while.
Speaker 1: So their relegation was confirmed ahead of final day. So
Speaker 1: that was the other one, and obviously that was the
Speaker 1: only one that let that down because Burton, which I
Speaker 1: mean absolutely remarkable, this great escape that they have done there.
Speaker 1: I think there were eleven points a drift in mid
Speaker 1: January time. Gary Bower has somehow kept them up. Basically
Speaker 1: cre as Well, yeah, basically confirmed it last weekend, did
Speaker 1: mathematically confirm it with a point in the week So
Speaker 1: absolutely remarkable for them.
Speaker 3: Is that. I'm furious with that Droe against Wigan. I
Speaker 3: was going to do because what would they needed. I
Speaker 3: was going to do Burton to lose eight nil and
Speaker 3: cruelly to win eight nil. Oh yeah, column idiots.
Speaker 1: Never mind, Well you could do the and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about obviously, but there's a title race that in the
Speaker 1: Championship that needs a golf swing like that. Just do
Speaker 1: that one. They said, Yeah, they go plum for a
Speaker 1: massive price. Take them to win it. No anything else
Speaker 1: I want to scussed actually before we get into the
Speaker 1: AKA doesn't even have to be about the ACA, just
Speaker 1: football in general. That's the Champions League.
Speaker 2: Me in your mouth's pretty good and he was incredible.
Speaker 2: He's not a bad footballer.
Speaker 1: Go tried to wind Jimmy up at the office that
Speaker 1: he thought he went, Oh that tippy yours last night
Speaker 1: went well didn't it. It won, and he had it
Speaker 1: in his head that you tipped on the goals or something.
Speaker 1: Well that's why he wasn't allowed on today.
Speaker 2: I mean he was half right because you put no goals,
Speaker 2: no cards up and that ended after thirty two seconds.
Speaker 3: So second quickest loser, you told me, because yes, sick
Speaker 3: no goals in the FA Cup final last year eight seconds.
Speaker 1: Oh was that gnacking it in two years ago? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I enjoy your tweets though, because you're very You're very.
Speaker 3: Like you know, it's betting, so this just happens.
Speaker 2: He was four hundred and fifty to one for a reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I hate doing them bets. I usually don't
Speaker 3: watch the game and I go out with the dog
Speaker 3: or something. I listened to it and it's just too
Speaker 3: uncomfortable to it. But everything got done. So I sat
Speaker 3: down with Chris Beer. I was like, right, let's keep
Speaker 3: it tight first five minutes and then it's just going
Speaker 3: to get tighter and tighter and we'll be laughing. And
Speaker 3: then I comes up planning what am I going to
Speaker 3: do with the ten grand I've just well, however much
Speaker 3: however I win, I'll probably we'll probably go Mexico buy
Speaker 3: a boat, speed boat or something, so.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get it for that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay for two seconds to around us that finish.
Speaker 1: I was in the hopping leads, which meant that they
Speaker 1: had the TV on but the sound off, which I
Speaker 1: highly recommend. No, not yet, but real Ferdinand's and main
Speaker 1: character syndrome. Yeah, Tossa is on that and he ruins
Speaker 1: the coverage every single time. It's bliss to watch a
Speaker 1: game about them going, Oh, it's about me, It's about me.
Speaker 1: Oh it's about me. Everyone stop watching the game, everyone,
Speaker 1: it's about me. It's all about me. Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletch,
Speaker 1: Fletcher Fletch.
Speaker 3: About five minutes into the game always goes Offers made
Speaker 3: his way up to the country boxing you thinking box hey,
Speaker 3: someone just grabbed him money his way around and keep
Speaker 3: him away.
Speaker 1: His highlight send him pitch side after the game, Rio,
Speaker 1: I was going to go dwn to pitch side. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: we can enjoy the last few seconds come on.
Speaker 2: His highlight was like I can't believe was allowed to
Speaker 2: leave the Premier League, as though he was gone to
Speaker 2: play for like you know, Braga or somebody is playing
Speaker 2: for Barcelona. His clubs in the world.
Speaker 1: Where did he leave a team who survived relegation on
Speaker 1: the final day to go to let me just sweating
Speaker 1: now Barcelona if you've heard of them, and.
Speaker 2: He's the ball one door favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a terrible move all around for everyone,
Speaker 1: isn't it? That hasn't worked out? What else has happened?
Speaker 1: Have you been following the non league playoffs a little bit?
Speaker 3: Bits? Yeah, this is some big job.
Speaker 1: There's been some just drama across that with the Dorking one,
Speaker 1: didn't it Dorking one?
Speaker 2: Yes? Welling with free one up and born Would they
Speaker 2: were playing, Yeah, boren Would's defender scored two goals to
Speaker 2: put Dorking get one up and then scored a winner
Speaker 2: in the ninety fifth minute or something.
Speaker 1: Should he get the match ball? Yes, that's a match tricking.
Speaker 3: Its imagine being on docking blow three.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, if you do it on three six five,
Speaker 2: or you know, on the two up tool on many buttmakers,
Speaker 2: then you're laughing.
Speaker 3: No. I was on them to win the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Oh right?
Speaker 3: Is that why he said that? I apologize what what
Speaker 3: they might paid out on them to win it? They
Speaker 3: went to the with Totten.
Speaker 1: Tott and that's what I'm looking for. Yeah, if you've
Speaker 1: not seen this is absolutely remarkable. I think this was
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night, was it. Charlie Austin plays for all
Speaker 1: the teams which I wasn't aware of.
Speaker 2: The one that's fish three three with five goals.
Speaker 1: Yes, so Dorchester were tuning up at half time, was
Speaker 1: so much so they were tuning up in the ninetieth minute,
Speaker 1: In the eleventh minute of ad A Time, Totten went
Speaker 1: three too up and then in the fourteenth minute of
Speaker 1: at a Time Dorchester scored an equalizer. So you had
Speaker 1: four goals in added time, of which that's a lot
Speaker 1: of I'm not sure what happened.
Speaker 2: There must have been some serious celebrating going on after
Speaker 2: these goals, like to add that much time on afterwards,
Speaker 2: and then.
Speaker 1: One hundred and nineteenth minute the fight, well, the penultimate
Speaker 1: minute of extra time, Charlie Austin, who remembers Charlie Austen,
Speaker 1: scored the winner for Totten.
Speaker 2: And then you were talking about the guys in one as.
Speaker 1: Well Eisley drama. In that one, Stockton beat Guysley in
Speaker 1: the NPL playoffs, which I mean preseason. I don't have
Speaker 1: mentioned this form back to guysly at fifty to one
Speaker 1: to win the league. Beaus have watched them in one
Speaker 1: preseason game against Bradton and went, wow, these these are
Speaker 1: these lads can play in some.
Speaker 3: Serious and North Talent National League North Talent. They were
Speaker 3: going for it.
Speaker 1: And then I mean they were in a league of Macrosfield,
Speaker 1: so it was always gonna be tough and work and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah, and that they were in with
Speaker 1: some good teams. All they had to do was win
Speaker 1: on final day they would have.
Speaker 2: A home playoff.
Speaker 1: Drew on final day, go to Stockton Town. I've lost
Speaker 1: one nil to Stockton Town. Oh no, we're through. Hang on.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Stockton put a club statement out to say that they're
Speaker 1: in communication with the FA regarding a disciplinary matter. And
Speaker 1: it turns out that they may have filed an intellegible player.
Speaker 1: I believe based on the red card suspension ruling. Non
Speaker 1: league not applying to playoffs is at the five day rule,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 3: I think uster Don were telling me about it and
Speaker 3: this morning. And the hilarious thing is they saw him, guys,
Speaker 3: he saw him warming up and lets you need to
Speaker 3: and they're like wait, wait, kicked the ball and straight
Speaker 3: out on the phone to wherever it is the FA yep.
Speaker 1: Crime ring the police. Hello, we've got one go in jail.
Speaker 1: Stockton said they did put a thing out after the
Speaker 1: game going. Despite the rumors regarding club captain Adam Nicholson suspension,
Speaker 1: this is the information the club has stating the suspension
Speaker 1: does not start until the third of May as expected.
Speaker 1: It's obviously an automated thing, isn't it. Which yeah, and
Speaker 1: it says you know, starts Saturday, third of May blah blah. Fine,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't kick in until this weekend. Oh right, okay,
Speaker 1: and then the next day they went actually, actually there
Speaker 1: do you communication? They say they're confident that they've acted
Speaker 1: correctly in full comply, but there is a little bit
Speaker 1: of drama in the Northern Premier.
