Only two games to go in the latest game 64 season. I'm delighted to say that the final turn of the season will be a live turn next Tuesday evening. And it could possibly be a thriller.
Spurs are just a point from clinching the Premier league title, Anthony Brockway's side were held 0-0 by James West's Aston Villa this week, but that scoreline means they're still five points clear of second placed Wolves and need only a point at home to Jamie Maycroft's struggling Man City in week 21. With the title all but over, City are down in part of the more exciting end of the table - a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Sam Roberts' Doncaster means that, mathematcially at least, anyone from sixth placed Villa down to Doncaster in 11th could yet be relegated. Doncaster are second bottom but three vital points this week have kept their hopes of survival alive, and if they can win next week at already relegated Liverpool they could even be out of the drop zone. Rivals are playing each other - Everton entertain Villa, Man United at home to Scarborough - so the picture in the bottom three could look very different by Friday morning.
Promotion back to the Prem has been won by Steve Bennett's Arsenal and Chris Burton's Wednesday, those two well clear of the rest all season. Kirk Greenway's West Ham are a comfortable second and will be favourites to join them via the playoffs.
Just two points separate the top six in the Euro league, any of them could yet win the title. Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro lead by a point after a 3-0 win at bottom of the table Inter Milan, Patrick Lyon's New York Red Bull one point behind after they won 4-1 at Benfica. Glen Pine's Basle failed to win at home for the second game in a row, following last weeks defeat to Bayern with a 1-1 draw against Rich Coupland's Lazio - a result which means that those two sides are also on 36 points, level with Red Bull, a point behind the leaders. Gerard O'Brien's Bayern won 1-0 at home to Chris Burton's Monaco whilst Real Madrid won 1-0 at home to PSG - both are on 35 points and very much still in it. Dnipro travel to relegated Benfica next week and Real Madrid are at home to bottom side Inter, Lazio entertain Bayern in a game which could see one of those two knocked out of the running.
Sam Roberts' Stromsgodset and Louis Browne's Valencia are both promoted from Serie B. The playoffs should be between Bazz Wetton's Antwerp and David Burton's Mini Mars.

By the time the final whistle goes on Friday Bayern will be well and truly out of any reckoning, and focusing on not losing both finals in the live turn.
