The whole 15 points wont go, they may get 5 back at most, I'm sure. Stags will be on this list for saturday, because if we lose and results go against us, we will be down and out

There's no way you'll be relegated on Saturday, it would require Notts, Chester and Dag & Red to all win, which judging by current form is highly unlikely!

But they can't get automatic promotion. Forest still can.

But they can't get automatic promotion. Forest still can. That's right. Forest will be on the list this week as they can "secure" their play-off place this weekend if they lose more ground on Carlisle. Be sure to thank me for that Similarly, I'm neglecting to mention when Premiership clubs confirm European spots when they still have a chance of the title (or Top 4 in the case of UEFA cup places). But for the record, United and Chelsea will definitely be top 4, and Arsenal will definitely be top 4 if Chelsea beat Everton tomorrow night. But I'd rather we had to wait until the weekend, I still want 2nd place

This weekend (all matches on Saturday 19 April):
ENGLAND
League One: Swansea will be champions if they win (home to Yeovil), or Carlisle lose (home to Southend), or both draw. Nottm Forest's play-off place will be confirmed if they get fewer points than Carlisle do on Saturday (otherwise they'll still have a chance of automatic promotion). Southend's play-off place will be confirmed if they draw, or if they lose and neither Walsall nor Brighton win. (Forest v Luton, Walsall v Bournemouth, Brighton v Hartlepool). Leeds will definitely be in the play-offs if they beat Millwall, Walsall and Brighton both lose, and Tranmere and Oldham both fail to win (Huddersfield v Tranmere, Northampton v Oldham). Bournemouth will be relegated if they lose and Crewe don't. (Crewe v Cheltenham).
League Two: MK Dons will be promoted if they avoid defeat against Stockport, or if Hereford fail to beat Peterborough. They'll be champions if they win and Peterborough lose. Peterborough will be promoted if they beat Hereford. Wrexham will go down if they lose and Dag & Red avoid defeat; or if they draw and Dag & Red win. Mansfield will be down if they lose, and Dag & Red, Notts County and Chester all win. (Wrexham v Notts County, Mansfield v Shrewsbury, Rotherham v Dag & Red, Wycombe v Chester)
SCOTLAND
Division One: Hamilton will be promoted (as champions) if they beat Clyde; or if Dundee lose at Queen of the South; or if both draw. Morton must play off to stay up if they get fewer points at home to Dunfermline than Clyde do at Hamilton.
Division Two: Raith's play-off place will be confirmed if they avoid defeat, or if either of Alloa and Brechin fail to win. (Berwick v Raith, Airdrie v Alloa, Peterhead v Brechin).
Division Three: Arbroath will take the final play-off place if they win at East Fife; or if Elgin lose at Montrose; or if both draw. East Stirling will have finished bottom again if they lose at Dumbarton and Forfar win at Stenhousmuir.

Oh, and the arbitration panel will decide their decision on what to do with Leeds' deduction on Monday, but will not announce for another 10 days - meaning that the announcement will be made just a couple of days before the end of the season Absolutely ridiculous, especially given the inevitability of an appeal if Leeds get back enough points to affect Doncaster/Carlisle (which does appear unlikely).

Leeds will get 5 points at most, has anyone else ever been deducted 15 instead of 10 points? And it would only be donny or carlisle who appeal, and where did it get Sheff U over the Tevez affair?

Oh, and the 5 points would only allow them to move up the play offs, not get automatic promotion.

Swansea are champions[/color] despite losing, as Carlisle lost too. This tightens things up in the race for 2nd place, so although Nottingham Forest and Southend have secured top six places, they might still get that last automatic slot.
Leeds haven't quite secured their place yet, despite winning. Only Brighton can catch them now.
Bournemouth won their fifth game in a row, and are now just four points from safety.
MK Dons & Peterborough are both promoted, after winning today.
Wrexham live to fight another day, beating fellow strugglers Notts County. Mansfield are right back in it after Boulding's hat-trick.
SCOTLAND
Hamilton are promoted to the SPL, winning 2-0 at Clyde. Clyde have now slipped below Morton, who won 3-0 to cancel out their goal different defecit.
Raith are in the play-offs, coming from 2-0 down to win 5-2 at Berwick.
Arbroath are in the play-offs[/color] despite losing, as Elgin also lost.
East Stirling haven't quite been consigned to bottom place yet, as Forfar lost.

Midweek Special 3[/u] Tuesday 22 April
Not particularly special this midweek, except that one team could lose their football league status...
ENGLAND
League Two: Wrexham will be relegated if they lose at Hereford, since they will then be unable to catch both Dagenham and Mansfield. Additionally, Darlington and Wycombe will both be consigned to the play-offs if Hereford win.
Blue Square Prem: Burton and Cambridge can both confirm their play-off places with wins; or if Stevenage lose; or with draws is Stevenage draw. Exeter can also confirm their play-off place, if they get more points than Stevenage do. (Kidderminster v Burton, Cambridge v Torquay, Exeter v Stafford, Stevenage v Northwich)

I think I want a draw for Wrexham, as I want Darlo and Wycombe still playing to go up.

From memory he showed a nice bit of skill for the 2nd and it was great teamwork to put him away for the 3rd. Where were you sitting?
