Week 34 results
BURNLEY 1 BRISTOL CITY 0
Zian Flemming's exquisite free-kick was enough to secure victory for Burnley, and give them a 21st clean sheet in 26 unbeaten games, as City only have a mere one shot on target. Only mfb_cufc and ghughes11 got this spot-on, and a further 17 had the outcome.
LEEDS UNITED 2 SWANSEA CITY 2
Leeds automatic promotion hopes suffered another blow as Zan Vipotnik's 96th-minute goal earned Swansea draw on a dramatic afternoon that had earlier seen Leeds take the lead after 35 seconds. No points for anyone from this game, as everyone predicted a win for Leeds, with a massive 14 going for a 2-0 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
BIRMINGHAM CITY 4 SHREWSBURY TOWN 1
Runaway leaders Birmingham edged a step closer to automatic promotion with a comfortable win in Michael Appleton's first game in charge of Shrewsbury, as he saw them score with their only shot on target. Well done to Madeira163 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and a another 21 had the outcome.
READING 3 PETERBOROUGH UNITED 1
Reading extended their unbeaten League One run to 11 games as they breezed past Peterborough, whose goal was scored bu ex-Us Poku. Nobody had this spot-on, but 14 did get the outcome.
BARROW 0 CHESTERFIELD 1
Substitute Michael Jacobs earned Chesterfield a first League Two victory at Holker Street for 60 years, with their only shot on target, to end rejuvenated Barrow's five-match unbeaten run. Only noah4x4 and BFG got this spot-on, and further 3 had the outcome.
HARROGATE TOWN 1 GILLINGHAM 1
It was a tale of two penalties at Wetherby Road, with Josh March opening the scoring for Harrogate from the spot and Max Clark equalising from 12 yards, as Gareth Ainsworth's tenure as Gillingham manager began with a point. 3 had this spot-on, and 3 also had the outcome.
NEWPORT COUNTY 0 NOTTS COUNTY 2
A goal in each half from Charlie Whitaker gave Notts County a victory to boost their League Two promotion hopes. Nobody got this spot-on, though 11 did have the outcome.
It was another, in what is now becoming familiar, slow burner week, with not a lot happening in the first-half of games, and then building up to crescendo with late goals putting a different complexion to the weeks results. At half-time amazingly six teams were winning 1-0, with the other game goalless. Late goals made a big change to two fixtures. Birmingham were heading for a 3-0 victory, that would have given seven members a 3 pointer, when a goal from each in the 86th and 87th minutes, put paid to that. Leeds scored in the 86th minute to regain the lead, only for Swansea to equalise again in the 96th minute, to take points off everyone. In the end it turned out to be another tough week for 3 pointers, with only 8 in total. At least the 69 outcomes made sure everyone put some points on the board. Those 3 pointers were shared out with eight members getting one each, with the top performance coming from BFG, who had that Chesterfield 1-0 , and was the only one to get four outcomes, to give him a decent 7 points. A special mention for burnsieespana and Lewis_1 for both getting a good five outcomes.
In the Premier Having that Burnley 1-0 spot-on, and two outcomes, was enough for mfb_cufc to remain top, but his lead was cut by a point as blueeagle got the Harrogate 1-1 spot-on, and three outcomes. Also having that Harrogate 1-1 spot-on was unitedwhites, as he stays in contention for a top two finish. The only other 3 pointer in this division came from ghughes11 with that Burnley 1-0, as he continues to improve his chances of avoiding the drop. It is that relegation zone where this weeks only change takes place, with those good outcomes from burnsieespana moving up a place, and out of the bottom three once again, where he is replaced by Sector4.
In Division One Three outcomes for bwildered were enough for him to take his run at the top to ten weeks. The decent week for noah4x4, thanks to having that Chesterfield 1-0 spot-on, moved him up a place, and back into the other automatic spot again, after six weeks away. Three outcomes for Jorash63 means he drops to third, after spending six weeks in the automatics. but only on the most 3 pointer rule from Lewis_1, who closed up after his good outcomes. Four outcomes for Tropical_Us moved him up a place to fifth. A case of after the Lord Mayor's show for Moor_Pinot, who followed last weeks brilliant performance, with just the one outcome this week, but it was still enough for him to be in the final play-off place. The top scoring performance from BFG moved him up a couple of places to seventh, and just to within a point of the top six. Four outcomes each for Blue4U2 and wessex_exile, keeps them in contention for the play-offs, just 4 points away. An unfortunate missed week for durham_exile, means he suddenly has a lot to do if he is to make the play-offs, with only 36 games left to the season.