Speaker 3: Who does that fall on? Because you know what it's
Speaker 3: like in non league it's all outside the paid football
Speaker 3: and management staff. Even some of the coaches aren't paid.
Speaker 3: Who does that fall on? It will be like a
Speaker 3: voluntary sex It will be like a volunteer who's done
Speaker 3: it and get bollocked. I think it does it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be if it's if it's someone the likelihood
Speaker 1: is the volunteer and unfortunately this does happen. And to
Speaker 1: be fair, if it does happen as it says, they've
Speaker 1: gone on a portalor the portal has automatically said it
Speaker 1: starts at this date, it's not on them who have
Speaker 1: taken time out of their own lives to do this
Speaker 1: to then go, I need to study the entire rule
Speaker 1: book here to see if this is the case. You
Speaker 1: just I have a checklist of every game, check suspension, spension. Okay,
Speaker 1: we have a suspension, so sadly third and may find
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It'll be fine, you know. Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: missing for the final if we get that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But actually it doesn't, and so yeah we're not.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's a different protocol when you get
Speaker 2: to the you're saying compared to the league, so you've
Speaker 2: got all certainless you are in the know or you've
Speaker 2: experienced this before, you know.
Speaker 1: Southern League prem Central. Last night Telford beat hales Owen.
Speaker 1: But do you see I think they are about four
Speaker 1: thousand people their haill zone had the entire stand behind
Speaker 1: the goal. Elford probably have arguably the best ground outside
Speaker 1: of the top five divisions. I think they can get
Speaker 1: about six and a half thousand or something in there,
Speaker 1: so huge turnouts across the board on the national league,
Speaker 1: which buys into my theory that I mean that brilliant
Speaker 1: striker that I've told about, this Telford striker that they
Speaker 1: have scored about five hundred or whatever. He scored the winner. Naturally,
Speaker 1: but particularly this time of season. But I think we
Speaker 1: are getting to a point where more and more people
Speaker 1: are going to be enjoying and watching non league football.
Speaker 1: And I think the playoffs have shown this.
Speaker 3: You're not the attendances, so you not appreciate the fact
Speaker 3: that Prairie Valley Papers lost last night paper Mill remember
Speaker 3: then from the Cup.
Speaker 2: But like when you get to nationally single leg knockout
Speaker 2: for the playoffs, yeah, I think that's so I mean,
Speaker 2: that's so good. Yeah, it does mean that that home
Speaker 2: you get home from advantage.
Speaker 1: It's an incentive. And it's also the lack of pissing
Speaker 1: about let's get this done right. We've all we've all
Speaker 1: got stuff to do. We don't necessarily have pictures, just
Speaker 1: you know, and and stuff like that. And it looks
Speaker 1: like season finishal on Saturday. These playoffs are on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: You're off seeing that you're going there, you obviously roughly
Speaker 1: know who you're going to play, but do you like that?
Speaker 1: And in the finals Bank Holiday Monday, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of them across the border Bank Holiday Monday, which I
Speaker 1: think is really good rather than having.
Speaker 2: On Saturday Day, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no clashes with Premier League games. Put it on
Speaker 1: the Monday and get people along to it, and hopefully
Speaker 1: that they will, particularly in those you know, obviously if
Speaker 1: you're hosting it and you're you're at a loose end,
Speaker 1: check it out. See if you've got a team in
Speaker 1: a player final, because a good chances you might well
Speaker 1: do down the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I love you rarely ever, only want to
Speaker 3: it springs to mine. In the Championship Huddersfield going up
Speaker 3: without scoring a goal in ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sheffield Wednesday scored no goal, I believe in a
Speaker 1: playoff and then they want to out your.
Speaker 2: Pen reading on in the final.
Speaker 3: Whis very rare that that can happen the way it's
Speaker 3: staggered in non league. You can just do a job
Speaker 3: for two hours, nick it on pens. You only need
Speaker 3: to do it three times.
Speaker 1: There you go. And also as well, if you want
Speaker 1: entertainment right. Last night Southern League Premier Central Telford three
Speaker 1: hailsover And two Kettering Harboro was one nil, but I
Speaker 1: was on penalties, so you got penalty shoe out there.
Speaker 1: Go to the Southern League Premier South Totten. The game
Speaker 1: we discussed was four to three against Dorchester. Gloucester beat
Speaker 1: Walton and Hersham three to two. In the Ishmian League,
Speaker 1: do overbeat biller Ricky two to one after extra time,
Speaker 1: so you got extra time drama there. And the Cray
Speaker 1: Valley paper Mill game that we said there four to
Speaker 1: three for Dartford as well. Get yourself to one of
Speaker 1: these non league playoffs. You're gonna get yourself some drama's
Speaker 1: brilliant onto this week. Then should we.
Speaker 2: Start building up, Well, let's just keep talking.
Speaker 1: Actually, that's just so much better than actual league. It's
Speaker 1: so much better.
Speaker 3: Your seasons, it is way better, so good and so good.
Speaker 1: We were actually really annoyed that Guisly didn't get a
Speaker 1: home playoff because we had already provisionally planned the Tuesday
Speaker 1: night trip up to Guisly with excitement. Yes, finally we
Speaker 1: can get back to go up there.
Speaker 2: They're never gonna get home.
Speaker 3: They'll be playing Worksop if if they do get through
Speaker 3: on the technicality, won't they it's not far Yeah.
Speaker 1: I tell you what direct training from Leeds is it
Speaker 1: Northern Line the slow train to Nottingham.
Speaker 2: That'll stop it Worksop. This is a decent little stadium, Tinneys.
Speaker 3: I've never been works Up.
Speaker 2: I used to work the hands with Paramore. They share
Speaker 2: a ground shared with works Up.
Speaker 3: Oh played there? Actually? Yeah? A you summer, we've got
Speaker 3: you play for? We lost?
Speaker 2: Who did you play for? It was you played friends
Speaker 2: with good ground Orange and Blackstrap and the best thing
Speaker 2: about that game were balls kept going over the main stand.
Speaker 3: One of them got wedged under our car. So we're
Speaker 3: going out of the cup, but we got your ball boys.
Speaker 2: It's for a hat trick.
Speaker 3: That is the real party car in the right spot.
Speaker 3: That's the real coyse this week.
Speaker 2: Then do you want to tackle it?
Speaker 1: I was going to say this, So we've got I
Speaker 1: said the start two in the Prem and it's evertip
Speaker 1: switch Leicester Southamon. Does anyone desperately want to talk about
Speaker 1: these games?
Speaker 2: I mean one to two were interesting, but they have
Speaker 2: short eight to thirteen so they're a bit bigger. Yesterday
Speaker 2: they've shortened one to two. It's shackles off. Everton have
Speaker 2: not won for a while, so I probably would.
Speaker 1: Leave that alone and just to Southampton. Any gamble on
Speaker 1: who wants to guess who wins this nobody.
Speaker 2: I think they both lose somewhow Southampton I'll just take
Speaker 2: because they're above two to one and they're both terrible.
Speaker 3: I really want them to go longer without beating Derby's
Speaker 3: points tally. I'd love it if they don't get anything
Speaker 3: from these.
Speaker 2: One of my love it if they didn't beat them.
Speaker 3: Really would One of.
Speaker 1: My mates set up a prediction game for how many
Speaker 1: points Darby will get and he set some months ago.
Speaker 1: You know when it was sorry Southampton while they beat
Speaker 1: Darby's record, I had fourteen. So I need one more
Speaker 1: win and I've nailed it, and this is the game
Speaker 1: I need them to win. I needed a draw somewhere
Speaker 1: they got out of west Ham and I need a
Speaker 1: win from somewhere. So if they wouldn't mind doing it
Speaker 1: against Leicester and then just losing out for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season, I greatly appreciate.
Speaker 2: It helps your case that lest haven't scored for about
Speaker 2: a million years hour.
Speaker 1: So south times you can score, can't defend. Here we go,
Speaker 1: it's happening. We've got those two games at three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, them that prayer of.
Speaker 1: League one and League two are together at three o'clock.
