The Not-So-Glamorous Leagues Round-up [P+R]

[clash]

(I actually posted all this to the Barca thread at first, lol)

Thought we could do with a season-ending round-up thread for leagues that don't have their own thread...

Ligue 1 - 2/3 games to go

1. Montpellier 72
2. PSG 67
3. Lille 62
...
15. Caen 34
16. Dijon 34
17. Ajaccio 34
18. Brestois 33
19. Sochaux 33
20. Auxerre 28

Montpellier is close to winning their first ever L1 title, while Auxerre, who played in th CL last year is going to get relegated!

Eredivise

1. Ajax
2. AZ
3. Feyenoord
...
16. VVV
17. De Graafschap
18. Excelsior

SPL

1. Celtic 84
2. Rangers 66
3. Motherwell 58
...
10. Inverness 32
11. Hibs 27
12. Dunfermline 24

Rangers got deducted 10 points, the second CL spot goes to the third place due to Gers' ****e financial situation

Russian Premier League

1. Zenit 81
2. Dinamo Moscow 69
3. Spartak Moscow 68
...
14. Kyryla Sovetov 27
15. Spartak Nalchik 24
16. Tomsk Tom 22

Add to the list!

 

[Sir Calumn]

Wow, I knew Montpelier were challenging in France but didnt think they would actually win it. Now they are in the driving seat!

SPL is now actually not even worth saying how worthless it is.

----

Championship is over (except for the playoffs)...

Promoted Automatically: Reading (winners), Southampton
Playoffs: West Ham, Birmingham, Blackpool, Cardiff
Relegated: Portsmouth*, Coventry, Doncaster

*Portsmouth fined 10 pts (would have stayed up without the fine)

Playoffs (home and away, first team to play home leg first):

Cardiff vs West Ham
Blackpool vs Birmingham

Come on Blackpool!

 

[wrtsys]

So it's likely to see that Giroud topscorer + Montpellier winning L1, oh, OM screwed..

 

[virtual_razvan]

The situation is insane for Romania:

We have Dinamo - U Cluj, Dinamo - CFR, Steaua - Dinamo, Rapid - Steaua, CFR - Steaua ahead. Every team from the 1st place to the 5th might clinch it. The relegation battle is fierce also.
The problem here is we don't know if this battle is 100% correct or else.

 

[Filipower]

Yeah, nevermind the league where the 4th-placed team took City out of Europe.

 

[ShearerM4]

PSG have the millions and sacked their manager during the Winter break when they were first.

Would be nice to see Montpellier win it. They've been pretty consistent since coming up.

 

[Filipower]

Plus, Rémi Gaillard would be ecstatic!

 

[ShearerM4]

Certainly that too. No doubt he's been plotting something for a while already!

 

[Filipower]

Right? I really hope so!

 

[Filipower]

No worries though, Porto just won the league. How, though, I don't know.

 

[Ebonix]

Motherwell in the CL? My lord that's going to be interesting... not for Motherwell though. What's the highest previous aggregate win?

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

Championship is over (except for the playoffs)...

Promoted Automatically: Reading (winners), Southampton
Playoffs: West Ham, Birmingham, Blackpool, Cardiff

Come on Blackpool!

Come on West Ham!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Montpellier are so nearly French Champs. They will lose their entire team this summer.

Fortuna Dusseldorf look set to win their Promotion/Relegation playoff with Hertha Berlin. They won 2-1 on Thursday in Berlin, and host the second leg Tuesday. They've been in the 4th Tier more recently than the Bundesliga. They also pulled a Man City back in the 90s

1989–1992 Bundesliga (1st tier)
1992–1993 2. Bundesliga (2nd tier)
1993–1994 Oberliga Nordrhein (3rd tier) – Champions: 1994
1994–1995 2. Bundesliga (2nd tier)
1995–1997 Bundesliga (1st tier)

Anyway, the more teams from the Rhein-Ruhr, the better. Already have Leverkusen, Schalke, Dortmund, and Gladbach.

Koln were relegated by Bayern on the last match day. Would have been epic if Koln had to play Dusseldorf in the Relegation Playoffs as they are 27 miles apart.

 

[Xifio]

Montpellier are so nearly French Champs.

they host #3 Lille, who are mathematically not out of the title race ... while #2 PSG host #5 Rennes, who haven't yet secured Europa ... there could easily be a twist ... I'm obviously cheering for Carletto and Leonardo to pull it off ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

PSG are in the CL anyway man, cheer for the underdogs!

 

[ARIAGA II]

Montpellier & Aït-Fana win Ligue 1 at the death. PSG will have probably won the league if they kept Kombouaré.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Montpellier aren't champions yet, if PSG wins their final match they will need at least a point away at Auxerre to clinch it.

I'm definitely rooting for them, today's last gasp win was insane! Rémi must be thrilled

 

[Zlatan]

Eredivise

1. Ajax
2. AZ
3. Feyenoord
...
16. VVV
17. De Graafschap
18. Excelsior

AZ didn't finish 2nd, they finished 4th. Feyenoord are second, PSV third.

Ah well, what matters is the first place ofcourse.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

1 minute left in stoppage time, with the game 2-2, 4-3 on aggregate for Dusseldorf, their fans storm the pitch. Players are shuttled to the locker room. Looks like they are going to come back and play out the final minute. Would be insane if they had to forfeit the game and lose their place in next season's Bundesliga. More insane if Hertha gets the winner here. Find a stream now if you can.

EDIT: Dusseldorf go up! Check out this stoppage time though

He was.
