What an end to an incredible season! Starting at the top, Manchester United sealed their tenth Premier League title with a two goal win at Wigan. Challengers Chelsea could only manage a draw at home to Bolton, in a result that ended up meaningless.
At the bottom, congratulations to Fulham, who pulled off the great escape thanks to Danny Murphy's header against Portsmouth. That result meant irrespective of what Reading and Birmingham could achieve, they would be relegated. Even so both teams won and scored four against Derby and Blackburn respectively.
The other issue yet to be resolved was the UEFA Cup spot. Everton claimed it with victory over Newcastle, meaning Aston Villa had to settle for a InterToto Cup place after drawing at West Ham.
In the day's meaningless games, Tottenham succumbed to a home defeat to Liverpool, while Sunderland also lost at home to Arsenal. If Sven does leave Manchester City this summer, he left on the back of an astonishing 8-1 thumping inflicted by Middlesbrough.
If you think the end of the Premiership spells the end of Blog Of The Season, think again! With the FA Cup Final, Champions League Final and the Championship Play-Offs still be contested, there's a lot more football to be played. And I'll be here to follow it!
