Subject: 2010-11 in English soccer

Written By: Bobo on 06/29/10 at 7:43 pm

I let the last one go dead, I think. I'm not very good at keeping up with things..!

Two managerial changes in the Premiership, as Avram Grant comes into West Ham United, and Rafael Benitez leaves Liverpool. Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion make immediate returns to the Premier League, having been relegated in the 2008-09 season - while Blackpool will join them. The Premier League kicks off on August 14.

The Championship season begins on Friday August 6, while League One and League Two begin on the 7th. Stevenage Borough and Oxford United make their return to league football.

More thoughts later.

Tottenham powered through the rain and on towards the group stage of the Champions League as they led Young Boys Bern 4-0 in the closing minutes of their qualifying second leg at White Hart Lane - and thus 6-3 on aggregate.

Peter Crouch scored a hat-trick. He headed home in the fifth minute, again on the hour and from an 80th-minute penalty after Gareth Bale had been tripped. Jermain Defoe scored Spurs' second in the 32nd minute.

Spurs, who had lost 3-2 in Switzerland a week earlier, thus progressed to the draw for the group stage which is being held by UEFA in Monte Carlo on Thursday evening.

Manchester City lose 3-1 at Lech Poznan in Europa League - their third straight defeat


Man City lost to Wolves (my team) 2-1 recently. Someone said despite the money ploughed into them, Man City are playing like 11 individuals not as a team and I agree. What can you expect from a team when money is the only motivation for a footballer to be there?

Oh, I don't like Wayne Rooney from Manchester Utd either. The guy 'blackmails' (whether this is right or not) Alex Ferguson into doubling his weekly pay to £190,000 a week and all he had done up until that point in the season was score a penalty kick! The big laugh was when Rooney signed that big contract, he was guaranteed not to play for at least a month because he was injured! The guy represents everything that is bad about English football right now. His messing with prostitutes while his wife is pregnant, his abysmal performance and his lack of pride at the World Cup this year says it all. I'm sure his agents are saying "milk it while you can, lad" because I will be quite surprised if Ferguson doesn't transfer him by the end of the year.

Interesting match today for Wolves?


It's been a hurricane month for Wolves hitting the big players like Chelsea (only lost 2-0 not a bad result), Man City (as mentioned beat them 2-1), Man Utd and I think we have Arsenal coming up soon too. Wolves have showed that they don't care who the big players are, they will not be intimidated. Mick McCarthy is a tough manager to crack and I hope Doyle, Edwards and Jarvis will see us through the 90 mins.

"Wolves at home five days before the big derby against City - sounds ideal for Manchester United? Yes and no. Yes, because Wolves have not won at Old Trafford for 30 years. No, because Mick McCarthy's side are in good form and outplayed City last week. Prediction? A victory for entertainment."

From BBC Sport's David Garrido at Old Trafford: A dramatic-sounding fanfare to accompany the players on to the pitch here... and as you'd expect a huge cheer for Owen Hargreaves and as he gets his first touch on his first start for United in 777 days... is that a lucky omen?

It's been a hurricane month for Wolves hitting the big players like Chelsea (only lost 2-0 not a bad result), Man City (as mentioned beat them 2-1), Man Utd and I think we have Arsenal coming up soon too. Wolves have showed that they don't care who the big players are, they will not be intimidated. Mick McCarthy is a tough manager to crack and I hope Doyle, Edwards and Jarvis will see us through the 90 mins.
Is it looking good?

Wolves are causing Manchester United a few problems down the left. Matt Jarvis is looking lively, again, and Kevin Doyle is buzzing around on the same flank.

Arsenal goal: Everton now have a mountain to climb. Denilson has been on the ball impressively at the start of the half and he flicks a pass through into the box for Marouane Chamakh - from his lay-off, Cesc Fabregas fires a shot from 15 yards into the far corner past Tim Howard's despairing dive.