Speaker 1: They're all televised, I believe, on the Sky Sports Plus
Speaker 1: there this weekend. You can watch them all with it
Speaker 1: being final day. There are a few obviously get the
Speaker 1: main event treatment can't remember who they have done anyway,
Speaker 1: you can watch them all and at twelve thirty the
Speaker 1: Championship as well. They've put that earlier, of which, unsurprisingly
Speaker 1: Coventry Middlesborough is the main event game. Watch someone on TV.
Speaker 3: The feature game in League One is Uzzersfield Laighton Orient.
Speaker 1: It is Huddersfield Laighton Orient. Actually because I thought, why
Speaker 1: not put like Bradford Fleetwood or something, and why not
Speaker 1: put a potential promotion? Yeah, don't home team on that.
Speaker 1: You can watch thatch.
Speaker 3: You've got the best division for drama. Final Day we're
Speaker 3: going to ignore it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's definitely get get watching it because a
Speaker 1: few games that obviously we will discuss shortly. Do we
Speaker 1: want to talk championship twelve thirty there's a couple of
Speaker 1: teams I wouldn't do a cross acker, but i'm i'm
Speaker 1: I have a few, Yeah, I would, I just say
Speaker 1: you've got more games to go at Abbot loads to
Speaker 1: shoree PM. But then equally in the championship, I had
Speaker 1: five written down to make a twelve thirty sort of ACA.
Speaker 1: Maybe we bill two. Maybe it's said of a long one,
Speaker 1: we can have a twelve thirteen a three PM that you.
Speaker 2: Can get involved.
Speaker 3: I really like that.
Speaker 1: This week let's talk championship. Then permittations are there are
Speaker 1: two playoff spots up for grabs. The title is to
Speaker 1: be decided. There is one relegation spot realistically Plymouth for
Speaker 1: obviously the goal difference unfortunately has done there and it
Speaker 1: was just a little bit too late. If the manager
Speaker 1: will change, maybe happened a couple of weeks before. They
Speaker 1: might have got an extra couple of points that was required.
Speaker 1: That is the state of play. Where do you want
Speaker 1: to go? Who do you want to talk about?
Speaker 3: First?
Speaker 2: I think my favorite that involves none of the per rotations. Again,
Speaker 2: with not a lot on the line. Swansea at home
Speaker 2: to Oxford seven to ten for Swansea they're finishing red hearts.
Speaker 2: Look at his face a big fan, well Oxford have
Speaker 2: got nothing to play for, like they're safe, they're going
Speaker 2: to be you know, probably a little bit of party
Speaker 2: celebrations and Swansea they lost to Millwall last time out
Speaker 2: away from home at the Den, and Wull have won
Speaker 2: five or six in a row. But before that they'd
Speaker 2: won five straight and they'd looked really good under their
Speaker 2: interim caretaking my.
Speaker 1: Permanent, our permanent, Alan Sheing are given the job last night. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: say they've confirmed him was getting it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And as you're about to say before, yeah, they've been.
Speaker 2: They've been excellent one five of the last six at home.
Speaker 2: The only defeat in that time came against Burnley, so
Speaker 2: they're beating everybody apart from the promoted Tide And Max
Speaker 2: said Oxford's got nothing to play for Swansea. I just
Speaker 2: think that Swansea are showing that they have got the
Speaker 2: potential to be pretend potential playoff contenders next season if
Speaker 2: they carry on in the same level of process, because
Speaker 2: during the line process has taken a massive upturn. And
Speaker 2: if that is the case and they continue playing the
Speaker 2: same way here in admittedly a game that doesn't mean
Speaker 2: a lot tends a big price, they are one of
Speaker 2: those trapped teams like second, aren't they no you think no?
Speaker 3: No? I mean in terms of like the next season
Speaker 3: they could be good. No track Fish fourteen. There's no
Speaker 3: more chap teams anymore. If you're not heard, they're going down.
Speaker 1: You're going what an absolute Someone tweeted, didn't they say
Speaker 1: no whips the Championship?
Speaker 3: Oh no?
Speaker 1: If whipens the Championship, if Bristol City go up and
Speaker 1: press and go down. But it's going to be to
Speaker 1: use wrestling terminology when Rick Flair Shawn Michael's Pete Rick Flair,
Speaker 1: And it's that dramatic thing that these two have been
Speaker 1: just like that in the Championship. Haven't they just lovingly
Speaker 1: in mid table together? And if Bristol City have to
Speaker 1: inflict the final sweech in music on Presston to relegate them,
Speaker 1: that's going to be heartbreaking for Championship fans everywhere that
Speaker 1: not only could they be separated, but one turns the
Speaker 1: knife on the other and it stabs them in the
Speaker 1: back for their own gain in that one, But.
Speaker 3: I can imagine Bristol City weeping as they do plunge
Speaker 3: the knife into Preston's back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as the whistle goes and they're going all the
Speaker 1: tears are on the pitch, you know, that's how happy
Speaker 1: they after the playoffs. So it turns out it's not
Speaker 1: about the playoffs. It's about we're so sorry that we
Speaker 1: know results elsewhere aren't going your way and we're sorry
Speaker 1: we had to do this, but it's for our own good.
Speaker 1: Although Jimmy, I'm sure you would love a Preston relegation
Speaker 1: to buy a speedboat. Then if be able to get
Speaker 1: a speedboat. Yeah, what's going on here?
Speaker 3: I was just because Gad tweeted the other day there's
Speaker 3: a scenario where Coventry can go up and Preston to
Speaker 3: be relegated to Preston can be relegated and Preston have
Speaker 3: lost less games than Coventry. Yes, I did see this, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was just trying to work out if it's still true.
Speaker 1: A lot of drawers of screwed up president, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Just a bit.
Speaker 2: They they would have to lose.
Speaker 3: This weekend, aren't they to go down? So that would
Speaker 3: put on seventeen come to your on seventy eight. They'd
Speaker 3: be the same scene, which is still crazy over a
Speaker 3: full season team that gets in the playoffs loses the
Speaker 3: same amount.
Speaker 2: As a team that goes down.
Speaker 1: I did have a look actually in terms of the
Speaker 1: playoffs this season, there is a realistic scenario if you
Speaker 1: look at the way the table is playing out, that
Speaker 1: we could have the lowest ever points tally for a
Speaker 1: sixth place team since the Championship rebrand The current lowest,
Speaker 1: I believe is Leicester in twenty thirteen got sixty eight.
Speaker 1: Was that the infamous Knockhart dni has to be done
Speaker 1: that year they got sixty eight. Currently Coventry on sixty six,
Speaker 1: Millsbrough who they play sixty four, So if the Coventry
Speaker 1: don't win, they go up to sixty seven. Coventry sixty seven,
Speaker 1: Millwall maybe get something to Burnley that's the sixty seven
Speaker 1: again Blackburn against Sheffield United. Talk about both of those
Speaker 1: games shortly because I'm quite keen to. They can end
Speaker 1: up with nothing. So there is a situation actually where
Speaker 1: the team who finishes sixth returned the lowest points tally
Speaker 1: in since the Championship rebranding. What was it two thousand
Speaker 1: and four? On that note, ninety seven points at the
Speaker 1: top end and Burnley who are playing is it Millwell? Yes,
Speaker 1: ninety seven points with current goal difference would win you
Speaker 1: the title in fifteen of the last twenty seasons as well,
Speaker 1: So I mean Burnley if they get one hundred points
Speaker 1: as well, incredibly unfortunate. And it's vice versa of her leads.
Speaker 1: If they don't get it, fifteen of twenty would win
Speaker 1: you the title, and not to do.
Speaker 2: So points of finished second is the pretty. It's a
Speaker 2: poor indictment.
Speaker 1: They should get a whole. Really, it should get a
Speaker 1: better trophy than that daft promotion one that second place teams.
Speaker 3: Get a shield.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You get something, don't you.
Speaker 3: It's only recent though, bad and it is very bad.
Speaker 1: The championship have never had two teams one hundred points either,
Speaker 1: so that could be quite big for the situation that we're.
Speaker 2: On circling back, putting a pin in it.
Speaker 1: Let's hear the other ones. You want to go, you
Speaker 1: want to so many go for I mean I mentioned there,
Speaker 1: but again only four to six to beat Millwall. I
Speaker 1: know mill will have beaten them at the Den, but
Speaker 1: in my head Mill will be everyone at the Den.
Speaker 1: I don't care what the stats say. In my head
Speaker 1: they always win at the Den. Burnley four to six again,
Speaker 1: it's just another case of but the table largely doesn't lie.