All in all, an okay set of results if I'm honest. Notts County and Donny won, Walsall, Bradford and AFC Wimbledon all drew and Crewe lost to keep us in 8th place with a marginally superior goal difference. Salford, Chesterfield and Fleetwood refuse to give up on their fading hopes, and all won. Salford have a game in hand, which might add to the significance of our trip there at the end of April. |

Apologies Durham for the preemptive strike, but this really needs to be broadcasted as soon as possible. With still two days to go, the South Stand is completely sold out, and E5 through to E8, and W3 and W4 as well, are already close to a sell-out. If you haven't got your ticket, book as soon as possible!
Incredible support already, and with Grimsby reportedly bringing in the region of 500+ (according to their predictions) it looks like it's going to be a bumper crowd for the Friday night game.
Our best ever at the JobServe for a Friday night league game was 5,461 for John McGreal's March 2018 2-1 win over Luton Town. We look like we'll be challenging that on Friday. |

THE FINAL GROUPS (16 out of 16 played)
(Tie-break: Most 3 pointers only)
Only three outcomes from the 2nd leg fixtures for Daniel, but an excellent 1st leg ensured he tops the group. Late drama for the other qualifying place, as bwildered gets the Dortmund 2-1 spot-on to grab that spot. This means current holder blueeagle leaves at the first stage this year.
Modestly being clueless about Europe didn't stop noah4x4 from being the rounds top scorer, after he had both the Bayern results spot-on, and added the Villa 3-0 for good measure. He is joined in the Quarter-finals by unitedwhites, who just happened to be the rounds 2nd highest scorer, as he had the Dortmund 2-1 spot-on, to add to the earlier Inter Milan 2-1. A great effort from Jorash63 to get the wins for Dortmund and Villa spot-on, and unfortunate for him he would have qualified from any other group.
The tighest group of the four was eventually won by mfb_cufc thanks to getting the Atletico 1-0 spot-on in the final fixture. Five outcomes each for basher2010 and thrillseeker, and it is the former who maintained his one point advantage to qualify for the Quarter-finals.
With Tropical_Us failing to post any predictions, this group became a vitual bye for the other two. By having the Barcelona 3-1 spot-on Lewis_1 topped the group, with the highlight for Sector4 having the Real Madrid 2-1 spot-on from the 1st leg fixtures.
This how the two groups look for the Quarter-finals
Quarter-finals 1st leg Fixtures All kick-off at 20.00. No more than two predictions the same as fellow group members, and all fixtures to be predicted at the same time please.
08/04/2025 ARSENAL v REAL MADRID
08/04/2025 BAYERN MUNICH v INTER MILAN
09/04/2025 BARCELONA v BORUSSIA DORTMUND
09/04/2025 PARIS SAINT GERMAIN v ASTON VILLA
There is a quick turnaound for the 2nd leg fixtures, and they will be on a separate thread on Thursday 10th April.
Good luck everybody. |

My Seaweed supporting colleague just sent the following from their forum
Never want to see Goodliffe wearing our shirt again.
Hopper showed no goal scoring threat about him whatsoever.
Bonne added to his ever growing catalogue of glaring misses. Please god we don’t persist with him next year
Males me smile |
