While the season for most sides is now over, two teams get to play out the traditional season closer with very different things at stake. For Chelsea, a chance to put a good end to a somewhat rocky season and a nice send off to Guus Hiddink, for Everton the chance to cap off a [...]

In the build up to that game in Rome, I haven’t had a chance to pass on my congratulations to Burnley, who after winning the Championship play off add to the Lancashire based teams in England’s top division, and get to spend (at least) a season with the big boys.
I say the “big boys”, [...]

Take Newcastle for instance, after a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford how many would have predicted the disastrous season they’ve endured? Not I, and neither would [...]

My God, they’ve had a roller-coaster season. And today Newcastle United found themselves condemned to Championship football after losing to Aston Villa. Middlesbrough join the Toon in the second tier, and despite Hull and Sunderland both suffering final day defeats, it was enough to keep them in the top flight.
The turmoil at Newcastle this season [...]

So, Man United have won the league, and with the Champions League final just three days after a trip to Hull, its fair to say that United will not field a full strength team against Hull. There could be a bit of a storm brewing though, as Hull are entangled in a bit of a [...]
One Down: But Who Will Join West Brom in the Championship
By: Rob | 5 Comments
So farewell, West Brom, it was nice having you. Any attempt to stay up using good football, with brilliant fans (they sang and cheered their hearts out as their side went down to Liverpool for example) is alright by me. Maybe we’ll see you again soon.
It just wasn’t as effective as Stoke’s Wimbledon-circa-1987 football. [...]

During another of my many moments of having little to do, I had the idea that it wouldn’t hurt profiling each promoted side that will soon grace the Premier League. We know two of those sides already, the two automatically promoted sides Wolves and Birmingham. We recently found out who will compete in the Coca-Cola [...]
