Great afternoon of football, super stuff altogether. every team was 4th from bottom at one stage of the afternoon, my tip was norwich but at half time had a feeling WBA would do it. glad the Saints are gone though, always manage to take points off the pool

I reckon Wigan dont stand a chance, aswell as the play off winners!
Think your being harsh on robson though, didnt think he'd do it but has done a smashing job since he toke over despite the fans being against him from the start.

Would have liked to see Palace stay up, but at least Southampton didn't. Well done to West Brom. I thought they had no chance of surviving but you have to give credit to Robson for keeping them up.

Obviously I'm disappointed Saints didn't stay up, but I'm glad it wasn't Palace that survived.

Congratulations to West Brom though. They pulled it out of the bag. Surprised at the Norwich result though. Didn't expect that.

It's like Colin Firth says at the end of Fever Pitch - "Relegated in May, well the promotion push start in August".

Man Utd skipper Roy Keane, who was left as an unused substitute, emerged on to the pitch after the final whistle for a run-down and appeared to to respond to some barracking with a thumbs-down sign to Saints fans.

Stewards had to step in to usher Keane down the tunnel as Southampton fans rushed to express their fury at the United skipper

Robson has done a fantastic job at West Brom and refusing to acknowledge it is typical barstooler phone-in rubbish.
