Bugger me. How's it not level?

What a flipping game!

Can we not just promote both teams please? We'll give you Stoke in return...?

Unbelivable stuff, Jeff!

Rather see both of these in the PL instead of Wigan, Blackburn or Stoke.

Wigan try to play football. I'll give you Blackburn and Stoke though.
I've always been torn on Wigan. I hugely admire Martinez and Whelan especially but the bottom line for me is that a club that can't pull in a decent crowd after six years in the top flight shouldn't be in the league.

Blackburn play increasingly decent stuff under Kean. Watch them next season, they'll surprise you.

Not as good as either of these, mind. So sad that one of the sets of fans will end up in tears. Hope whichever team doesn't go up goes one better next season, along with Cardiff and Middlesbrough.

You could say the same for Bolton too. Can't get rid of them all unfortunately.

And if a team is good enough to stay up, then they deserve to be in the league, even if they had a dozen fans at each game.

...scored.

Well done Swansea. And great composure from Sinclair.

Deserved, although Reading were partly responsible for their own downfall, giving away 2 stupid penalties. Good to see another team get a chance at the big time.

Nice to see Rodgers not milking it and commiserating with his former players and staff. Classy guy. Very glad we have his like rather than Grant, Ollie or McLeish in the Premier League next season. Might just teach some of the old guard a thing or two tactically, too.
