Today is the last day of the English soccer season. It's crazy to think I'm on my third state to live in since the season started. It seems like the season just started. After the jump, the TV schedule and a few scenarios to keep an eye on.

Premier League Title:

  • If Manchester City beat West Ham on Sunday, they will win the title
  • If Manchester City draw against West Ham on Sunday, they are all but assured of winning the title because of far superior goal difference over Liverpool
  • If Liverpool beat Newcastle and Manchester City lose against West Ham on Sunday, Liverpool will win the Premier League title
  • Chelsea have been officially eliminated from title contention

Europa League:

  • Tottenham will qualify for Europa League unless Manchester United win and Tottenham lose on Sunday

Relegation:

  • Sunderland have clinched safety with win against West Brom
  • Norwich City are all but assured of being relegated due to far inferior goal difference

This should update as often as the Guardian live table does, so it should change every few minutes as various teams score goals.

  1. Liverpool are down at Newcastle now. I wish there were WPA-like graphs for their title percentage today.

  2. This day is fun. I wish Everton's game meant something more, but it's almost the same to see Liverpool come up short.

    1. This day is a lot of fun, but as you said I wish more game meant more. The final day when Man City took the title two years ago was the best. It'll take a lot to top that.

      1. I don't know. I remember the final day back when Danny Murphy saved Fulham's bacon was a lot of fun. Seeing Hugh Grant going delirious in Craven Cottage was hilarious. Plus, Man City had quit on Sven-Goran that day and allowed 7 or 8 goals.

  3. Liverpool down and City up both by 1-0 it's going to make the second halves a little dull. Especially since Spurs are up 3-0 so that Europa League spot is sewn up.

  4. Lukaku just went Beast Mode in swatting away the Hull defender on that goal.

    2. I like the lad, but I'm not too happy with his ability to be awesome while I don't have him in my fantasy team, then to go quiet when I pick him for my starting XI.

  5. Liverpool just drew level, but unless West Ham have three goals in them, it doesn't really matter.

  6. As of right now, I've drawn level with nibbish WTF. I dunno what needs to happen to move ahead, but with everything else pretty much settled that's what I care about the most now.

  7. Would you look at that...Fulham have allowed a goal in the 75+ minute. I haven't run the numbers, but I'd wager Fulham would be somewhere around 14th+/- of games were only 74 minutes long.

  8. I finished second place?
    whoa

    Too bad I missed all the action this morning because I had to work

  9. Never watched an EPL game in my life. 4th isn't bad! I also haven't watched a college hockey game in years and finished first in that bracket. I think there's a lesson here.

    1. I picked mine using a generator from random.org. Tied for 11th is acceptable.