GOAL:

Chelsea 0-1 Sunderland (Onuoha)
Sunderland goal: That's a goal that will live long, long in the memory and my word do the Black Cats deserve it. Paulo Ferreira fails to cut out another pass forward and Asamoah Gyan and Kieran Richardson both force brilliant save from Petr Cech. But the ball comes out to Nedum Onuoha - from 35 yards out, he goes on a sensational run forward, jinking his way Messi-esque around three defenders and keeping his cool wonderfully to slot into the far corner. That's incredible.

The Black Cats carve Chelsea open as Danny Welbeck finds Jordan Henderson and he slips a pass in to Asamoah Gyan - the Ghana striker gets into the box and, cool as you like, slots nonchalantly past Petr Cech. The visiting fans are in dreamland.

They give it away in midfield but Wayne Routledge is dispossessed by Jon Mikel Obi - only when Alex tries to pass it back to Petr Cech, he doesn't know the keeper has raced off his line and the ball rolls past Cech, allowing Andy Carroll to sprint past him and knock into the empty net. Crikey.

Magpies is Newcastle's nickname because they play in a black and white shirt.

GOAL:

Chelsea goal: You know, they probably deserve that, the Blues. There's pressure on the Newcastle defence and eventually the visitors find a way through as Florent Malouda flicks the ball to Salomon Kalou in the Magpies box, he turns on to his right foot and fires in a shot that takes a deflection off Jose Enrique and flies past Tim Krul. Level pegging.

Missed penalty: I just do not understand some things in football. Gareth Bale's free-kick hits the Liverpool wall - well, David Ngog has his hands above his head and it hits them, so Martin Atkinson gives a spot-kick. The Reds players are furious, but it's silly from Ngog. Jermain Defoe steps up and shoots wide of Pepe Reina's right-hand post. Silly Ngog, silly Defoe. Still Spurs 0-1 Liverpool.

West Ham are celebrating for a full minute before referee Mark Clattenburg sees the linesman's flag is raised. And, I tell you what, it looks a fine decision. Victor Obinna, on the break, slams home from 20 yards via a huge deflection - and the deflection is off team-mate Jonathan Spector, who was clearly offside. Remarkable.

West Ham, unsurprisingly, are still fuming and manager Avram Grant is given a stern talking to after he petulantly throws the ball away when it goes out of play. It did take linesman Mike Bull a ridiculously long time to raise his flag for that one, for me. I repeat, though, with hindsight it looks a good decision.

BLACKBURN v WOLVES
Chief football writer Phil McNulty reports: "Contrasting tasks for Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce and his Wolves counterpart Mick McCarthy at Ewood Park today. Allardyce will want to swiftly banish memories of the 7-1 thrashing at Manchester United, their heaviest top-flight loss in 63 years, while McCarthy will want to maintain the momentum gathered by the late goals that gave them a crucial win against Sunderland at Molineux, ending a run of four straight defeats. By the way, conditions will be interesting - it has been raining heavily this morning on all the snow lying around Ewood Park."

But Gunners fans will pray they can imitate Scrooge while bidding to avoid a third straight home defeat for the first time since 1977. Fulham, though, no Phileas Fogg! South-west London's wretched travellers have not won away since the opening day of last season. Defeat could sink them into the relegation zone-of-doom. So boss Mark Hughes will be desperate to clock only his third win since taking over. Intriguing…"

Julian Shea reports: "Wigan could do with a morale-boosting result against Stoke, following their Carling Cup exit at the hands of Arsenal and a Premier League defeat at bottom club West Ham this week. Victor Moses's long injury lay-off and Hugo Rodallega's suspension add to their worries of being third from bottom of the table and the lowest scoring side in the Premier League. Eighth-place Stoke are unbeaten in their last three visits to Wigan, and come in on a run of three wins in their last four games. Marc Wilson is suspended and Andy Wilkinson (knee) and Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) both need late fitness tests."

