    Allison scores the winner in stoppage time for Liverpool. First goal by a keeper in Liverpool 129 year history, fine bullet header. Best enjoyed with the French commentary:

    What a weekend for Chelsea.

    • Lose the FA Cup Final 1-0

    • Lose the Womens Champions League Final 4-0

    • Their main rival for a top 4 place score a winning goal by their goalkeeper when time is up.

    I love it when a keeper comes up for a late corner. Decent header too, maybe Liverpool could use him more often.

    Piss poor defending by WBA though. A player on the far post stops that.

    @bovidae defenders on the posts seem to have gone out of style. I don't really understand why.

    @cyclops Moreso in England as they try zonal marking and use the extra man to launch counter attacks. In serie a, the man on the far post is used more often as there's a lot less focus on playing on the counter there.

    First round of playoffs in championship overnight

    Bournemouth 1- 0 Brentford
    Barnsley 0-1 Swansea

    Reverse legs this weekend. Still all are very open and the nerves are certainly there.

    the latest LOL is the chat that Brendan Rdogers' succesful season with Leicester means he is ready to once again join a big club

    a big club like Spurs or Arsenal....

    The Leicester owners have money, and seem very supportive. And the two London clubs are not very settled right now, and I would not want to work for Daniel Levy unless I got a pretty strong guarantee that I had a big say in transfers

    the joke is in thinking that either or those clubs are actually bigger than Leicester.

    Leicester in things.

    Well they've certainly won more trophies than Spurs in the last 20 years....

    No way Rodgers leaves.

    However, Kane has indicated he wants out. But who can afford him?

    Heresay at the moment. But if he does want to go I couldn't blame him

    Depends on how you define big. Bigger stadiums, bigger fan base - indeed.

    Bigger trophy cabinet. Perhaps not.

    He would be mad to join Spurs given the latest murmurings that Kane is off elsewhere (probably one of the Manchester clubs).

    Chelsea get the revenge match win and if Liverpool and Leicester both win out it will go to goal difference for the final spot (unless Chelsea drop points).

    Liverpool have the slightly better run in of the two so you'd think they're favourites, although they have an extra game and therefore an extra chance to slip up.

    Spurs champions league hopes are dead now.

    In non epl news, my favourite little football club, Eibar in la Liga are also guaranteed to be relegated from la Liga. They lasted many seasons more than anyone expected, being based in town with a population of about 28,000 and a home ground with a capacity of about 8000.

    It could be a pretty crazy Sunday. If Liverpool win tonight (away to Burnley), then they will nudge out Leicester and on Saturday it'll be Chelsea 67, Liverpool & Leicster on 66 with superior goal diff (1+winning margin tonight)

    If they lose tonight, then Chelsea are in, and Leicester are in the box seat needing only point on Sunday.

    Sunday matches are Leicster home to Spurs, Chelsea away to Villa & Liverpool home to Palace. Chelsea in control of their destiny, Liverpool & Leicester not!

    Big win for Liverpool gives the a bit of a buffer on goal difference meaning they're all but guaranteed if they can beat Crystal Palace. If they both win, Leicester need to win by 4 goals more than Liverpool do. That puts them level on goal difference but ahead on goals scored (unless you have some Micky mouse Liverpool win 5-4 and Leicester win 5-0 in which case they stay level on goals scored and the tie breaker is head to head record which Liverpool win).

    Leicester have Spurs. A win there means spurs likely miss out on Europe and potentially finish as low as 9th. Don't say it too loud, but an Arsenal win and a Spurs loss mean the first St Totteringham's day in I don't know how long.

    Spurs could easily roll over again. We have lost our heart and soul, and now we will lose Harry. Major rebuild time