Speaker 1: They're on ninety seven points, they could get a hundred points.
Speaker 1: They still have cliches, something to play for.
Speaker 2: And did you see that clip of them at QPR
Speaker 2: last week? Yeah, QPR on the character can literally yeah swarming.
Speaker 2: It's incredible to just see like it was.
Speaker 1: And again it's shown the case for both and then
Speaker 1: lead to one four mill on Monday that the pressure
Speaker 1: is off and it's like there's no real obviously the
Speaker 1: title's there, but as nice as it is to win
Speaker 1: the title and get some silverware, I don't think people
Speaker 1: who don't support the clubs who win it largely remember
Speaker 1: who wins the title. You just kind of remember who
Speaker 1: goes up that year, so it's a personal name for
Speaker 1: them that I think the pressure really is off, and
Speaker 1: I think we saw that a QPR that there is
Speaker 1: no jeopardy really to it now, there's no team breathing
Speaker 1: down their neck, and it's for them as well. They're
Speaker 1: the outsiders in the situation which all we can do
Speaker 1: is win in front of our own supporters. As an
Speaker 1: additional initiative there for the title as well, it's just
Speaker 1: four to six. They've shown how good they are all
Speaker 1: season and on similar pattern. Actually, I'm going to use
Speaker 1: my line just because a team needs to win does
Speaker 1: not mean that they will win, which takes me to
Speaker 1: bram A Lane. Sheffield United are thirteen to ten to
Speaker 1: beat Blackburn who are somehow and you talk about the
Speaker 1: league being bad? Have we allowed this to happen? Why
Speaker 1: are Blackburn back in the playoff race again? Probably because
Speaker 1: of the low points tally of the team at six
Speaker 1: Sheffield and Ied are thirteen to ten to win.
Speaker 2: I mean there were two to one at Stoke Glass,
Speaker 2: they were.
Speaker 1: Two to one at Stoke and it's watching them play
Speaker 1: against Stoke. They played very very well again in at
Speaker 1: Patches they created a lot and it's the reaction afterwards
Speaker 1: as well, the away end. It's the last kind of
Speaker 1: obviously'll have another away game in the playoffs, but is
Speaker 1: the last away game of the regular season. The fan reaction,
Speaker 1: it was like the negativity, the doom and gloom that
Speaker 1: comes with missing out and automatics wasn't there. Wilder's reaction
Speaker 1: as well, and his tone since that Burnley game has
Speaker 1: been more relaxed, has been more kind of.
Speaker 2: Not squaring up to anybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more the pressure again, the pressure is off
Speaker 1: a little bit, we know off. A best thing that
Speaker 1: probably could have happened to them was it getting sorted
Speaker 1: with two games to go, so they have a couple
Speaker 1: of games to sort it out. They've turned up to
Speaker 1: Stoke who cliched I had something to play for away
Speaker 1: and beating them, and beating them relatively well in terms
Speaker 1: of how that game went. Burnley and Sheffield United for
Speaker 1: an early double is two point eight to one, two
Speaker 1: point eight four to one, So just shy of threes
Speaker 1: on two of the best teams in the division getting
Speaker 1: one final home game, final home win before the regular
Speaker 1: seasons out, which I just think both of those games
Speaker 1: I'm all over.
Speaker 3: Rob Yeah, I don't mind it. It's just Blackburns up
Speaker 3: tick recently which makes me a bit other and the
Speaker 3: clashes styles that more although there unbelievable. But just because
Speaker 3: they need to win doesn't mean they have to west
Speaker 3: from twenty one to ten to looten. Not that too
Speaker 3: much of an overreaction.
Speaker 1: I can you can we get involved in West Brom
Speaker 1: not all? Yeah, surely that is.
Speaker 2: My devias in the last seven one one in nine
Speaker 2: seemed avoid of confidence sandals on. They've got the bucketing spades.
Speaker 2: They've obviously got that manager. Well, there are reports that
Speaker 2: Martyi Tuentes.
Speaker 1: Is not going to get the job apparently, and that's
Speaker 1: a turn they went, we believe is in talk to
Speaker 1: another championship club. We believe that club to be West Brom.
Speaker 1: Two days later gone, you don't get the west Brom job.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, I rub So. Yeah, they've got nothing
Speaker 2: to play for, which is a right. You're getting that
Speaker 2: big price, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Just because they need to win doesn't mean they will
Speaker 3: Hull five to four at Portsmouth? No, what about ports
Speaker 3: of eleven to five?
Speaker 2: I actually have a bit of ports I've got a
Speaker 2: portsmof down here as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is insanity.
Speaker 2: Then they're the favor They're my favorite. One of the
Speaker 2: teams that yah to kind of upset the apple cart
Speaker 2: and yeah, do do do a dirty to the opposite team.
Speaker 3: But there's a few Yeah, they could send them down obviously.
Speaker 3: The home form is it. It is their first season.
Speaker 3: It's been such a long season. It feels like it's
Speaker 3: a couple of seasons though ago that they came up.
Speaker 3: But this is the first season back in the championship
Speaker 3: in a lot of trouble up until fairly recently last
Speaker 3: three four months where they pulled away final home game,
Speaker 3: go out on a high. And I just think too
Speaker 3: much has been put into a whole needing to win
Speaker 3: because their record even since sALS took charge against the
Speaker 3: teams but one quarter of the divisions, he's rotten. They
Speaker 3: really struggle. I just thought that.
Speaker 1: Might ben't it. I mean the other games as well.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth because again for clarity, I think
Speaker 1: we'll put together a little twelve thirty ACA and rather
Speaker 1: have rather than have the normal ACKA and the longer acker,
Speaker 1: we'll just replace it. We'll put a twelve thirty one up.
Speaker 1: We'll get a three pm one up as well. We
Speaker 1: mentioned Swansea, mentioned Burnley. We want chefers. We just mentioned
Speaker 1: Portsmouth as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: You mentioned West Brom. Yeah, okay, Derby, the other teams.
Speaker 1: I did have Derby to beat Stoke.
Speaker 3: Draw suits all parties there, realistically, does it not? Jack?
Speaker 1: Are you suggesting that we get to a point where
Speaker 1: they passing it around in the.
Speaker 2: There is a scenario that Darby and Stoke could draw
Speaker 2: in Preston Looton Hall winning then Derby go down. I
Speaker 2: mean if only a win guarantee, if Huller.
Speaker 1: Winning the ACA screwed anyway, so who cares? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's double jeopardy. Sondling QPR. Sorry was the other one
Speaker 1: as well, Soundling to beat QPR because we talk about
Speaker 1: the Wentz. He's on Gardland leave now talk about a
Speaker 1: team who Jesus Christ want the final whistle to come
Speaker 1: in Sunderland. The let's go as strong as possible to
Speaker 1: get some momentum for the playoffs. Didn't quite work at Oxford,
Speaker 1: but now back at the Stadium of Light, I think,
Speaker 1: come on, I put your best team out there again.
Speaker 2: It's a massive game for him.
Speaker 1: And it is let's let's you know, eight to thirteen.
Speaker 1: They are let's just win the game, get into and
Speaker 1: actually have a win on the board going into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So we're not falling into them because they have had
Speaker 1: It's been a bizarre season. I've had nothing to play
Speaker 1: for for quite a while now and it has just
Speaker 1: been squad management. Hasn't it up until last weekend where
Speaker 1: it did backfire slightly? But yeah, for me, I just think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got a bit of winn, hasn't it.
Speaker 3: What about Bristol City, Bristol City to be preston, it's Kristen.
Speaker 2: I don't like it too much.
Speaker 3: On the line, I think Forge Bristol City need to
Speaker 3: a result.
Speaker 2: And I know but just because they need doesn't mean
Speaker 2: they're gonna.
Speaker 3: Yeah, both of these need to get a result.
Speaker 2: They performance on Monday against Leeds was shot.
Speaker 3: Changed one of the best chance.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: My only reservations about it.
Speaker 2: They were so poor.
Speaker 3: I don't think there were I just don't think Leeds
Speaker 3: get enough credit.
