Dons have lost all five play-off games in the past. Looks like making it six out of six.
Like everyone else I can't stand the franchise, but life would be easier for us next season if they were in League 1. |

Semi-final 2nd leg Tuesday result
PARIS SAINT GERMAIN 0
BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1
Hummels (50)
(Agg 0-2)
30 shots with 5 on target, but no goals for PSG means with no points for anyone from this game, it leaves the games unchanged.
Blue4U2 2 bwildered 4
They both have Real Madrid to win 2-1 in the final fixture, that gives bwildered a big advantage. But they do have different goalscorers, so there is a chink of light for Blue4U2 to perhaps force a tie-breaker.
blueeagle 1 burnsieespana 2
They have different results, and one different goalscorer in the final fixture, so it is still all to play for.
There will be a full update when the Wednesday game has finished. |

Reply | The Summer of ‘24 - ins, outs and maybes

Danny Cowley expects Jay Mingi to be sold by Colchester this summer.
Danny Cowley has told Pompey to expect a summer financial windfall from the sale of Jay Mingi.
The Colchester boss is braced to lose the 23-year-old during the close season, claiming Championship and League One clubs are hovering.
Mingi rejected a three-year Fratton Park deal last summer in favour of becoming a free agent, eventually earning himself a two-year contract with United in September.
Under terms of the deal, the Blues received around £30,000 in training compensation, while a sell-on clause was also included
And with Mingi having shone during his maiden Colchester season, albeit often in the unfamiliar role of centre-half, Cowley admits he anticipates a summer sale.
Pompey’s former head coach told The News: ‘Jay has played a lot at right centre-half, he has been brilliant, he has done fantastic.
‘Last summer, I actually spoke with Colchester’s recruitment guys at the time, Dmitri Halajko and Ross Embleton, and of course I gave Jay a really good reference. We were really pleased to then inherit him when we got to Colchester.
‘But I don’t think we’ll hang onto him, I think he’s gone. I have a feeling there will be some finance coming back to Pompey because he’s done brilliantly for us, he’s far too athletic for League Two.
‘We would love to keep him, but my feeling is there are a lot of Championship and League One clubs that are very keen to sign him.
‘Jay has the athleticism to be able to play anywhere on the pitch because he’s an incredible athlete, he has some incredible technical skills that allow him to speed the game up. He can execute at speed.
‘I’ve been lucky enough to manage in eight of the top nine divisions and everyone asks me what the definer is - and probably it’s the ability to execute your skills at speed.
‘If you can do that, then you can play in the Championship and beyond. If you can’t, then there’s probably a ceiling on the level you can play.’
Mingi made 28 appearances as Colchester avoided relegation from League Two on the final day of the campaign.
However, a hamstring injury sidelined him for two-and-a-half months, returning to fitness after Cowley had been appointed head coach in January.
The former Charlton man previously made 29 appearances for Pompey, scoring once, after arriving as a free transfer in September 2021.
Cowley added: ‘Last season at Pompey, he had a brilliant spell with us.
‘We had a lot of injuries at the time and he came in against Forest Green (October 2022) and played very well and had a really good run in the team. Unfortunately, when we left, he found himself outside the side.’ |

A big advantage to Daniel after getting the wins for Southampton and Plymouth spot-on, and three outcomes. The Ipswich 2-0 spot-on for concordman, but he going to require 3 pointers from Fulham and Forest to win now, as they both have Newcastle to win 2-1.
Division One play-off final
basher2010 4 (1) bwildered 4 (1)
All square as basher2010 has the Arsenal 3-0 spot-on, and bwildered gets 3 points for the Ipswich 2-0. The defining game of the three left could be the Brentford v Fulham one, where they have a different opinion.