MAN CITY v BOLTON
Chris Bevan reports: "Friday's training ground dust-up between Mario Balotelli and Jerome Boateng may have made the headlines but of far greater concern for Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is his side's lack of goals at home. It is four hours and 45 minutes since they last scored in the Premier League at Eastlands, a run which is beginning to be reminiscent of the end of the 2006/07 season when Stuart Pearce's City side failed to score in their last nine home games of the campaign. Bolton arrive in far brighter mood, with manager and player of the month awards in the bag for Owen Coyle and striker Johan Elmander, and this is a chance for them to show City that they are serious, if unlikely, rivals for a Champions League berth."

Liverpool goal: Ah. Back to square one for Alan Pardew, but is should be said his side are very unlucky to concede this equaliser. A hoisted through-ball hits a back-pedalling Sol Campbell and drops into the path of Dirk Kuyt, who surges into the area before letting fly with a shot that takes a huge deflection off Steven Taylor and rolls agonisingly past Tim Krul and into the opposite corner of the net.

Andy Carroll, who has been superb in the air today, flicks on Tim Krul's clearance and, with Nile Ranger doing enough to put off the Liverpool defence, Joey Barton ghosts in to prod the bouncing ball past the onrushing Pepe Reina and into the net, via the far post.

Alexander Hleb is on the bench.

"A win for Arsenal at the DW Stadium would send them level on points with Manchester United and Manchester City, but Arsene Wenger's side must win by five clear goals to top the table going into 2011.

The chances of Mick McCarthy's men staging a repeat look thinner than a catwalk model, with injury-ravaged Wolves bottom of the table and without an away league win since March. Liverpool have won their last four at Anfield, have talisman Steven Gerrard back from injury, and will be champing at the bit after two successive postponements."

Yet stereotype-defying entertainers Bolton, who could leapfrog the champions into fifth place with victory, are men in remarkable form."

Wigan goal: I'm not really sure how to explain this. Charles N'Zogbia goes on a mazy run at the Arsenal defence, jinking in-between Abou Diaby and Laurent Koscielny, and when he gets past them he tumbles on the edge of the penalty area. In normal time it looks like a penalty, but in slo-mo it looks live a horrific dive. Ben Watson steps up and slots it into the corner. Advantage to the relegation-threatened team.

Chelsea goal: From out of nowhere, Chelsea are ahead. Frank Lampard hoists the ball into the box and, in trying to reach it, James Collins clambers over Florent Malouda. Penalty? Yes, according to referee Lee Mason who, to the anger of the Villa players, points to the spot. Lampard steps up to hammer home the penalty past Brad Friedel. A bit harsh on Villa, who have been the better team so far.

They looked likely to lose but then were odds on to win... so a draw will be a big disappointment.

If they are to maintain that almost unblemished record, Owen Coyle's injury-hit side will have to do so without a raft of absentees. That should offer some encouragment to Wigan, who are looking to bounce back from the home defeat against Newcastle on Sunday which ended their four-game unbeaten run. A draw looks a distinct possibility."

BOLTON v WIGAN
"With his Bolton squad severely depleted by injury and other factors, Owen Coyle is once again able to muster just four of the permitted seven substitutes. That means only one change to the side that lost 2-1 at Anfield, with Paul Robinson returning from suspension at the expense of Marcos Alonso. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez make three changes. Maynor Figueroa and James McArthur start, while Chris Kirkland starts in goal in place of Ali Al-Habsi, who is on loan from Bolton and ineligible to play against his parent club."

RED CARD

NEWCASTLE Tiote sent off, now down to ten men.
Newcastle red card: He might have got away with that penalty decision a few minutes ago but he's not got away with that. Newcastle substitute Cheik Tiote lunges in off the ground at Jon Ashton around halfway and referee Andre Marriner brandishes a straight red card. It was reckless... though Toon fans may argue it wasn't at the player and that the midfielder got the ball. Either way, it's massive advantage Stevenage now.