Speaker 1: The atmosphere as well was very much like it was
Speaker 1: party time on Monday, I think, and it was like
Speaker 1: I think from away team going there against like you say,
Speaker 1: one one, just a really strong team who have no
Speaker 1: pressure whatsoever, and the expectation was that it'd be a
Speaker 1: comfortable home win. You kind of just almost have to
Speaker 1: play the part a little bit, don't you Just go
Speaker 1: is just to get the nightment is done and get
Speaker 1: out of here sort of thing and rebuild.
Speaker 3: Bristol ended up having a shot on target.
Speaker 1: They did in the ninety third minute straight down the
Speaker 1: throat of Carl Darlow, who got many I would have spilled,
Speaker 1: just gathered it up and it did get a little
Speaker 1: sarcastic cheer for the only the only reason I am
Speaker 1: slightly hesitant is that if you look at Bristol City's
Speaker 1: recent results at home, they have won five of six,
Speaker 1: but all five have come by.
Speaker 2: A single goal margin. I'll do make again Preston away
Speaker 2: from home, their defeats are all coming by a single
Speaker 2: gold margin. So there's not a lot in the games
Speaker 2: home or away for Bristol City your Preston. So that
Speaker 2: I think, I see this is two teams that the
Speaker 2: result would go either way. It could be a one
Speaker 2: nill win to the Preston, could be one nill win
Speaker 2: to Bristol City, yes, versus I think four to five.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit too brilliant.
Speaker 1: Thing is if we do settle on including Portsmouth in
Speaker 1: an early ACA, and we only really need two of
Speaker 1: us because of their big price, he could do a
Speaker 1: little trouble at Tensish.
Speaker 3: About Chef United.
Speaker 1: I was going to say to amazingly on this bets
Speaker 1: that be in front of me. I've put Burnley, Sheffield
Speaker 1: right and Portsmouth the best price is just shy of
Speaker 1: elevens on that little twelve thirty trouble.
Speaker 2: The only one I'm wary of. Actually, I'm weary of
Speaker 2: both blades and bern Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well doesn't lie.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm going for Millwall. Of the kind of
Speaker 2: team that, despite what Jonathan would get said that time
Speaker 2: so defensively compact, I could see that be a.
Speaker 3: Nil nil with something speak QPR and said, I don't
Speaker 3: want to I don't want Oh my god, that that
Speaker 3: that's that.
Speaker 1: This isn't the main actor. This is is your starter.
Speaker 1: She's your starter, you know, this is.
Speaker 3: Your little uh your I am bread for the table.
Speaker 2: This is your Coubert. Only call it Europe when you
Speaker 2: get the bread to get the oliops.
Speaker 1: But Hubert restaurants, mate, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know any European bears. Mate. We're building a Champ
Speaker 3: backed up.
Speaker 2: Couvert with the and the Cheferd's like a Portsmouth.
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's Shi of Elevans and I actually get
Speaker 1: on with the main.
Speaker 3: Who like it. It's easy to get lost in the permutations,
Speaker 3: but two point three about the side. It would have
Speaker 3: probably gone up second most normal seasons. Maybe yeah, and
Speaker 3: Burnley again and with Jake like it's a bit uncomfortable,
Speaker 3: but it's not the main OCA and it's silly price.
Speaker 1: It's just the starters, just the Europe that comes out.
Speaker 1: You know, this is all that is. Actually you want
Speaker 1: Permontation chefolds right as well? How many times as well
Speaker 1: they've banged on about ninety points and breaking their championship records,
Speaker 1: banging on and on and on and on and on
Speaker 1: about it. He desperately wants to do.
Speaker 2: We'll get it in.
Speaker 1: Should we take that as the twelve thirty and get
Speaker 1: onto the three pms?
Speaker 2: The only other game we've not really took on. You
Speaker 2: talked about West Brom but the team that they're playing, Luton,
Speaker 2: they're they've literally come back from the dead, like they
Speaker 2: were written off bottom of the table. I have six
Speaker 2: games ago. Fair play to the gaffer.
Speaker 1: He's got a really good always said weeks ago that
Speaker 1: a couple of not actually a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, not that long ago, that it
Speaker 1: looked like time had run out. They've just left it
Speaker 1: a little bit too late, and how wrong we were
Speaker 1: based on this turnaround phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Six six wins in the last eleven looked really good.
Speaker 2: Three wins in an unbeaten last four away games as well,
Speaker 2: all against teams and around them. So they've all been
Speaker 2: competitive games against teams that with like high stakes, high pressure.
Speaker 2: They've come through that. Now they get to go to
Speaker 2: West Brom who've just been shipped for two months.
Speaker 3: Pretty yeah. But the thing is with this game again.
Speaker 2: The prices you can't back.
Speaker 1: I want to get building the main I.
Speaker 3: Just want to say this because again there's a world
Speaker 3: where Bristol City probably two three goals to that at pressed.
Speaker 3: There is there is though in.
Speaker 2: All right, yah, Portsmouth a beaaten hole.
Speaker 3: Yeah so yeah, yeah, if one of the teams above them,
Speaker 3: like Preston and losing comfortably a point, does loot and
Speaker 3: done it. Yeah, and everyone knows, the bench all knows,
Speaker 3: and you know what I mean. It's just a bit
Speaker 3: of a messy place to get.
Speaker 1: Man man with his portaball radio in the stands. Just
Speaker 1: it's a shame that actually we won't get any drama
Speaker 1: of miscommunicated schoore lines anymore, will we? Just not a
Speaker 1: thing now with the modern technology.
Speaker 2: Well well though in football stadium you don't get a
Speaker 2: very good phone to Alida.
Speaker 1: No no idea. I had no idea how the other
Speaker 1: week when I was at least preston. How anyone knew
Speaker 1: that Sheffield's not gone too one down? They found this out?
Speaker 2: We have TVs in the concourse.
Speaker 1: I've just got my loading screen on the score PERPPS.
Speaker 1: So what's going on here?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Should turn that trouble and lock it up and then
Speaker 1: a bonus twelve thirty aka. Then for the early championship games,
Speaker 1: we're taking Burnley to beat Millwall Sheffield you like to
Speaker 1: beat Blackburn and Portsmouth to get the better off whole.
Speaker 1: This is there as we said there. Sorry, those three
Speaker 1: teams just shy of eleven to one onto the three
Speaker 1: pm games. Then we've already said we're looking all the
Speaker 1: Premier League because who cares about that? League one and
Speaker 1: League two fascinating particularly in League two. How this is
Speaker 1: going to play out? Take us away? Where do we
Speaker 1: want to go?
Speaker 3: So we do quick going through League one?
Speaker 1: Go on the okay, do you want to start well?
Speaker 3: Relegation is done automatic PROMOCHI has done. It's really about
Speaker 3: the battle for six spoties and it is.
Speaker 1: Indeed it's a straight shoot up between Laighton Orient and
Speaker 1: reading Leton orit have the advantage on goal difference. Do
Speaker 1: we want to talk about those teams? Because Layton Orient
Speaker 1: at ten to eleven to beat Huddersfield Side, who, how
Speaker 1: do we diplomatically put this? Have fucked it really lean
Speaker 1: or in very good when they beat Wickham last week.
Speaker 1: I any Lene Orion fans, I've not noticed and I
Speaker 1: don't know how I've not noticed this before because it
Speaker 1: was on one of the corners. But there's like a
Speaker 1: bench people sit on there, like like a dugout bench
Speaker 1: and it's just on the corner and there's just fans
Speaker 1: sat there the ip seats or I don't know, pitch
Speaker 1: side they help like in the in America where they
Speaker 1: have the hot tubs on the side. Is it's similar
Speaker 1: to that, but without the hot tub, which is just
Speaker 1: a bench. Don't they just sat there like any corner
Speaker 1: They're like they are again they hell, they're really close
Speaker 1: to the pitch as well. But later ten to eleven
Speaker 1: to beat Hoddersfield Side, who Jesus Christ. I think that
Speaker 1: they will be looking forward to this game, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure their fans will be looking forward to this game
Speaker 1: in that there will be a full time whistle to
Speaker 1: this game and they don't have to worry about Huddersfield
Speaker 1: Town again. Of a few months because their season really
Speaker 1: has tailed off. Collapsed, Yeah, utterly collapsed. The last fifty
Speaker 1: eight games, they've lost eleven times and they picked up
Speaker 1: the fourth fewest points in the entire division. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Gone from being in the top six to playing like
Speaker 2: a relegation team. Quite clearly down tools. I'm all over
Speaker 2: this orient winning in massive carrot dangle in front of
Speaker 2: them doing great form. Won five of five straight, seven
Speaker 2: the last nine away from our own. Four wins in
Speaker 2: the last five. On the defeat comeing against Burton who
Speaker 2: were research and.
