I, like many, view the promotion/relegation a system where the players and fans live on the edge nearing season's end - more serious than life/death if you were. 😉

This article about the EFL sums everything for me - especially where NOW, this week-end with only 4 regular season games remaining, incredibly mathematically every one of the 24 Championship teams can still be either promoted or relegated.
Just WOW!!

Dominic Solanke's first-half penalty kept Tottenham Hotspur's season alive as they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Spurs show fight when it matters most​

It has been an abysmal season for Tottenham and their supporters, but with one last shred of hope on the line, Postecoglou's players turned up.

Spurs fought and scrapped all night, and in the second half managed to weather a Frankfurt storm on a rainy night in Germany.

For those following other leagues Wrexham and Wycombe swapped spots for the 2nd time in the last 2 weeks for automatic promotion.

Wrexham looks like will have to fight for promotion after a few costly results.