Manchester United v Liverpool scene-setter:
"King Kenny's return as Liverpool boss has got their fans buzzing and changes the complexion of what was already a much-anticipated Cup-tie between the fiercest rivals in English football. In his programme notes, Sir Alex Ferguson talks about taking on his friend Roy Hodgson - his sacking on Saturday means Fergie is up against an old enemy in Dalglish instead. Will the Reds revival start here? I suppose Old Trafford would probably be the perfect place."

"Manchester United make three changes from their midweek win over Stoke, with Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans in for Nemanja Vidic and Chris Smalling in the centre of defence and Michael Carrick replacing Darron Gibson in midfield. Kenny Dalglish's first Liverpool team since February 1991 sees him make five changes from Roy Hodgson's last game in charge, that miserable defeat at Blackburn on Wednesday. Glen Johnson's wife has gone into labour so he drops out and Martin Kelly takes over at right-back. Elsewhere in defence, Fabio Aurelio and Daniel Agger replace Paul Konchesky and Sotiros Kyrgiakos while Dirk Kuyt and Raul Meireles come into a four-man midfield and, with Fernando Torres operating as a lone striker, David Ngog is dropped and Steven Gerrard will operate in the space behind him."

"Forget Chelsea's recent Premier League setbacks, if the holders were to lose against Ipswich this afternoon, it would be one of the worst shocks seen at Stamford Bridge since John Dempsey's combover. The Blues have gone 13 games unbeaten in the Cup, and the chance of masterminding a third successive trophy win - a feat last accomplished by Blackburn in 1886 - should offer a welcome change of focus for embattled club manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ipswich, who parted company with manager Roy Keane this week, will be seeking a first victory in SW6 since 1979."

Leicester v Manchester City scene-setter:
"The last time these two teams met was a Premier League fixture in April 2004. Since then Sven-Goran Eriksson has come and gone as manager of Manchester City and is now in charge at Leicester. Eriksson managed current Man City boss Roberto Mancini for eight years at Sampdoria and Lazio before the striker arrived in England for a brief spell at, you guessed it, Leicester. The big-spending Premier League side should defeat their Championship opponents. But should is often a redundant word in the FA Cup."

West Ham v Arsenal scene-setter:
"Rarely has a manager led a team in more awkward circumstances… but despite the fevered Martin O'Neill speculation, Avram Grant is still the man in charge of bottom-of-the-table West Ham for this evening's massive London derby against title-chasing Arsenal. A win would take the Hammers out of the drop zone, but will their players be motivated to fight for a boss tipped to be sacked after the match? Grant is unlikely to get any favours from a Gunners side desperate to bounce back from a wobbly week in the cups."

RED CARD

SENDING OFF Rafael, Manchester United
Rafael looked like a sending off waiting to happen, and now he's gone. He's unlucky though - he was tracking back trying to catch Benoit Assou-Ekotto and must have caught the full-back's heels, bringing him down and earning a second yellow card.

MAN CITY v LEICESTER
"Two-and-a-half years after being told he wasn't a good enough manager for them and a week-and-a-bit after holding them to a 2-2 draw, Sven Goran Eriksson returns to Manchester City looking to right both wrongs. If his Leicester team play with the same enterprise at the Eastlands as they did in the original tie they may well pull of a shock. However, the odds remain stacked against them. Even if, as expected, Manchester City rotate their starting XI it is still likely to include a host of players who cost eight-figure fees. And with Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini having played under Sven at both Lazio and Sampdoria they also have a man with added motive at the helm."

"West Ham make one change to the team which beat Blackpool in midweek. Kiwi defender Winston Reid comes in for the injured Danny Gabbidon. For Birmingham, Alex McLeish names an unchanged side to the one that drew with Manchester City but there is no room in the squad for new signing Obafemi Martins, who is still waiting on clearance to play."

WEST HAM v BIRMINGHAM (1330)
"Very debatable whether this game is more important than the last time these two teams met in the Carling Cup semi-finals last month. The second leg - where Birmingham sealed a Wembley spot - was a stormer, but West Ham won 2-1 at home in the first tie, courtesy of a Ben Foster howler. Both teams are in the relegation zone and a win for either will see them leapfrog Wigan and West Brom. West Ham will look to their in-form striker Victor Obinna."

