Every Match is a Cup Final!
Morning chaps! With only three matches left for most sides, every match is a Cup Final. That certainly applies to my beloved Leeds, who take on Newcastle at the sacred Elland Road ground in the early kick-off this morning. New boss Sam Allardyce has said that this one is a "must win," and the side must rouse itself to get at least a point against a team that is flying at the moment.
After that, we'll sit back and watch the other relegation rivals in their matches, most notably Forest on the road to Chelsea.
Join me for all the action this morning, won't you?

Our reality is that we need between 4-6 points from our last three matches. I’d take a point today.
The squad for today: Robles, Firpo, Wober, Kristensen, Ayling, Koch, McKennie, Greenwood, Harrison, Rodrigo, Bamford.
Subs: Meslier, Forshaw, Aaronson, Roca, Summerville, Struijk, Rutter, Gnonto, Gray.
We’re away in this critical match.
All Newcastle so far; I’m as nervous as a kitten!
Yes! Against the run of play, Bamford crosses for Rodrigo whose header can only be palmed into Ayling’s path who slams home! 1-0 Whites!
We’re snapping into every challenge now. Too much fouling.
Newcastle look dangerous every time they go forward.
A quarter of an hour gone and we’re just hanging to a priceless lead.
This is all Fat Sam style. Free kicks from Robles from Hal way, long throws from McKennie, nine men behind the ball.
A terrible five minutes there. Firpo earns a penalty that Bamford then wastes. Then Isak wins a pen and Wilson slots home.
The Bamford penalty just looks worse and worse every replay.
For the record, West Ham -- DC is rooting for the Whites today!
Oh! Bamford teed up Greenwood and he blazes over when he should have buried it in the bottom corner.
Halftime: a really weird game. We barely had a shot on goal but could’ve been 2-0 up. 1-1 at the half. All to play in the second half. MOT!
Although LUFC need the 3 points TODAY! Not next week!
Off we go in the second half. Come on, you Whites!
Thanks, Johnno!
Oh! Cally Wilson blasted over when he might have scored.
Bugger! Firpo gives away another penalty and Wilson dispatches. We’re 1-2 down and chasing it now.
Phew! St. Max nets but it’s ruled offside.
I’ll take the 2-2 draw and the point in the end. It moves us up to 18th on 31 points from 36. We’ll probably need one win from the last two. I fancy us beating Spurs on the final day.
Now we need Chelsea to muller Forest for us.
