Championship Footie Live!
Right - it's time to pull our fingers out. The mighty LUFC have been making heavy weather of some relatively easy fixtures in the past month, so much so that we've allowed Forest, Burnley and even Hull think that they have a chance of pipping us for the last playoff spot. No mas. With three matches left, we need to start winning. First up - Palace away. They're struggling; we should put another nail into the coffin. Come on, you Whites!

From the top of the table:
* QPR are at home to Hull.
* Norwich are at home to Derby
* Cardiff are away to PNE
* Reading are home to Sheff Utd
* Forest are away to Bristol C.
* Burnley are home to Pompey
* Watford are away to Leicester
We need some help from those on the right side of those equations.
A bit of an MOT singalong right now.
Sheffield Utd. need to better Palace's result today. What a quandary!
Players coming out of the tunnel at Selhurst Park. Beautiful sunshiny day in London as it has been.
BUGGGGGGERRRRRR! We're already 1-0 down at Selhurst Park.
That goal will knock us back down to 66 points and to 8th with Burnley now leapfrogging us.
Peter Whittingham has put Cardiff in front. That will leap Cardiff over Norwich into second.
And now Forest have taken the lead at Bristol City. That will put them up to 69 points. It couldn't be going any worse for us, but early doors, eh?
Apparently Leeds have settled down and are starting to play our passing game, according to Merse.
Wayne Routledge has put QPR in front. They could be promoted today with a win.
Swansea are in the lead against the Tractor Boyz. That will have them level on points with Reading in 4th.
Bloody hell - Reading are in front now. That's them up to 76 points. Couldn't be worse.
Coventry are 0-1 up - don't care.
It does appear that we're bossing things at Selhurst Park but we need a couple of quick goals now.
Swansea are 2-0 up now. Well ensconced in 5th place now.
Ipswich have got a goal back at Swansea. 2-1 there.
Reading are 2-0 up over the Blades. Looking very bleak for them.
Paul Connelly has been booked for "unsporting behavior," whatever that is.
Preston North End could also be relegated today if Cardiff continue to lead.
Come on, you Whites! We need a goal!
Boro have equalized at the Riverside against Coventry. Don't care.
Now Andy O'Brien has been booked for "unsporting behavior." WTF!?
"Very quiet game," according to Merse. Don't like it. I hope he's proven wrong.
Sheffield United have pegged one back against Reading. 2-1.
What's happened to the goals for us?!
Swansea are now 3-1 up over Ipswich.
And now Watford have scored away to Leicester at the Walkers. This is rubbish!
The tubby Palace keeper is still keeping us out.
We've just weathered another Palace chance. Phew!
Penalty to Forest!
2-0 up! Oh dear.
Leicester have equalized but we've dropped down to 9th on the strength of Millwall's goal.
We're not going to get any help from other sides, so we need to score two or three goals quickly. We're capable of it - come on!
Watford now 1-2 up. Arghhh!
Merse sounds bored.
Sheffield United have equalized!! They're fighting for their lives.
Norwich have scored on the stroke of half-time. Back up to second place.
Scramble in the Palace box. Nearly. COME ON!
Half time at Selhurst Park. 1-0 Palace. We have to do better in the second half.
YIKES!!

Maybe it is not SS link... maybe it is just skysports news
Millwall two up at Scunny
Reading 2 Shef U 3

Cardiff are back up to second.
Norwich 1 Derby 1
COME ON LEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no signs of a Leeds equalizer

Now Pompey have taken the lead at Burnley. That's good for us. We're back up to 8th.
My lunch ends at 11:44.. I am going to miss the endings... I'll keep my fingers crossed

Told you.. the tide is turning!
Norwich have scored again. 2-1 there.
I hope you're right. We need goals.
Yes! Bristol City have leveled it! 2-2.
Forest have been tied up
TOLD YOU... TIDE TURNED
Millwall now into the 6th playoff spot. Wow!
We've already subbed two - Sanchez Watt and Neil Kilkenny are on. I would like to see Davide Somma come on soon. 25 minutes to go. Come on!
Two quick goals and we'd be back into 6th spot. Come on!
I never saw Millwall going up... I don't want them to go up
Derby have tied it up again
Derby have equalized again against Norwich!
Merse: "Nothing's happened." He's still bored.
It's officially LEEDS TIME!!!

Not a good couple of days for the Tractor Boys
Forest retake the lead... not good
Burnley tie it up against Pompey
Cheers, mate. We need the mojo...and goals. COME ON!
Leicester are beating Watford 3-2
Looks like we'll be enjoying some Championship fixtures against West Ham next year. The Champ is the place to be - care to join us, Dave?
We're somehow back down to 9th again.
Yes - Davide Somma has replaced Billy Paynter. Come on, Davide!
QPR have been pegged back. They won't be going up quite yet.
QPR 1 Hull 1
Somma's had a shot on goal already. COME ON!
The bell just rang... good luck buddy!
I want a Davide Somma hat-trick. Come on, lad!
Cheers, mate. We need it. Ten minutes left.
That's good - Scunny have pegged one back against Millwall.
We're pouring it on now. Palace just hanging on. Cross after cross raining in. We've left it late but it's possible. COME ON!
Palace have taken both of their strikers off and replaced them with defenders. Gone into their shell now.
COME ON, YOU WHITES!
If results hold up, QPR will be promoted today. A few minutes away from it.
Scunny are just about mathematically relegated. Sheffield United will live to fight another day but it looks likely they'll be relegated at the weekend.
It's a goal for Bristol City. No, it's been disallowed. Forest still 2-3 up.
Sheffield United have won 2-3 and live until at least the weekend.
Swindon look dead and buried. Paul Hart's side will be in L2 next season.
Norwich have scored! 3-2! That means that the QPR party is put on hold. No champagne today. They'll have to wait until Saturday.
Neil Kilkenny is booked deep into stoppage time.
Confirmation now that PNE have been relegated. Brighton will replace them in the Championship next season.
Neil Danns has been sent off for Palace but is it too late to matter? Still playing.
BUGGGGGGGGGGERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full-time: 1-0 Palace. Catastrophic loss. We'll be in the Championship again next season for sure.
Damn! Sorry mate. Safe travels.
Sorry mate
Cheers, lads. You know - I would have taken a top half finish at the beginning of the season, so all's well that end's well.
It's not over quite yet!