West Brom goal: The Baggies are rampant. Another neat build-up ends when Marc-Antoine Fortune tees up Jerome Thomas inside the box, and he has time to pick his spot and stroke the ball home into the bottom corner of the net.

Blackpool 0-1 Aston Villa (Agbonlahor)
Villa goal: A swift break sees Darren Bent slip Gabriel Agbonlahor clear, and he rounds Richard Kingson before, only just, slotting home. His shot actually went through the legs of Ian Evatt who had got back to the line in an attempt to cover. That is the 50th Premier League goal that Blackpool have conceded this season.

Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United (Lampard, penalty)
Chelsea goal: Hmm. Now, neutrals will be pretty pleased about that, but I'm not sure it was a penalty. Frank Lampard is on the left of the area and he tries to feed Yuri Zhirkov - the Russian manages to sneak the ball through Chris Smalling's legs and goes down under a challenge from the defender - but I'm not sure Smalling could really have got out of the way.

GOAL

Arsenal 4-0 Leyton Orient (Bendtner, hat-trick)
Arsenal goal: You hope for the O's that it doesn't get embarrassing, because they've played pretty well tonight. But Kieran Gibbs turns on the turbo and gets into the Orient box and Alex Revell brings him down. It's a clear penalty and there's only one taker as Nicklas Bendtner steps up and slams it to Jamie Jones' right, completing his hat-trick in the process.

West Brom goal: Now that's a half-time substitution. Peter Odemwingie has a decisive say on proceedings almost immediately - after one Baggies attack is cleared by Ben Foster, the ball comes back out to the Nigerian, who pokes it forward for Youssouf Mulumbu, and he prods neatly over Foster from just inside the area.

Man City goal: Oh dear. Oh dear me. It's dictionary definition of the word 'Howler', that one. If Wigan do such things, Ali Al Habsi will be wearing a pink t-shirt to training for the next month. David Silva does well to create room on the left of the box to fire in a shot but it's low and straight at the keeper, who has clearly never been taught the 'long barrier', and allows the ball to slip through his grasp and trickle into the net. Calamitous.

RED CARD

Arsenal's Robin van Persie
Arsenal red card: Harsh this, to say the least. Robin van Persie chases a ball over the top but he is marginally offside. He doesn't know it, though, and goes for goal - smashing his shot wide. According to referee Massimo Busacca, that is time-wasting and that means a second yellow card for the Dutchman. A stupid decision. Arsenal must play the last 25 minutes with 10 men.

MISSED PENALTY, STOKE (Etherington)
Missed penalty: what a start to the second half. Mike Jones takes centre stage again as the referee gives a penalty when Matthew Etherington goes down under Scott Parker's challenge in the box after a burst straight from the kick-off. Just as in the first half, for me he's got it wrong - it looked a dive. Robert Green, however, pulls off a super stop to his left from Etherington's spot-kick, and we remain level.

Stoke goal: It's a first FA Cup goal for Danny Higginbotham and Stoke lead again. West Ham are not happy about the award of the free-kick for a handball in the wall - but Higginbotham cares not as he slams it through the wall, low, and even though Rob Green gets a hand to it the power of the strike sees it home.

MAN CITY v READING
"Man City have captain Carlos Tevez in attack in their starting line-up and the return of Nigel de Jong in midfield is a big bonus for coach Roberto Mancini. Mario Balotelli, who apparently suffered from an allergy to grass in the Europa League defeat away to Dynamo Kiev, is on the bench - alongside Edin Dzeko and Gareth Barry. Reading are struggling in defence with centre-back Matt Mills out injured so midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson will drop into the back four. Jem Karacan, also a midfielder, will play at right-back with Jobi McAnuff skipper."