Speaker 1: Research and kicked back in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I quite like this at the price. I think
Speaker 2: this is a This is a team in the ascendency
Speaker 2: against a team that just don't give a ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you both made a strong gaze straight I will look.
Speaker 2: Bit a little bit price again, aren't you like?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Just adds on later on, I thought it would
Speaker 3: be short, to be really genuinely, it'd be sure.
Speaker 1: Really look at the prices around this weekend and the
Speaker 1: overreaction to circumstances and permutations, and then you're saying that,
Speaker 1: I mean you look at some of that. You've got
Speaker 1: teams who need to win to stay up, are like
Speaker 1: short prices to win like whole away at Portsmouth for
Speaker 1: five to four, just about the fact they've been poor
Speaker 1: all season and Portsmouth, as we discussed, are just good
Speaker 1: and turn things around. But that's I mean, that's the
Speaker 1: general pricing of this weekend and.
Speaker 2: Are actually good and Huddess feel.
Speaker 1: So I thought, that's what I mean. You're getting our
Speaker 1: team who are in the playoffs but high on confidence
Speaker 1: in good form, have to winter then secure the off spot.
Speaker 1: Go to a team who was just on a ridiculous
Speaker 1: losing kind of run and have really just stumbled towards
Speaker 1: the end of the season. That's what I thought. It
Speaker 1: would actually be shorter than ten to eleven when you
Speaker 1: think of the general pricing of the card.
Speaker 3: You guys are really enthusiastic, But may I in reading
Speaker 3: seven to tending Barnsley sold out in the day's game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so top six, No, he's good, Wing, he's good.
Speaker 3: Who's the guy, Nibs, He's good.
Speaker 1: I'll be NIBBs, keep going yet play Yeah, and one
Speaker 1: potentially down. It was it was the Barnsley angle, which
Speaker 1: I was hoping that you'd give us some insight on,
Speaker 1: but then you bought it to the table.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with Barnley.
Speaker 1: Well, having declared last week, we should just take Barncy
Speaker 1: to be Shrewsbury because if if Barnsley can score, they'll
Speaker 1: score two scoring to one. So well done.
Speaker 2: Swerved by us. Yeah, I like I like this. The
Speaker 2: it's just worth mentioning as well. Some of these prices
Speaker 2: are already moving for the teams that need to win.
Speaker 2: So Reading were three to four into seven to ten,
Speaker 2: that's they were only going to get shorter. Orient were
Speaker 2: evens into ten to eleven. I think they're going to
Speaker 2: go off shorter. I yeah, it's not rocket sciences it
Speaker 2: Barnsy have checked out lost seven the last ten away
Speaker 2: games as well. They were so good away from home
Speaker 2: for so long, but that's seeming they've fallen off a cliff.
Speaker 2: Reading a strong home team that need to win, and
Speaker 2: need to win by a wide margin as well, because
Speaker 2: there's every chance Orient beat Huddersfield. They might need a
Speaker 2: six nil win, which we've seen Barnsey concede. Was it
Speaker 2: six at Birmingham five at Birmingham?
Speaker 3: Ten? Ten?
Speaker 1: Get any lad on the yellow card, run at him,
Speaker 1: run at him.
Speaker 2: You just never never know in this game, he might
Speaker 2: really not like Leyton, Orient might want to fuck them.
Speaker 2: I was about to say this, if you need an
Speaker 2: eight goal swing ready in eight nil win it is,
Speaker 2: there's you eight nil for the college.
Speaker 1: If you're a opposition player and nothing to play for
Speaker 1: and you go to play at the place like this,
Speaker 1: E more up for it just to be a bit
Speaker 1: of a dickhead. Do you think any go well, if
Speaker 1: we can't be happy, they can't be happy. I'm not
Speaker 1: having this or sick of it.
Speaker 3: Maybe Richie Wellens has done something to piece off the
Speaker 3: Barns he plays. Maybe there's a few lads in there
Speaker 3: who ate Richie Wellens. I don't know. Maybe so eat
Speaker 3: lads we ate we ate Wellings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, suggested to spend your entire pretty much press conference
Speaker 1: talking nothing on Hoddersfield later or it you just go
Speaker 1: slag barnsing off the entire half hour saying that they're
Speaker 1: the worst team I've ever seen, There're a disgrace, What
Speaker 1: was going on us? What the hell's going on here?
Speaker 1: And they get really angry and then only afterwards they.
Speaker 2: Go and I know it's not exactly Yeah it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not too comparable, but only a few years ago
Speaker 2: Bristol Rovers needed to win seven and needed to win
Speaker 2: by seven to go up and they beat Scumfe seven nil,
Speaker 2: so that these kind of things can happen fell tho
Speaker 2: Scumfort went down, they were down in the bottom.
Speaker 1: Well have you seen Northampton on Twitter? Did the whole
Speaker 1: see when Bristol Rovers got relegated as a legacy thing
Speaker 1: from that, Northampton, I believe, weren't happy at this team
Speaker 1: selection of Bristol Rose's opponents in that seven zero game
Speaker 1: because they were the one that it costs and promotion.
Speaker 2: In mind for this all the lateran and everyone of
Speaker 2: the replies.
Speaker 1: Going nor this about they've just studied, you know, following
Speaker 1: results elsewhere. They've drawn one game in the last ten
Speaker 1: or something, they've lost nine, so technically following results elsewhere.
Speaker 1: But it was your own doing. We've been relegated to
Speaker 1: sky Bet League two and then Northampton are just Cory
Speaker 1: going see yeah, yeah, unlucky.
Speaker 2: Like I love pettiness.
Speaker 3: I think it's a bit classless.
Speaker 1: It's a bit classless.
Speaker 3: I think it's affecting rivalries, it's affecting real life humans
Speaker 3: at Bristol Rose.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a point you've got to move on.
Speaker 1: If it was like last season and you got I'd
Speaker 1: go all right, okay, I can kind of get it.
Speaker 1: We've been screwed over off with that. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know fine, but yeah it does happen. And Joey Barn's
Speaker 1: up to these days. They came with the gap from
Speaker 1: what you get involved. Well, wonder what he's up to.
Speaker 1: So we talk about reading. We spoke about Laighton orient
Speaker 1: Charlton to beat Burton was another game I thought about,
Speaker 1: particularly with Burton's safe this price has shortened. I did
Speaker 1: look on Tuesday where Charlton was seventeen to twenty. Stupidly
Speaker 1: did they assume that Burton would have something to play
Speaker 1: for goal difference. It ain't happening, all right, that they
Speaker 1: ain't gonna go down Charlton. I mean, ultimately they are
Speaker 1: still playing for seeding if they can get a positive
Speaker 1: result here. It is actually quite big to finish fourth
Speaker 1: instead of fifth, because then you get the second leg
Speaker 1: at home, which has a significant advantage. And it's the
Speaker 1: nature of that defeat at Wrexham as well, the disappointment
Speaker 1: of that, that kind of the need to bounce back
Speaker 1: is there with Charlton so I think again kind of
Speaker 1: home game. As good as Burton had been, there's still
Speaker 1: been defeats in there, and Charlton just fantastic at home season,
Speaker 1: yeah one, so they'd be one that jumps out in
Speaker 1: that League one card.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, this is the thing, right because assuming chart
Speaker 3: and win odds On to do, they'll go to eighty
Speaker 3: five points. They need to win by six goals and
Speaker 3: need Stockport to draw at Wickham and then they could
Speaker 3: even finish third. I think Wickham and Stockport are both
Speaker 3: want to avoid playing Charlton, so it puts importance on
Speaker 3: that game because them to a playing each other. But
Speaker 3: I think it's extremely realistic for Stockport to draw at Wickham,
Speaker 3: Charton to win and then Charlton play Wickham's second leg
Speaker 3: at home in the playoffs. So I think there's enough
Speaker 3: motivation to get Charlton on side one hundred.
Speaker 1: I mean I would have Stockport to beat Wickham.
Speaker 3: I would as well.
Speaker 1: About that price, Yeah, it's massive. I'm not convinced on
Speaker 1: Dods still.
Speaker 3: Oh while, and.
