You should control all the relegation threatened teams, not Fulham, Portsmouth or Man United. You should be Norwich, West Brom and Southampton.

I thought of that, but as I want Palace to stay up (obviously), I wanted to be the teams I want to get results in the other matches ,ie Pompey, Fulham and ManU.

I'm happy for West Brom.

They really deserved to stay because of the sheer effort they put in,in the second half of the season.

27 Long Years Of Top Flight Football comes to an end,as Southampton lost to Manure

Hopefully Southampton will win the Championsip next year

I just hope that most their best players won't leave.

Balls to Southampton; every year they flirt with relegation and squeak out of it, this year they're down.


8 minutes...8 minutes; that's all we were from staying up. Still, at least we went down with a fight. At the beginning of the season I said if we're still fighting for our place come the last day of the season we'd have done well, but to get to within 8 minutes of staying up is galling. Thanks to Simon Jordan we bought no major players this season,(Cahill's and Ashton's signings fell through), yet under ID's guidance we still nearly pulled it off. I'm proud to be Palace.
And as for WBA 'deserving to stay up'; the same could be said for all the 3 promoted teams. Thanks to them all we had the closest relegation battle from the Prem for years.

That must be the first time for a while that the team, bottom on the last say, stayed up.
Congrats to WBA.

Gutted for you Mike, but delighted for West Brom and in particular Bryan Robson who had to endure terrible stick during the first part of his mangerial reign at the Hawthorns.

an unbelievable afternoon, all 4 teams at one point or another were safe, it was compelling viewing.

Great end to another season of Premiership football.

I go to a school in west bromwich and my best mate supports the baggies so i expect to be hearing this chant all day.....

easy easy easy easy

Does it matter?:

Only to me! :

Well done Baggies. I had expected them to surely go down.

Also one must praise the efforts of all the four teams that made this year's relegation tussle one of the best and one of the longest lasting ever.