TOTTENHAM v WEST HAM
"Gareth Bale makes his first start since 22 January after a back injury and is one of two changes from the Tottenham side that started against AC Milan in the Champions League last time out. Bale replaces Steven Pienaar on the left wing, while Jermain Defoe is preferred to Peter Crouch up front and will be supported by Rafael van der Vaart. There are three changes to the West Ham team beaten at Stoke in the FA Cup - Lars Jacobsen gets the nod ahead of James Tomkins at right-back, Gary O'Neill comes in for Victor Obinna on the right of midfield and Demba Ba deputises for Frederic Piquionne in attack."

A goal and now a man down, after Aaron Lennon's illness/injury too. Could Tottenham's evening have gone any worse so far?

BLACKPOOL v ARSENAL (1330 BST)
Chief football writer Phil McNulty reports from Bloomfield Road: "Glorious sunshine by the seaside as Arsenal visit Blackpool. Arsene Wenger's frustration at his side's recent collapse was on show at his pre-match briefing on Friday. Victory is essential for The Gunners today and the optimists will point out that if they win their two games in hand on Manchester United the deficit at the top of the Premier League will only be four points.

Blackpool have lost 10 of 14 Premier League games since the turn of year, but this is the first of a sequence of home games that will surely shape their fate this season."

Arsenal 1-0 Liverpool (Van Persie pen)
Arsenal goal: Staggering. Seven minutes into stoppage time and Jay Spearing ends Cesc Fabregas's mazy run into the box with a trip - it's a blatant penalty - and eight minutes into stoppage time Robin van Persie keeps his head to steer home the spot-kick. The Emirates erupts and the title race is back on in a big, big way.

Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool (Kuyt pen)
Liverpool goal: Speechless. As the clock ticks over the 100th minute, Liverpool's Luis Suarez swings a free-kick in from the edge of the area and as the ball bobbles around the Arsenal box Emmanuel Eboue inexplicably hauls Lucas down in the box. Referee Andre Marriner gives his second penalty of injury time and Dirk Kuyt slams it home with the very last kick of the game. Extra, extraordinary.

BREAKING TEAM NEWS FROM THE REEBOK STADIUM
Arsenal's only change is Jack Wilshere's return, in place of Abou Diaby, after the England midfielder was rested for Wednesday's trip to White Hart Lane. For Bolton, Matt Taylor and Daniel Sturridge are back in Owen Coyle's starting XI. More on all of this very shortly.

Yellow Card

Fabrice Muamba is booked for a tackle on Jack Wilshere. Yes, it was a foul. But a booking? Never. It was his first offence, and not a bad one.

GOALFLASH

Bolton 1-0 Arsenal (Sturridge)
Bolton goal: It had been coming. Daniel Sturridge sets up Chung-Yong Lee with a clever little chip but Wojciech Szczesny spreads himself to make a point-blank save. Wanderers don't have to wait long to find the net, though. When the resulting corner comes in, Gary Cahill's header may or may not cross the line before being blocked but Sturridge follows up to make sure. If it is given to the on-loan Chelsea man, it is his seventh in nine games for Bolton.

Fabrice Muamba concedes a free-kick on the edge of the area and this is Robin van Persie territory. The Dutchman steps up to fire it goalwards... but sends the ball a mile over Jussi Jaaskelainen's bar. Disappointing.

MISSED PENALTY by Bolton (Szczesny saves from Davies)
Bolton missed penalty: Let's get one thing straight: This is never a penalty. Johan Djourou makes the slightest of contact with Daniel Sturridge when he bursts into the box, but the Bolton striker gors to ground. Mike Jones points to the spot, but justice is done because Wojciech Szczesny keeps out Kevin Davies' tame effort.

The Tottenham goal: KABOOM! Wow, you quite literally don't save those. The ball falls to Tottenham's defensive midfielder Sandro 30 yards out and the Brazilian takes a touch before spanking an absolute stunner into Petr Cech's top corner. What a way to bag your first for the club.

