    Adkins was nearly in tears at the time. He left it all to the players.
    Congratulations to Burnley.

    Some of you might've seen something online this week.

    It was a Sheffield Wednesday fan, whose wheelchair-bound and ill father was in attendance for what is going to be his last ever football match. He is an Owls fan too.

    His dad had been an Owls fan since the 60s and held a season ticket for four decades. He asked if they as a club could do anything for his father.


    What happened? In the 12th minute, Hillsborough stood, united, to chant "There's Only One Johnny Eales!" and applauded the man.



    I just thought I should share that. It's a lovely touch.

    Reading at home to Boro tonight. A win and they are in pole position for the final play off spot.

    Burnley as the final game, hopefully for Nigel they won't bother turning up.

    Yes, but that's not fair on Jim Magilton; he's still there right?

    Will go to the last game though. Great viewing. Cant remember a season when there were so many things still to be decided with just two games to go.

    Eurgh the generic Football League website is horrid. Though the generic Women's Super League website runs it pretty close.

    I hope he plays next year. Really interested to see how he'll get on in the Premiership. I always thought he was pretty solid and could have done a job for us, not as first choice but maybe to help defend a lead.

    Stop Press! Lff, I'm coming down to have a pint with you. We agree :)

    Deano was undervalued rather than under rated. What he did for the team in that championship season was excellent when he played. I think he may have struggled at the next level but we'll not know unless the foxes stick with him. Sadly I think they won't.

    Blackpool's owner Karl Oyston is trying to sue Blackpool fans as a collective. According to reporters at the Blackpool Gazette.