The scoring Keeping with the format for this stage of the competition, in addition to score predictions, please predict two goal-scorers from each game as well, these can of course be two from the same side. Four points, to put more emphasis, for a spot-on score prediction, one point for the correct outcome, and one point for each goal scored (including own goals) by either of your nominated goal-scorers. As there is an advantage posting first regarding goal scorers, the member posting second can have up to two predictions the same.
Tie-break If competitors can't be separated by number of spot-ons, for a tie-break please also predict the minute of the first substitution in the Real Madrid v Bayern Munich fixture. Your tie-break prediction must be made before that match kicks off.
As always, half-time subs are 46th minute, and injury-time substitutions will be either 45 or 90 minutes. If there are no substitutions at all, closest to zero will win
Score, goal-scorer and substitute tie-break predictions will be for the end of normal time, extra-time and/or penalties will not count.
Good luck everybody.

Semi-finals results
WEST HAM UNITED 2 LIVERPOOL 2
Liverpool's Premier League title hopes seem all but over after ex-U's loanee Michail Antonio scored to rescue a point for West Ham. No points for anyone from this game.
MANCHESTER UNITED 1 BURNLEY 1
Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana cost his side victory as Zeki Amdouni converted a late penalty to grab a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley. Well done to Daniel for being the only one to have this spot-on, and only BFG got the outcone.
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 2 LUTON TOWN 1
Wolves ended a six-game winless run in the Premier League and piled pressure on relegation-threatened Luton with this victory. 3 got this spot-on, and a further 4 had the outcome.
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY 1
Huddersfield were all but relegated from the Championship despite a battling draw against fellow strugglers Birmingham, whose own status now depends on results going their way in the final round of fixtures. 3 had this spot-on, and nobody got the outcome.
MILLWALL 1 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 0
Millwall struck late to secure a narrow win over Plymouth, piling pressure on The Pilgrims at the bottom of the Championship. Everyone predicted a win for Millwall, with 3 getting it spot-on.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 3 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 0
Wednesday maintained their push to avoid Championship relegation with a thumping victory over West Brom. Nobody had this spot-on, but 2 did get the outcome.
EXETER CITY 1 OXFORD UNITED 2
Oxford secured a League One play-off place with this narrow victory. 4 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome.
LINCOLN CITY 0 PORTSMOUTH 2
Lincoln missed out on the League One play-off spots as they lose to Champions Portsmouth in the final game of the season. Well done to basher2010 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome.
READING 3 BLACKPOOL 2
Blackpool's League One play-off hopes were left in tatters by Reading, who finished a miserable campaign off the field with an on-field high. No points for anybody from this game.
WREXHAM 2 STOCKPOORT COUNTY 1
Wrexham toasted promotion to League One, as they came from behind to beat League Two champions Stockport. Well done to concordman for being the only one to have this spot-on, and only Daniel got the outcome.
Some great performances today, that produced a very good 16 spot-ons in total, as certain members showed just why they are in these end of season Semi-finals. This is how those Semi-finals finished:-
Charity Shield Semi-finals
concordman 11 (3) durham_exile 5 (1)
A comfortable win for concordman, after he got the wins for Millwall, Oxford and Wrexham spot-on. Just the Oxford 2-1 spot-on for durham_exile in reply.
RSCOSWORTH 11 (3) Daniel 12 (3)
Wow, what a game, that didn't deserve to have a loser. But it is RSCOSWORTH who unfortunately has to lose, despite having three 3 pointers, the wins for Wolves and Oxford, and the Huddersfield 1-1. Three 3 pointers also for Daniel, the wins for Wolves and Millwall, and the Man utd 1-1, and getting the Wrexham outcome proved to be the defining outcome, to put him into the final.
Division One play-off Semi-finals
basher2010 10 (3) Tropical_Us 5 (1)
A comfortable win for basher2010, who was another one to get three 3 pointers, the wins for Wolves, Millwall and Portsmouth. Just a 3 pointer for the Huddersfield 1-1 for Tropical_Us in reply.
bwildered 8 (2) BFG 3
A comfortable win for bwildered, after he had the Huddersfield 1-1 and the Oxford 2-1 spot-on. Only three outcomes for BFG.
That makes to the two finals as being:-
Charity Shield final
concordman v Daniel
Division One Play-off final
basher2010 v bwildered
For these finals, there will be a replay for any drawn games. It will be the Premier League fixtures on 11/12/13 May. The tie-breaker rules will only apply for any replay if needed. No more than four predictions the same as your opponent, and all 10 games to be posted at the same time please.
