GOAL! Mainz 1-0 Bayern (Burkardt 3)

Well I never. Bayern are behind already in Mainz, with Jonathan Burkardt rifling one through Manuel Neuer.

Full time: Bournemouth 0-1 Brentford

Peep peep! A terrific win from ten-man Brentford, who move above Bournemouth into third. It’s unlikely to change much, as both teams are heading for the play-offs, but it’ll give Brentford a bit more confidence should they meet again this season.

Preamble

Well it looks like we might have made it to the business end of this unique season. It’s time to start handing out the prizes, and the P45s. Today, Watford could be promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt, Bayern Munich should win their ninth consecutive Bundesliga. Hull (League One) and Cambridge (League Two) could also be promoted.

There’s a lot going on, and we’ll almost certainly fail to keep abreast of it all. The plan is to focus on these games, all 3pm kick-offs unless stated.