Speaker 1: You look at the nature of those defeats. You know
Speaker 1: the teams who they who they lost to, They're all
Speaker 1: teams in that top six aren't they mean?
Speaker 3: May I interest you since my dad's took charge at
Speaker 3: Adams Park twenty five points from sixteen games about eight Yeah,
Speaker 3: crucially against the top seven. And I've done the top
Speaker 3: seven because they cut a drift from do you know
Speaker 3: what I mean from the other ones? Yeah, played five times,
Speaker 3: not scored a goal, lost eight nil and aggregate ship
Speaker 3: that's honking. The worst one was the chart and four
Speaker 3: nil and everyone at Wicked was furious with the team
Speaker 3: selection because he changed his system and was like reactive
Speaker 3: to what he expected Charling to do just rolled them over.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think he easy equipped enough
Speaker 3: to do it. They will only he.
Speaker 1: Stopped scoring Orient. I think it was such a dull
Speaker 1: game that they didn't. Nothing really happened, to be honest,
Speaker 1: and then the outcome was ultimately fair on them losing
Speaker 1: that one. But again, that's another one that they've lost.
Speaker 1: And it's the fact that it's recent as well, these games.
Speaker 1: It's not like we're talking all when back in February
Speaker 1: and now he's sawed out and stuff like that. These
Speaker 1: been games over the past couple of weeks. Yeah, thirteen
Speaker 1: to five of the price on Stockport there.
Speaker 3: But Stockport, on the other hand, absolutely flying. I think
Speaker 3: they won five of the last six. They've only lost
Speaker 3: twice since they were knocked out the FA Cup against
Speaker 3: Palace in mid January, one of the majority of those games.
Speaker 3: Since it's they are in an impressive run. I know
Speaker 3: they come from behind the last two, which depends on
Speaker 3: which way you look at it could be either good
Speaker 3: or bad. Could it really shouldn't be going behind.
Speaker 2: The firepower off the bench, the subs are coming on
Speaker 2: and the drill for them.
Speaker 3: But the main thing about that price war Stockport recently lost.
Speaker 3: Did they lose at Wrexham? Did they get a result
Speaker 3: at Wrexham? I can't remember. That might have been one
Speaker 3: of their defeats. I can't remember.
Speaker 1: A quick look while you're chatting away.
Speaker 3: Stockport were five to two to win that game, and
Speaker 3: as the table shows, Rexman had proved to be a
Speaker 3: much better side than Wickham over the course of the season.
Speaker 3: And they're not even in the same conversation.
Speaker 1: One at Wrexham on the twenty second amount. Yeah, shorter
Speaker 1: price then though it's been six wins on the draw.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're actually drifted. Since I did my notes yesterday
Speaker 3: to thirty to five now, but why they were They
Speaker 3: shouldn't even be the same. Prices up at Wrexham.
Speaker 2: Because we had Wrexham to beat Wickham. At Wickham in
Speaker 2: the act of a couple of weeks get only one
Speaker 2: one nil and they were three.
Speaker 3: To one.
Speaker 1: League two. I said, you want to kind of clump
Speaker 1: these together a lot in the area for clarity, the
Speaker 1: ones who put up in League One, then the fancy
Speaker 1: Stockport to beat Wickham at that big Prices said they're
Speaker 1: Charlton to beat Burton Leyton, Orient's beat Uddersfield and Reading
Speaker 1: to beat Barnsley. I would also mention Birmingham Bridge their tea,
Speaker 1: I mean fair place of people on TikTok so we
Speaker 1: here to right. But one hundred and eight points the
Speaker 1: most points in a single EFL season. They've still got
Speaker 1: game to go, one hundred and eleven. The potential absolutely remarkable.
Speaker 2: Last night yeah ah that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they won last night.
Speaker 2: They could break the record.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've already broke the record.
Speaker 1: Absolutely remarkable, one hundred and eight points on for one
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven. I mean well equipped for the championship
Speaker 1: as well, not just from.
Speaker 2: GAB as well, because Gabs that here and said that they're
Speaker 2: going to pistol League right at the very start of
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 3: Couldn't five to two.
Speaker 2: I think someone over here has said rather than we're
Speaker 2: going to win that they picked up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that age brilliantly fine wine. I just didn't.
Speaker 3: I just hated the fact that there was so I
Speaker 3: were desperate for to get something.
Speaker 1: It's an English British thing too, and if anyone was
Speaker 1: back for success and want them chinned exactly what, I
Speaker 1: know nothing against them personally, could be anyone in the
Speaker 1: world to go fuck hope they lose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the only league too really that the preseason
Speaker 2: favorite to nowhere near.
Speaker 1: The picture of Don's woo what a season they had
Speaker 1: and the screwd mind has got a lot of people
Speaker 1: I've supposed to be a lot of people as you
Speaker 1: would fancay MK Dons and Williamson to bounce back from
Speaker 1: that playoff disappointment. So as I said the Stockport, Charlton, Leyton,
Speaker 1: Orient reading Birmingham, the League one fancies will build the
Speaker 1: actual final Acca just after discussing the league two games,
Speaker 1: which again are all at three pm. As we said,
Speaker 1: so many permittations. It's so good john Caster Port Vail.
Speaker 1: Congratulations them are already promoted. Finally someone went maybe we
Speaker 1: should take this opportunity and actually get fucking promoted here.
Speaker 1: Playoff are still to be decided, but there is a
Speaker 1: huge game. Grimmersby played Wimbledon both for seven to four.
Speaker 1: If Grimsby win that they leap frog Wimbledon potentially knock
Speaker 1: Wimbledon out of the playoffs, depending how Salford do it
Speaker 1: and now relegated Carlyle Bradford Jesus Christ, take an opportunity, lads,
Speaker 1: why don't you win? Want to to to beat Fleetwood?
Speaker 1: Sellout crowd at Valley barraide I believe it's did I
Speaker 1: read that it's gonna be their league record attendance, which
Speaker 1: is massive for them. So hopefully they actually do take
Speaker 1: that opportunity and get promoted.
Speaker 2: If they lose, then Notts County or Warsaw can go
Speaker 2: apt Tomaw Well. To be honest, yeah, you imagine if
Speaker 2: after all this time they just rope a do they
Speaker 2: just actually sneak up just win the last day.
Speaker 1: You're worried about We've done it so so much to
Speaker 1: play for. Genuinely so excited for this as League two
Speaker 1: has been and we've said at home to it is
Speaker 1: the best league going, particularly this season.
Speaker 2: It's the best league for where but for for betting purpose.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my Greency it is absolutely hated it at the
Speaker 1: moment this is hell.
Speaker 3: But where do we want to go here? I mean
Speaker 3: there's there's a few that jump out nowhere. I didn't
Speaker 3: have anyone for this game.
Speaker 1: Well to beat Jillingham for to six, Well the fingers
Speaker 1: with Jillingham.
Speaker 2: Gillingham your manager Dingers.
Speaker 1: Another club by the way that I believe they've got
Speaker 1: to sell out Port. They've had to get safety certificates
Speaker 1: of stuff to open a part of the stadium they
Speaker 1: couldn't before, or something to people in. So fantastic to
Speaker 1: see the amount of people are engaging with clubs. I
Speaker 1: know it's easy to when you're successful, but still they're
Speaker 1: doing it a big crowd expecting a title four to
Speaker 1: six portval.
Speaker 3: Is it ainsworth? No Jillingham he left in eleven A
Speaker 3: lot of draws. But someone got into that Shrewsbury and
Speaker 3: then look what happened? They collapsed again he did They
Speaker 3: went on a good bet a bob.
Speaker 2: I thought they'd stay up.
Speaker 3: Idiot, idiot, someone got into a few weeks ago on
Speaker 3: the YouTube comment saying feel good factory around Jillingham, since
Speaker 3: would come in a top of the notch top of
Speaker 3: the map is a to move house presumably not. I
Speaker 3: don't know what it's moved ash living situation in Wickham's
Speaker 3: there Jilligan.
Speaker 1: Don't really know the map just down there and I.
Speaker 3: Could see a world where Bradford, Walsall and County all lose.
Speaker 1: Subjectively the funniest out is hilarious. That would that would
Speaker 1: sum up League two perfectly.
Speaker 3: I think it's the end of it.
Speaker 1: That everyone loses just stays as Yeah, it's the end.
Speaker 3: That the the league deserves, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the trouble?
Speaker 3: Just calculating But I don't.
