The Football.....

Tranmere relegated from League 2 to the Conference after 94 years of league status, quite sad even though I don't support them.

It means there will be another Merseyside derby next season when Tranmere play Southport.

Congratulations to Bournemouth who are all but promoted to the premier league.

I particularly enjoyed Charlton's Tweet about giving them a 19-0 hiding at the weekend.

Chat about the Premier League being the best in the world is absolute rubbish. The Chmpionship is where it's at. Two teams in the mix to win it, four teams in contention for two playoff places. That's proper competition.

If Middlesbrough could win 10-0 and Charlton win 9-0 it could be entirely feasible!

I always feel sorry for the third placed team in the Championship.... they slog all season and then some team miles behind them all season has a couple of good games and gets promoted. Still if the Smoggies are worth their place they'll get through.

I'd like to see Boro back up. I have a weird soft spot for them, probably because of their delusions about derbies here. That said, there might not be any given the dire efforts of Newcastle and Sunderland!

And the prize for that is a year of misery among the big boys, getting thumped every week and going straight back down again.

So they shouldn't bother trying to win?

They'll do their best as usual, but it'll be an FA Cup Final every week!

Well yes, the odds are against them, but Swansea have shown that it's possible for a small club to compete in the PL on a long-term basis.

Well done Bournemouth & Boscombe

Remember Ted MacDougall?

I do.

We were unfortunate enough to be stuck with him at West Ham for a while after he'd bombed at Man U. He couldn't cut it in the top division.

Norwich is unofficially my second team (after Spurs) and I'd like to see them win the play-off. It'll be tough.

Any of the four teams have a genuine chance of promotion: it depends on who plays the best football AND keep their nerve.

Great ...... we have Wigan to contend with next season with an £8m cheque before they even kick a ball.

14/15 WTF? Nice to see the club splash out on a professional backdrop.....
