Geez I had my eye on Burnley as the outsider in the draw league Championship at one point but I'd kind of forgotten about them. Probably when Loughborough and Northwich Victoria had decided to start winning or losing more often and I was more focused on things like Sunderland AFC actually figuring out you kinda had to score more and not less goals than your opponent to win games.

Just a few things I've noted

Loughborough Athletic are now tied as the drawingest team in Football League history
Wolverhampton Wanderers & Blackburn Rovers looks like it was a great match
Birmingham St George's 1 point in their last 5 has seen them plummet out of title contention
Burslem Port Vale, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland AFC are both clinging onto safety hopes. If either fails to win their remaining matches they will be unable to reach safety and risk relegation.

Walsall need to beat Liverpool and hope that Northwich Victoria does them a favour because Liverpool have a guaranteed three pointer their last game of the season. Still at least there's no automatic promotion which is nice.
