Interesting

Well, you can't say relegation ever fails to deliver - it was looking sewn up weeks ago, but as ever the form book goes out the window and teams just seem to gift perfect opportunities to each other

Newcastle rather shockingly lost to Fulham at home, I admit Fulham have been improving on the road of late, and were a bit lucky, but you expect more from a relegation threatened side

And what with Hull gaining one crucial point at Bolton, Newcastle will need to get something from Villa Park, but with Hull facing United it's definitely open to them

But of course, United have lifted the trophy and one game against Hull isn't going to interest them with a Champions League final coming up

Boro are effectively relegated, they need to beat West Ham on the road and overturn two teams with better goal differences...I'll give you a tenner if they manage it

So, it will be an interesting day next week - nobody has been relegated yet, although should West Brom fail to get a point from Liverpool they will be in a few hours

You could barely have written this better (which is more than you can say for the top end) - drama, speculation, Newcastle, goal differences, Middlesboro finally being relegated - it's all there

The main news is of course United's third successive title, and the Beeb are focused on how they did it - seriously what a load of old tripe - had Liverpool not thrown away relatively simple games at home in December and January they would've been champions, they beat United comfortably home and away and still left the door wide open - United needed to go on a massive winning run to overturn the Pool, and they let them! That's it, Liverpool handed it to them
