Well, thats it for another season for the EPL, Man Utd lifting the title again, commiserations to Reading, Birmingham and Derby, and congratulations to Fulham for pulling off a survival battle and staying up. Now we just need to see who is going to be prmotoed to the premiership from the championship from the play offs, Stoke and West Brom already having qualified, Palace, Watford, Hull and Bristol City are the teams battling it out.
Oh, and good luck to Cardiff in the FA Cup final!

and don't forget congratulations to Swansea on getting promoted to the Championship - should make for a couple of cracking all-Wales derby matches next season. Just hope the fans behave!

Man U. did well in winning the league, but will they beat Chelsea in Moscow? I think not.

Very disappointed that Portsmouth let us down by being defeated late in the match by Fulham. I wonder if they deliberately didn't try in order that Reading be relegated leaving them as the only Premiership team in the area outside of London.

Well, Man U did indeed win in Moscow, went to penalties tho, so very close. Hull City and Doncaster Rovers won promotion to the Premier League and the Coca Cola Championship respectively, 104 years after they were founded it is Hull's first ever appearance in top flight football.

I saw that match. Not a bad one, as games go so it was a shame someone had to lose. Just a quick WELL DONE to Munster for beating Toulouse in the rugby. Tipperary, my Country, is part of the Province of Munster

A great shame that such a huge match has to be decided by penalties but that is the rules at the moment. I have to say that all the fans were fantastic and the atmosphere incredible, I just felt so sorry for the Chelsea fans because not only did they lose but they also had to leave the stadium in the middle of the worst rain storm I have seen! Thats luck I suppose it is either with you or against you. Stillo a very memorable occasion and one I will remeber for the rest of!

Chris, you jammy so and so. Fancy you being in Moscow for that final! Good on you for getting there, clearly you are back to yer auld self Yes, it was a shame to see such a good game decided in this manner. One commentator said, "the game ended a draw, the penalties just decided who took the cup home." I agree with those sentiments. I am delighted to hear the fans enjoyed themselves, all the same.

Never mind those small teams!!!! What about Queen of the South getting to the Scottish FA cup final, albeit they got beat but 3-2 is a cracking result. Come on the "Doonhammers" Chris, Galavanting across eastern europe, get to any lodge meetings??

Chris, It was a great day for Scottish football IMHO. I did however watch the game at a friends house with several "golden sweeties" as I gave my allocation of tickets to my sister, brother-in-law and his kids/family. It was a day to remember, but the difference between Chelsea and QoS is that you will probably get to the Champions final again before we get to the Cup final!! If you had seen my sons face when Chelsea were beaten. Needless to say he wasn't a happy boy, and didn't speak the rest of the night. I was warned by my wife not to take the p**s

No Teams from the British Isles so I must say I am not interested. However fair play to Holland, BUT................................ Will the Germans give you back your bicycles! ;D

Great game tonight, thought Holland deserved their win, totally outplayed a very flat and defensively weak Italian side

France against Romania was a poor starter for me. Hopefully they'll pick up their game as the tournament progresses.
Vive La France!