Chelsea goal: MASSIVE controversy. Frank Lampard lets fly with a speculative shot from 30 yards that Heurelho Gomes lets slip through his legs before scrambling back to apparently save on the line. Confusion reigns until a goal is eventually given - but replays suggest not all the ball cross the goalline! It was awful from Gomes... but I have to say Spurs have got very unlucky there.

David Silva collects the ball 25 yards out after Sylvain Distin dives in and doesn't get the ball, the Spaniard gets into the box, slips a pass for Yaya Toure on his right and the midfielder fires his shot into the far corner past Tim Howard.

GOALFLASH:

Newcastle 1-0 Birmingham (Ameobi, pen)
Newcastle goal: Carnage inside the Blues box and they pay a heavy double price for it in the end. Fabricio Coloccini's header is going goalwards when Liam Ridgewell goes up to clear and the ball hits his arm - Kevin Nolan tries to pounce, but before he can get his head on to the ball Ridgewell has cleared with his arm again. He is sent off, and Shola Ameobi steps up to slot the penalty past Ben Foster.

GOALFLASH:

Tottenham 1-1 Blackpool (Defoe)
Spurs goal: Haha, what do I know? They need another one, but it's a start. Jermain Defoe picks the ball up 30 yards out, moves forward and absolutely lashes a right-foot shot into the bottom right-hand corner of Matt Gilks' net. Brilliant finish.

That's the end of the regular season in the Championship, League One, and League Two. And here is the situation as things stand.

Directly promoted from the Championship are Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City. Teams three through six, Swansea, Cardiff, Reading, and Notts Forest, will play double-legged play-off semi-finals to determine who gets into the final, the winner of which will get into the Premiership.

Relegated from the Championship, Preston North End, Sheffield United, and Scúnthorpe United, each of whom finished with 42 points from 46 games.

Directly promoted from League One, my home team of Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as Southampton. Play-off contenders this time around are Huddersfield, Peterborough United, who scored a league best 106 goals, MK Dons, and Bournemouth,

Relegated from League One, Dagenham and Redbridge, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle, who were docked ten points earlier in the season, and Swindon Town.

Directly promoted from League Two are Chesterfield, Bury, and Wycombe Wanderers, while playoff contenders are Shrewsbury Town, Accrington Stanley, Stevenage, and Torquay United. Sadly Shrewsbury's last day league win was not enough to give them automatic promotion as thirteenth-placed Southend United were not able to hand Wycombe the defeat that we wanted them to...

And March 19 could have changed it all for us, as a shot which clearly did not go over the line was allowed for our opponents on that day, Wycombe Wanderers.

Relegated to the Blue Square Premier for next season are Lincoln City and Stockport County.

"West Brom are safe from relegation and their fans would take great delight in celebrating their top-flight survival by helping send their struggling Black Country rivals down. West Brom are the form team of the two with 17 points from 30, while Wolves, who can lift themselves out of the drop zone with a win, have 10 points from 10 games.

Wolves goal: I think the roof just came off Molineux. The hosts have their most precious lead of the season - and they need to keep it. They win a corner when Jamie O'Hara's 25-yard free-kick forces a save from Scott Carson, but when the corner comes in West Brom's marking it woeful, allowing Adlene Guedioura to chest the ball down for Steven Fletcher to smash home from six yards.

Blackburn goal: Good grief, not leaving much time for FA Cup final build-up, are they? Moments after a hairy moment for Tomasz Kuszczak from a backpass, United fall behind. Brett Emerton crosses from the right and Kuszczak helps it on its way out wide, but it doesn't go behind. Martin Olsson retrieves the ball and plays a one-two, sending over a ball to the far post that Emerton sweeps in at the far post.

"Wembley is awash with a real old-fashioned FA Cup final feel as supporters of Manchester City and Stoke City swarm around the stadium. Two great old clubs and two passionate sets of fans hoping to end the barren years without a major trophy. Roberto Mancini has assured Manchester City of Champions League football next season and now hopes to secure their first big prize since the League Cup win against Newcastle United in 1976. Stoke won the same trophy against Chelsea in 1972 - but victory here would represent the greatest day in their history."