Speaker 2: Know two three to one and we're not sky playing well.
Speaker 3: Actually that's a good point because Donnie is seven to
Speaker 3: four in pursuit of a title. Notts County. Their fans
Speaker 3: aren't been happy for a while out they're playing. Are
Speaker 3: they going to limp into the playoffs? Donnie's record against
Speaker 3: the best teams in the division was bad, but they
Speaker 3: won the last three on the spin, two massive wins
Speaker 3: over the Easter weekend street unbelievable. Did they get him
Speaker 3: in January? He's on ten goals now or he's in
Speaker 3: double figures. Luke Mullin, you just when you think he
Speaker 3: can't get any better, he is better get better. So potentially, Donnie,
Speaker 3: but I just I just looked at the two him
Speaker 3: went nope, you're.
Speaker 2: Going to have that seventy to one treble, aren't you?
Speaker 3: The one?
Speaker 1: I did? I up and again I'm back to my mantra.
Speaker 1: Just because they need to win means that they don't
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that they will. Barrow to beat Colchester is
Speaker 1: my upset of the weekend.
Speaker 3: Barrow are brilliant Arrow.
Speaker 1: Since Andy Wing came in it, you mentioned that the
Speaker 1: week didn't you their form and kind of their upturn.
Speaker 1: Colchester opposed them last week against Salford because of availability
Speaker 1: issues and the significance of those availability issues that they have.
Speaker 1: Lyle Taylor top scorer, he's out for the season, a
Speaker 1: few of us as well. I think Jamie McDonnell, brilliant
Speaker 1: midfielder on loan from Forrest, his season is done. Harry
Speaker 1: Anderson winger out. It just feels like it's really happened
Speaker 1: at such a bad time for them that it has
Speaker 1: then ultimately damaged their playoff potential, and then even if
Speaker 1: they get in, what is the knock on effects of
Speaker 1: that Barrow six game unbeaten run. They've lost just one
Speaker 1: of the last twelve. They have drawn a lot, but
Speaker 1: it's a significant improvement since Andy Wing arrived in January?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 3: It's just a.
Speaker 1: Price thing for me of And is there also a
Speaker 1: point as well where Colchester to get desperate if sulfed
Speaker 1: a drawing, if you know Grimsby a drawing or so
Speaker 1: is there chest you know, is there a desperation that
Speaker 1: comes in? And I should have looked this up, but
Speaker 1: I do wonder how many teams get chinned in the
Speaker 1: final five minutes of games when they have to win
Speaker 1: because they're so desperately pushing forward and they've got four
Speaker 1: strikers on the pitch and one center back, and all
Speaker 1: it takes is a break, a fast break of three
Speaker 1: on one and suddenly the opposition of taking it and one.
Speaker 1: Because it feels like watching games in recent years this
Speaker 1: has happened. It does You're like, yeah, that, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't mind that sort of thing that does happen. And
Speaker 1: I don't know why I could.
Speaker 4: Just just the circumstances aren't in Colchester's favor, but they
Speaker 4: could be a point in the game where they are
Speaker 4: particularly late on that they get desperation kicks in a
Speaker 4: little bit and against the team who have been good
Speaker 4: at like four to one.
Speaker 3: Ish I was gonna have a little go and having
Speaker 3: my column. But to have a go on on Barrow
Speaker 3: I like it. It makes a lot of sense, but
Speaker 3: maybe it's not one for the Acker.
Speaker 1: Why why isn't it one for the Acker? Why don't
Speaker 1: we just go for all the big price teams only
Speaker 1: just to Stockport Barrow, Bradford Wood against Bradford just have
Speaker 1: a great time.
Speaker 2: We could, we could, we could ask them to price
Speaker 2: it up, just do all the crew to be whoever
Speaker 2: they're playing. Also also don Paster beet Knots County Fleet
Speaker 2: would to beat Bradford and just go for the League
Speaker 2: two has been unpredictable.
Speaker 1: I think the potential aka all season long way that
Speaker 1: we've spoken about and.
Speaker 2: Just League one in't it well.
Speaker 1: We've done well to avoid lead too large because as
Speaker 1: it's shown, it's a hell of a league and it's
Speaker 1: phenomenal to watch, but it's it's terrible for betting.
Speaker 3: Almost isn't it.
Speaker 1: But you could potentially do an acre of Stockport because
Speaker 1: of a price. We could put Charlton to beat Burton
Speaker 1: because we fancied them, Leighton, Orient A, Huddersfield and Reading
Speaker 1: at Barnsley, and you'd get above sixteen to one on
Speaker 1: those four teams.
Speaker 3: Is that without Birmingham?
Speaker 2: That's yeah, Birmingham take it to twenty seven twenty Seven's
Speaker 2: just look at his face?
Speaker 3: And then what about Barrow as well?
Speaker 1: If we had Barrow in? But if he popped Barrow
Speaker 1: in thirty to what But if we wanted to have
Speaker 1: you know, the final acha of the season being the
Speaker 1: fivefold of those five teams who have been good all campaign,
Speaker 1: just shy of twenty eight twenty six's were most places
Speaker 1: those five and then obviously plus our championship backer that
Speaker 1: we did a little earlier.
Speaker 3: I know it's a terrible way to think, but it's
Speaker 3: the way I operate. So two points, two points on
Speaker 3: the line, we've already guaranteed more points profit than last season. Correct, correct?
Speaker 1: Forty six last season on forty eight and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're guaranteed though, Yeah, yeah, I would just do the
Speaker 1: hundred thing. It's a great time I.
Speaker 3: Think let her hair down? Do the five teams?
Speaker 1: Should you take those five in League one?
Speaker 3: While you just think about it?
Speaker 1: What about combining the two actors?
Speaker 3: What about if we took him barrow? You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, who.
Speaker 3: Just think about it for one second?
Speaker 1: What are you trying to say? You told me three
Speaker 1: times to think about it. I don't want to think.
Speaker 3: Just get Just give yourself a minute to think about it,
Speaker 3: because I don't want you to leave the studio and
Speaker 3: be like, we shouldn't have done that. I know you
Speaker 3: don't care as soon as we leave, as soon as
Speaker 3: you get up off that day.
Speaker 1: I've never watched this back, never, never. I can't remember
Speaker 1: a thing we say on these things.
Speaker 3: Just interested today, like the fight because.
Speaker 1: I had all five down, so ultimately I'm happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too?
Speaker 4: Me?
Speaker 2: Three? Have you other?
Speaker 1: This week's acker? Then the proper aka shall we call it?
Speaker 1: In fact? No, Like any good restaurant, you get your
Speaker 1: starters on the menu first, don't you. So let's do
Speaker 1: the starter one from the championship at twelve thirty taken
Speaker 1: European Bear.
Speaker 2: Apparently the only one that knows what that is.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to find out what the hell this
Speaker 1: is after there. I'm gonna google it rightole it while
Speaker 1: I'm summing up for us. Then the Championship act we're
Speaker 1: taking at twelve thirty. We've got Burnley to beat Millwall,
Speaker 1: was it? We've got Sheffield United is to beat Blackburn,
Speaker 1: and then we have Portsmouth too beat Whole and then
Speaker 1: at three pm the main act of the normal three
Speaker 1: pm Stockport to beat Wickham. It's Charlton to beat Burton, Leyton,
Speaker 1: Orient to beat Huddersfield, Ready to beat Palsley, and Birmingham
Speaker 1: to beat Cambridge. That's fivefold, just shy of twenty eight
Speaker 1: to one. And as we say every single week, run
Speaker 1: to keep it fun, never bet moy cond forward and
Speaker 1: please gamble responsibly. The playoffs are coming, of course, aren't they.
Speaker 1: We will have an episode looking forward to all Things Playoffs.
Speaker 1: I believe we're recording that on Tuesday, after the bank holiday,
Speaker 1: so that might be out a little bit earlier, so
Speaker 1: make sure that you check the channel and the only
Speaker 1: way to do that is to subscribe to ensure that

Speaker 1: acres at hopefully a nice little enhanced price. We'll be
Speaker 1: back for a playoff preview, hopefully on the back of
Speaker 1: two nice winners.
Speaker 2: Wait to see, don't forget. If you want to put
Speaker 2: them together, get an eightfold A great time. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what a way, What a way to go out of
Speaker 2: a bank, zero from eight. We'll be back on Tuesday.
