Wow, really not a good week in Brazil.....

and the ref blows the final whistle to bring week 21s games to a close with some decisive results it would seem, short roundup to follow as I have to go out shortly...

Premiership

Watford 48 +30 CHAMPIONS
Charlton 44 +14
Man City 36 +20
Newcastle 30 -3
Villa 29 +1
Liverpool 29 -2
Arsenal 27 -4

Watford are the Champions after a fine win at Maine Road coupled to Charlton's defeat at Fulham and it is well deserved as Phil lifts another Premiership title. Thankfully Tom's FA Cup winners pushed him all the way and made it interesting.

Another good week for Lazio in Italy, especially with Ancona losing to Milan. Top of the table!!!!
Not sure if a point is enough to keep Ruzomberok top and another poor week for the Villa.

Top work Phil. A huge season at Vicarage Road.

Well done Phil

Serie A

Lazio 48 +39
Ancona 47 +29
AC Milan 46 +28
Inter Milan 43 +12

Ancona's defeat at AC Milan has cost them top spot this week as Lazio surge to the top with just one game left a match at home to Ancona and what a game that should be, although they did rely on three penalties from the boot of Pandev this week...

Scotland

Celtic 52 +35
St Johnstone 50 +26
Hibs 42 +9
Inverness 40 +37

Well the Saints won to close the gap on the leaders but it may have been too little too late as Celtic's last game is at home to Dundee United where they are yet to drop a point and have conceded only four goals...

MLS

Cosmos 53 +48
Chicago 52 +25
Tampa 50 +33
Harrisburg 49 +25 deposed Champions.

A win in Kansas next week and Cosmos will regain their league winners title in what has been a very exciting and close run season in America...

Cup win aside, a real disappointing week.  Shame the race doesn't go to the last day but congrats to Phil for a phenomenal season.  Benefit of having a lot of superstars who have been together for a very long time.  Jamie always asks still how his team is getting on.

Gonna be tough next year again but hopefully we can put together another challenge, maybe one day it will happen.  Fans still remember my first season of relegation to the depths of League 2 so more than happy with the season this year, onwards and upwards....

What a tense end to the season!! 

What a great run in Tom, kept pushing me! Think Tom is the only person to inflict a defeat in the league this season to Watford so very worthy runners up! Bring on next season. 

Is this the first English Treble? Fine season for Watford.

Championship

Spurs 50 +41 Promoted as winners.
Chelsea 46 +35 Promoted.
------
Westham 40 +19
Soton 34 +8
Wednesday 32 +6
Burnley 32 +4
------
Wycombe 29 -9

Almost decided here. Wednesday have a home game against struggling Oldham next week whilst Wycombe's home tie against Chelsea and Burnley's game at Forest take on extra significance...

Congrats Phil! Great season.
Unlucky Tom, that sending off didn't help!

English Trebles...

Mark with Newcastle in season 10 FA Cup, Cup Winners Cup and World Club Cup.
Geoff with Man City in season 25 League, FA Cup and Champions Cup.

A few people have come close, Dave Cowe with Middlesbrough, Henrik Olsen with Birmingham, David Brown with Chelsea and Lee Harrison with Leeds, who all won two trophies and a runners-up spot, but it is certainly a rarity but a bit easier now with the introduction of the League Cup competition.

Congrats Phil - great effort.

As for Plymouth - looks like only a win will save them from relegation - massive week next week - Home vs Liverpool...

Think Paul called me an 'unlucky' manager a season ago. Think he was just being kind.
Still hoping for the luck to change one day though.....

Wow, amazed by this!  What has happened at Plymouth this season??

Have any Champions been relegated the following season Paul?  (Sorry Ben)

Honestly hope you stay up, league wouldn't be the same without you.

No Champions have yet been relegated from the Premiership the next season.

Hopefully not the first then....

I blame Ashley Cole.

Not a clue tbh - keep conceding goals late on... losing at home against teams I should be beating isn't helping either

Plymouth need a massive overhaul but hopefully can do so from the PL and not the Championship - if the board decide to keep me on that is...