CHELSEA v NEWCASTLE
To quote Nick Cave, 'Faraway, So Close'. Last year's title winners, Chelsea, didn't become serious challengers to Manchester United until these final two months and even then they were hoping for their rivals to suffer the jitters, which, as expected, never happened. Motty came up with this golden nugget in the preview, stating that the Blues have only managed 67 goals this season compared to 103 during the previous campaign - that stat tells the tale. Newcastle are snug on the mid-table sofa. The early season dramas seem a distant memory and the fans will be hoping (and praying) for no more in the future.

GOALFLASH

Wigan 0-1 West Ham (Ba)
West Ham goal: The Hammers are alive and kicking. One heck of a goalmouth scramble ends with Jack Collison's shot which is blocked, but the ball is quickly played back into the danger zone by Thomas Hitzlsperger for Demba Ba to net with a close-range glancing header.

GOALFLASH

Arsenal 0-1 Aston Villa (Bent)
Aston Villa goal: Villa's goal is nothing more than they deserve after starting the game much sharper than the hosts. Kyle Walker's chipped through-ball is inch-perfect for Darren Bent, who controls the ball on his chest and volleys over the advancing Wojciech Szczesny.

GOALFLASH:

Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa (Bent)
Aston Villa goal: Arsenal's implosion continues. Thomas Vermaelen's slip gives Ashley Young the space to pick out Darren Bent, again, who runs through to extend Villa's lead. Terrible defending by the Gunners, even with Vermaelen back in action.

West Ham goal: It still might not be enough to keep them up, but West Ham have breathing space. Thomas Hitzlsperger's free-kick is headed back across goal by James Tomkins and Demba Ba runs in to bundle it home.

Two from five teams are facing relegation from the Premier League as the season reaches its climax on Sunday.
ISSUES TO BE DECIDED

No 1: Relegation
Five teams, one point between them, two relegation places to be decided. For Wigan, Blackpool, Birmingham, Wolves and Blackburn, 'Squeaky-Bum Time' barely does today any justice at all.

ISSUES TO BE DECIDED

No 2: Race for Third
Only a couple of months ago, Arsenal were challenging on four fronts and bag in the hunt for the Premier League title. Now, they need a slip up from Manchester City to even finish inside the top three. FA Cup winners City lead Arsenal by a point going into the last day, meaning Arsenal have to better the Eastlanders result at Bolton when they travel to Fulham if they are to snatch third and that all-important automatic Champions League qualifying place. Fourth spot, lest we forget, earns clubs only a place in the final qualifying. Tense.

ISSUES TO BE DECIDED

No 3: Race for Fifth
Ah yes, the Europa League. Very much the ugly sister of European cup competition. Still, though, better than a smack in the chops many would argue - and it has come down to Tottenham or Liverpool, the former in the prime seats having stolen a march on the Reds with victory at Anfield last week. As with Man City and Arsenal, if Tottenham match or better Liverpool's result later, fifth and Europa League qualification is theirs. Who said 'poisoned chalice'?

ISSUES TO BE DECIDED

No 4: The Fair Play League
Not the most celubrious of issues, but a potentially crucial one for the likes of Fulham and Tottenham. Following the announcement from Uefa that England, Norway and Sweden have topped their fair play rankings, and that each country will therefore be awarded an extra Europa League spot, whoever ends today top of the rankings and has not already qualified for Europe slips in through the back door. That rules out Chelsea, currently top, and but not necessarily Tottenham and Fulham, second and third. A warning though: whoever reaches Europe this way faces three two-leg qualifying rounds and a play-off even before the group stages. Ouch.

ISSUES TO BE DECIDED

No 5: Golden Boot Winner
Looks like a shoot-out between Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez, this one - confirming only what we already know; what a season to be a Mancunian huh? Man Utd's Berbatov and Man City's Tevez are both currently on 20 goals, with Darren Bent (Aston Villa) and Robin van Persie (Arsenal) their nearest rivals. Hot-shots.
