Midweek Special 4
I think this is the fourth one, anyway. The last few teams in the Football League play their 45th of 46 games before this weekend's final round of matches.
MONDAY 28 APRIL Championship: West Brom will seal their return to the Premier League with a win at home to Southampton.
TUESDAY 29 APRIL League Two: Mansfield will be relegated without playing if Chester avoid defeat at home to Stockport.

West Brom all but promoted, barring a miracle from Hull this weekend.
Mansfield are relegated[/color], after Chester's 0-0 draw.
Weekend's permutations in a bit.

The last weekend of the season in the football league; the penultimate in the Premier League... (3-5 May)
ENGLAND
Premier League: Everton can seal a UEFA cup spot on Sunday with a draw , if Aston Villa lose and Portsmouth fail to win; or with a win if Aston Villa fail to win. (Arsenal v Everton (Sun), Aston Villa v Wigan, Middlesbrough v Portsmouth) Fulham v Birmingham could see either team relegated (or neither. but not both.) If Fulham win, then Birmingham will be relegated if Bolton and Reading both win. (Bolton v Sunderland, Reading v Spurs) If it's a draw, then Fulham will be relegated if Bolton and Reading both win. If Birmingham win, then Fulham will be relegated unless Bolton and Reading both lose.
League One: LAST DAY Some of the games are crucial at both ends of the table: Carlisle v Bournemouth Cheltenham v Doncaster Champions: Swansea Promoted: 1 from 3 2 Doncaster 45 25 80 : Cheltenham (20th, a) ------------------------------------ 3 Nottm Forest 45 31 79 : Yeovil (18th, h) 4 Carlisle 45 18 79 : Bournemouth (21st, h) Doncaster will be promoted if they win; if draw, they'll still be up if Forest and Carlisle both fail to win; if they lose, they'll still be up if Forest lose and Carlisle fail to win. Nottingham Forest will be promoted if they get more points on Saturday than Doncaster do. Carlisle will be promoted if they win, and both Doncaster and Forest fail to win. Play-offs: The other two, plus Southend and Leeds
Relegated: Luton, Port Vale, and two from four. 19 Crewe 45 -15 50 : Oldham (9th, h) 20 Cheltenham 45 -23 48 : Doncaster (h) ------------------------------------ 21 Bournemouth 45 -10 47 : Carlisle (a) 22 Gillingham 45 -28 46 : Leeds (6th, a) Gillingham will be relegated unless they win, Bournemouth fail to win, and Cheltenham lose. Bournemouth will be down if they lose; or if they draw, and either Cheltenham avoid defeat or Gillingham win; or if Cheltenham win and Crewe avoid defeat. Cheltenham will be down if they lose and either Bournemouth avoid defeat or Gillingham win; or if they draw and Bournemouth win. Crewe will be down if they lose, and Bournemouth and Cheltenham both win.
League Two: LAST DAY All decided, except for who plays whom in the play-offs. Champions: MK Dons Promoted: Peterborough, Hereford Play-offs: Rochdale, Stockport, Darlington, Wycombe Relegated: Mansfield, Wrexham
SCOTLAND
Division One: Clyde will be relegated unless they beat Alloa at home in the 2nd leg of their play-off semi-final. Clyde need to win by 2 goals.
Division Two: Cowdenbeath will be relegated if they lose at home to Arbroath (play-off semi 2nd leg, 1-1 from first leg).

Championship: LAST DAY (Sunday 4 May) 1 West Brom 45 31 78 : QPR (14th, a) 2 Stoke 45 14 78 : Leicester (21st, h) ------------------------------------ 3 Hull 45 19 75 : Ipswich (a) 4 Bristol City 45 -2 71 5 Watford 45 6 69 : Blackpool (18th, a) 6 Crystal Palace 45 11 68 : Burnley (11th, h) ------------------------------------------- 7 Wolverhampton 45 4 67 : Plymouth (10th, h) 8 Ipswich 45 8 66 : Hull (h) 9 Sheff Utd 45 6 66 : Southampton (22nd, a) Champions/Promoted? West Brom are almost certainly up: it would take a 13-goal turnaround to stop them. They'll be champions if they win. Stoke need only a point, but... Hull will be promoted if they win and Stoke lose. Play-offs: 3rd place + Bristol City + 2 from 5... Watford will have a play-off spot if they win, or if they draw and Palace or Wolves fail to win. Crystal Palace will also secure their place if they win. If they draw, they would be ousted if two of the following happen: Watford avoid defeat; Wolves win; Ipswich or Sheff Utd win convincingly. Wolves will be in the play-offs if they win and either of Palace or Watford fail to win. If Watford draw, Wolves would need to win by 3 goals. Ipswich's best chance is to win and hope that 2 of: Watford lose, Palace lose, Wolves fail to win. Same for Sheff Utd, except that they're also relying on winning by 3 more goals than Ipswich do, or on Ipswich not winning at all.
Relegated: Colchester, Scunthorpe, plus 1 from 5. 18 Blackpool 45 -5 53 : Watford (a) 19 Coventry 45 -9 53 : Charlton (12th, a) 20 Sheff Wed 45 -4 52 : Norwich (16th, h) 21 Leicester 45 -3 51 : Stoke (a) --------------------------------- 22 Southampton 45 -17 51 : Sheff Utd (h) Southampton will be down if they lose; or if they draw and Leicester avoid defeat; or if they win and all the sides above them win. Leicester will be down if they lose and Soton avoid defeat; or if they draw, Soton win and Sheff Wed avoid defeat. Sheff Wed will be down if they lose, Leicester avoid defeat and Soton win; or if they draw, Leicester and Soton both win and Blackpool and Coventry both avoid defeat. Coventry will be down if they lose, Sheff Wed avoid defeat, and Leicester and Soton both win. (unless Blackpool get beaten by 5 more goals than Coventry do) Blackpool will be down if they lose, Coventry and Sheff Wed avoid defeat, and Leicester and Southampton both win.

Edited to include League One details.
The pools guy in the Sunday Times predicts Stoke to go up and Leicester to go down from the Championship; and Forest to go up from League One, with Bournemouth and Gillingham relegated.

Well they've got their equaliser... but Cheltenham have been pegged back Cheltenham v Doncaster is such a crucial game. A Cheltenham goal puts Bournemouth down and Forest up but a Doncaster goal puts Doncaster up and Cheltenham down. As it stands

They even predicted Watford and Wolves to finish level on points...

Premier League: Everton can seal a UEFA cup spot on Sunday with a draw, if Aston Villa lose and Portsmouth fail to win; or with a win if Aston Villa fail to win. (Arsenal v Everton (Sun), Aston Villa v Wigan, Middlesbrough v Portsmouth) Everton aren't guaranteed 5th yet, after Bendtner's late winner. It goes to the final day. Fulham and Birmingham live to fight another week. Fulham are out of the relegation zone, Brum slip to 19th. Nottingham Forest are promoted[/color], returning to the Championship after a 3-year absence, because they won and Doncaster didn't. So Doncaster and Carlisle settle for play-off places[/color]. (Doncaster at Southend, Carlisle at Leeds) Gillingham are relegated, losing at Leeds. Bournemouth are also down, despite 19 points from their last 21. Had they beaten Carlisle, Crewe would have gone down. Clyde survive (for now) and progress to the play-off final, despite being 5-2 down on aggregate at one stage! They fought back with three goals in the last half an hour, then added another in extra time to win 6-5 on aggregate (5-3 on the day). Cowdenbeath are relegated[/color], losing 2-1 after extra time.
