Fulham lost to Reading 2-4. If they lose to either Liverpool or Swansea on their last matches, it's goodbye Premiership to Neil Etheridge for now. You're saying Fulham will get relegated if they lose to Swansea and Liverpool, or that Etheridge might leave Fulham? There's still plenty of flotsam below the table. Don't think they're in danger. Don't be quite sure. They now need at least 5 points to avoid relegation, which means they should beat Liverpool and Swansea. But, they also hope that Wigan and Aston Villa drop points in their next match so that they only need to draw Liverpool regardless of what happens to them against Swansea. I am quite unhappy that Martin Jol was too complacent that the team was able to break the 40-point mark early on in the first round, but due to the fact they lost Clint Dempsey to Tottenham last season, and a major friction between Jol, Dimitar Berbatov and the Fulham board during the January window, I'm afraid that they won't be able to continue their Premiership run next season. I'll expect them to do a major, major overhaul should they drop to the Championship. As for Neil, if relegation doesn't come to the team, he might want to continue his career with the club next season, albeit be on a loan spell. Otherwise, maybe, just maybe, we should see him start for the team, at least at the second tier.

But you said that Fulham goes down if they lose to Swansea or Liverpool. That was not a factual statement in itself.

The way it stands now, they are equal with Stoke and Villa, Stoke on superior GD and with a game in hand, and Villa inferior on goal difference. There are 7 teams below them, with Reading and QPR now relegated, so there are 5 teams below Fulham with a higher chance of being relegated. Historically, 40 has been the safety mark of the Premier League. The last team that was relegated that had 40 points or higher was West Ham back in 02/03, with 42 points. Even if Fulham lose their last two matches it would take a great statistical coincidence for all teams below them to win their remaining matches for that to happen. Well, that should clear things up.

The way it's looking with Fulhams GK situation I really would prefer if NE can just get a long term loan spell in any of England's top four leagues. I can't wait for Fulham to sort his situation out.

Werder Bremen 2-2 Hoffenheim
It's almost certain that Hoffenheim will be relegated to the 2. Bundesliga next season with 2 fixtures left, which means Schröcki will return to the level "where he started from" when he was at Greuther Fürth. I bet the club's board might think of a major overhaul of its squad by then and maybe sack a few staff and release a number of players. I won't be suprised if Schröck's stay with Hoffenheim will be terminated; I do think joining them was a bad decision for him as he was a bench player all season.

Regarding Patino's participation in AFC Champions League, here's what AFC said @thaifussballde: in regards to our last tweets, 'goal' now is reporting the AFC has turned down Buriram's request to replace Bustos with Patiño.

Last match of the season is vs BVB. 2-pt gap with 2 matches to play. Must-win this weekend vs HSV.

Hey Ray Jónsson is back playing in the Úrvalsdeild! He played his 1st game with his new team Keflavík in a 2-1 loss against FH Hafnarfjdar. He was a starter and played 89' being subbed out with 1' left. It seems Ray is also playing at left back.

May I remind you that we will open a new Filipinos Abroad (2013-2014) thread by next week, at least on May 18th. After all our Euro-based players end their 2012-13 seasons, by then we will unpin this thread.

After all our Euro-based players end their 2012-13 seasons, by then we will unpin this thread. Hello Stellar, my report on Ray Jonsson is actually the 1st game of his 2013-2014 season. You should open a new 2014 thread for it. Sorry I've got to go, as in now...

UPDATES:
Dennis Cagara (Karlsruher SC)
Cagara's team is surely promoted back to 2.Bundesliga regardless of the results of their last game this season next week. As usual, Cagara is not on the line-up and wasn't used in most KSC recent games. Their last game ended 1-1 against Hansa Rostock.
Stephan Schrock (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)
Stephan Schrock is set to return playing back to 2.Bundesliga after Hoffenheim lost in their home against Hamburger SV 1-4. Hoffenheim will surely relegated after this season and back in 2.Bundesliga after 5 years. They placed 2nd in 2.Bundesliga in 2007-2008 season
Are we seeing 3 Filipino Footballers in 1 league (2.Bundesliga) next season? FIND OUT!!!
Unless there are transfer of players after this season.

Stephan Schrock (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)
TSG's relegation to 2.Bundesliga is reduced to 50% as they won their last game against Borussia Dortmund in Dortmund's home 1-2.
Dortmund R. Lewandowski 6' Hoffenheim 77' S. Salihovi? (PG) 82' S. Salihovi? (PG)
Salihovic became Hoffenheim's hero. However retaining to the Bundesliga next season still has a hindrace as they need to win against the promotion play-off winner Kaiserslautern.
Schrock was not in the line-up and wasn't used. Maybe their new coach is not impressed with his performance.
Dennis Cagara (Karlsruher SC)
KSC became the 3.Liga champion as they won their last game against Wehen Wiesbaden. KSC is promoted back to 2.Bundesliga.
