Fair play Swansea but that is sickening for Forest. A 96th minute goal being the one to knock you out the playoffs

Luton done really well managing to get out the relegation zone. Feel harsh on Wigan if they do get the points taken off them though.

Forest also conceded significant injury time goals against Sheffield Wednesday, Derby and Barnsley since the restart. This is a ridiculous turn of events, all told.

They were already out of the play-offs with the third goal + Routledge's stoppage time goal because of goals scored.

Playoffs predictions: 

Brentford vs. Swansea
Fulham vs. Cardiff

Swansea vs. Cardiff

A South Wales derby in the play-off final on my birthday has the potential to be the greatest or worst experience of my footballing life.

Fascinating stuff!   Feels particularly harsh on Wigan, though Luton and Barnsley played their arses off too.

Leeds have defended the decision to parade the Championship trophy on an open-top bus after arrests were made following title celebrations outside Elland Road on Wednesday.

There were similar scences after Liverpool’s match when Merseyside police arrested nine people for a variety of offences after an estimated 2,000-3,000 fans gathered outside Anfield to celebrate the club’s first league title ceremony for 30 years. The police also introduced a 48-hour dispersal zone around the stadium after fans ignored appeals to stay away due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Four people were arrested for public order offences and a police officer received minor injuries outside Elland Road, where thousands of Leeds fans also ignored social-distancing rules to celebrate their championship triumph. Unlike Liverpool, Leeds players appeared outside the stadium on an open-top bus after being presented with the title but the club insist that was to encourage fans to go home.

A Leeds spokesman said: “Following consultation with the SAG (Safety Advisory Group) and (Leeds City) Council, Leeds United arranged for a bus to be parked outside the East Stand reception as a contingency to assist dispersal should a crowd congregate at Elland Road, despite a month-long campaign from the club and supporter groups to encourage supporters to stay at home.

“The safety group believed that a brief appearance from the players with the Championship trophy would help to signal an end to proceedings, encouraging fans to head home safely.”

Liverpool staff, city council workers and volunteers cleared the mess left outside Anfield on Thursday. The city’s public health director, Matt Ashton, has arranged for a mobile testing site to be set up in nearby Stanley Park from Friday until Sunday for anyone experiencing symptoms of coronavirus.

The Merseyside police assistant chief constable, Natalie Perischine, said: “Officers made a total of nine arrests outside Anfield last night for affray, assault, people who were drunk and disorderly and drug-driving. The vast majority of the crowd were good-natured and had dispersed by 2am.

“Thankfully we didn’t see the sort of incidents of disorder and criminal damage we saw at the Pier Head on June 27, the investigation into which has seen more than 20 arrests made to date.

“Although the numbers who gathered last night could have been significantly higher, it is still disappointing that people did not listen to requests from ourselves, Liverpool football club and Liverpool city council not to gather in large numbers because of the risks still posed by Covid-19.”

That's a pretty flimsy excuse. I don't really mind them celebrating, because of course they're going to and it isn't as if government advice on these things is really very clear anymore, but don't come up with daft excuses for it like that.

Birmingham retiring Bellingham's shirt number is really, really lame as well.
