Nah, cant be anything like that as Burma tv 2 are showing a repeat of The Road to Mandalay so nobody would bother watching Leeds anyway (bit like in UK when its Leeds match or The Sound of Music again :lol: )

I’m the black parrot of bad luck if I watch the Mighty White play so I’ve taken to just finding out the score after the match. Statistically there’s more chance of a win this way

Having seen highlights of Leeds last home match it would seem that there are several thousand that agree with you :lol:

Don't the Rangers board think that Celtic have enough of an advantage already ???

GERRARD AT RANGERS?

Steven Gerrard is in talks to become the next Rangers manager, according to The Sun.

The former Liverpool midfielder is keen to take a role in management and is currently working with the Liverpool youth team.

Fulham 2 Sunderland 1
Fulham go back second, above Cardiff, by 2 points, but they have played a game more. It proved to be a harder game than suspected against the league's bottom side & they had to come back from being a goal behind.
1 game left for them now, but automatic promotion is out of their hands & depends on what Cardiff do in their last 2 games...

Today sees the mighty (let's all go to Burma :oops: ) whites locked in a battle for 12th place with Norwich. The outcome of today's game will go a long way to deciding who gets this prestigious spot. :lol:

Local footy: Both our local teams play tomorrow. 7th place, and draw specialists, Udon away at 3rd place Trat.
While top of the table Nongbua Pitchaya are home to Thai Honda.

MOT.

Norwich City 2 - 1 Leeds United
Milton Keynes Dons 0 - 2 Scunthorpe United
Cheltenham Town 1 - 6 Coventry City
Luton Town 3 - 1 Forest Green Rovers
Port Vale 1 - 2 Carlisle United
Macclesfield 2 - 0 Dag & Red
Dismal home thumping sums up Towns' season, 4 nil down by half time, even against some one going for the play offs, is not something the home fans delight in.
It will be interesting to see what changes are made at season end, probably little & the same again next year.. :(

UP THE IRON
Yes,indeed,the summers are roasting in Macclesfield.I had to move to Thailand for a cooler climate ! :^o
Macc were in the Football League before between 1997-2012 and reached League 1 for one season (1998/99) where they played the likes of Manchester City,Burnley,Bournemouth,Stoke and Fulham.
Macclesfield Town FC Conference champions.jpg
The big game in the Conference yesterday saw Sutton United beat Aldershot 2-1 to pip them for the last play off semi final spot.
Dover relegated Woking 2-1 but missed out on a play off spot on goal difference.Boreham Wood,with average gates of less than 500,also make the play offs.Barrow lost at home 2-1 to already relegated Chester but Wokings defeat means they survive for another season.
The four relegated teams are Woking,Torquay,Chester and Guiseley.

Team,Played,Points

1.Macclesfield 46 92 Champions :D

2.Tranmere 46 82 Play off semi finalist
3.Sutton United 46 79 Play off semi finalist

4.Boreham Wood 46 75 Play off quarter finalist
5.Aldershot 46 75 Play off quarter finalist
6.Ebbsfleet 46 74 Play off quarter finalist
7.AFC Fylde 46 73 Play off quarter finalist
Just when I thought our chance had passed,you go and save the best for last.

Chris Coleman: Sunderland manager leaves as club are taken over
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43941723
An "international consortium of football investors", led by Eastleigh chairman Stewart Donald, will take over Sunderland subject to EFL approval.
In a statement, Short said he had paid off all debts owed by the club, leaving them "debt free for the first time since years before" his takeover in 2008.

Sunderland had been listed in Uefa's annual report as having the 13th highest debt in Europe, more than clubs including Paris St-Germain, Porto and Newcastle.

So that's the hatrick then Bob .....

No Success

No Fans

No Debt

Might as well move the FRANCHISE to to the South Coast then


I blame zid and the silkmen for this ...... if Eastleigh had been promoted to the League this year the guy wouldn't be leaving them in the lurch .............. wonder how long it will be before he realises he cant buy success with Blunderland either :-$
