Managers fighting to keep their jobs, Promotion scraps, relegations, dropping out of the League it can all happen as we wind down to the end of another season.

With very few games left, maybe now is the opportunity to those who've yet to play theirs, to get your Jokers in or, are you leaving it til the final day of the season? :rolleyes: Either way the choice is yours so good luck with it.

The top of the PL table is becoming very crammed indeed as we all scrap to secure the best position we can. Will anyone catch up with Glenn Miller before he plays his Joker? He's certainly looking strong from the position he holds.

Here we go all 3pm kick offs or later, choose wisely and good luck to all who enter ;D

Saturday 11th April

Brentford v Everton
Burnley v Brighton
Liverpool v Fulham
Aberdeen v Hibernian
Kilmarnock v Dundee
Leicester v Swansea
Blackpool v Peterborough
Cambridge v Notts County
Newport v Harrogate
Yeovil Town v Halifax Town

Nicked the idea from Paul Anka.
All credit to Paul Anka who wrote the song specifically for Frank Sinatra.

Just a snippet

The goals, we've had so few
But then again too few to mention
We did what we tried to do
And seen it through without much invention

We've cheered, we've raved and cried
We've had our share of losing
And now as sneers subside
We find it all so bemusing
To think we did all that
And may we say, not in a rye way
Oh, no, oh, no not us
We did it our way

The headlines at the time read like this......
Rotherham's strong form continued with a 3-0 win over Lincoln.

The Millers are now unbeaten in six league games and powering into the top half of the table following a slow start.......where did all that go? :blue:

Goals from Reece James, Ar'Jany Martha and Denzel Hall secured an easy win over the Imps.

I was surprised by some of the stories about one or two players and managers. But it wasn’t just in football that Breck shows himself to be a dedicated human being; he’s had to cope with some difficult personal stuff too.
