The possibility of seismic change at either the top or the bottom of the
Championship table tonight.
Portsmouth vs Ipswich for @5liveSport. #bbcfootball #pompey #itfc
Not a huge surprise, but certainly an enormous blow for Bournemouth to be losing Andoni Iraola. He’ll have his pick of jobs this summer. A brilliant coach, and a very likeable character. #afcb
Brentford vs Everton for BBC Final Score.
*plays Champions League theme tune? 👀 #bbcfootball
A massive Easter Monday for Pompey, Oxford, and quite a few others in the Championship.
Pompey in 21st vs Oxford in 23rd. Updates from 1230 on @5liveSport. #pompey #oufc #bbcfootball
An absolute treat to commentate on Sweden 🇸🇪 vs Poland 🇵🇱 tonight. Had everything you could want. Great goals, late goals, and more. Only the fourth time since 1994 that Sweden have made it to a World Cup. Poland really unfortunate having shown so much courage to fight back.
Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen. The latest step to something special for #afc?
Champions League Round of 16, second leg. Full commentary on @5liveSport Extra from 8pm alongside Matt Upson. #bbcfootball
Leeds United’s destiny is still in their own hands. Three points above the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace without Dean Henderson in a Premier League starting XI for the first time in two years.

The meat in the Champions League sandwich for Chelsea and Newcastle. More late drama at the Bridge?
Commentary for @BBCMOTD #bbcfootball
There appears to be such little fight in this Spurs team at the moment. Adversity arrives, and they fold. Of all those down at the bottom, they comfortably look the most mentally vulnerable.
Brighton celebrating James Milner at the Amex.
Alongside Luke Chambers for full commentary of Brighton vs Forest on @5liveSport Sports Extra 2, as Vitor Pereira chases his first Premier League points with Forest. #bbcfootball #bhafc #nffc
Portsmouth 5 points above the Championship relegation zone, Hull with the chance to go 3rd.

Glasner, Strand-Larsen, Edozie, relegation worries.
Plenty of threads at Selhurst Park. 🧵 Crystal Palace vs Wolves for @BBCMOTD #bbcfootball
Despite previously being in charge of Southampton for three months, Nathan Jones got his first ever league point at St Mary’s today.
Interesting that Rosenior had four centre-backs on the pitch at the end (Chalobah, Tosin, Sarr, Acheampong), presumably to give #cfc height and physicality. And they’ve still conceded a really bad goal from a corner. Defending set-pieces a big issue for Chelsea. #bbcfootball
No Estevao or Cucarella (as expected) in the Chelsea squad. Rosenior still unbeaten in the Premier League.
Burnley pick the same team that won at Palace. But they’re still 9 points from safety.
Chelsea vs Burnley @BBCMOTD Final Score. #bbcfootball
Probably need to be throwing even more praise Keith Andrews’ way, don’t we? In a week where two of the bottom five have sacked their managers, his Brentford team are going to toe to toe with the leaders, and are closer to Man City than they are the relegation zone.
Feel a huge amount of sympathy for Thomas Frank that it didn’t work out at Spurs. Performances have clearly been well short at times, but his parting message last night feels rather appropriate. “It’s easy to point on me, but it’s never only the head coach.” #coys
Thomas Tuchel was at Fulham vs Everton. I spoke to James Garner afterwards for @BBCMOTD about him potentially going to the World Cup.
“I’m always honest with myself. If you’d asked me 12 months ago, I’d have said I was miles off it. But I do think I’ve got a chance now.” #EFC
Molineux in view.
Wolves vs Bournemouth for @BBCMOTD
#bbcfootball
Referees get enough stick, so you should make a point of saying when one is very good. Thought Lewis Smith handled the south coast derby superbly today. Allowed the game to flow, wasn’t in a hurry to caution players, and got all the big calls spot on.
Fulham vs Brighton ☀️ #bbcfootball
The boos at Spurs were louder than ever at full-time. They weren’t short-lived either. It was a prolonged show of discontent from #THFC fans. And you could visibly see Thomas Frank trying to keep the pain from view. Huge win for #WHUFC. #bbcfootball
Welcome to the pressure box.
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham @BBCMOTD Final Score. #bbcfootball
Hope Arteta doesn’t duck the questions about Martinelli after that incident with Bradley. Because it’s appalling behaviour from Martinelli, and needs to be called out by those within the Arsenal camp too.
Spoken to Andoni Iraola about Semenyo for @5liveSport. Essentially confirmed that this was his last game for Bournemouth.
“It’s a fairytale ending. Football sometimes gives you something back if you’re really committed. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever coached.” #afcb
The Semenyo farewell?
Bournemouth vs Spurs for @5liveSport #bbcfootball #afcb #thfc
Am told that Spurs recalled Yang Min-hyeok from his loan spell at #Pompey yesterday. They weren’t content with the amount of game time he was getting.
And, as reported elsewhere, he will sign on loan at Coventry City today, who have promised him/Spurs more minutes. #coys #pusb
A night under the lights for Forest to reminisce over the one who shone brighter than them all.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton @BBCMOTD #nffc #efc #bbcfootball
Another slender Arsenal victory, but they keep winning these games, which feels important for any ‘wannabe’ champion. David Raya’s save from Minteh one of the best I’ve seen all season. Feels even more significant now. #AFC #BBCFootball
