This is where I end up looking like a tit BUT: Millwall 2 Peterborough 0 Title won I think. (if they don't come back before the end of the game) Can't see a combination of Pboro winning their last 3 (with MK and Millwall breathing down their necks) and us losing our last 3. 7 points gap (8 with GD). 9 to play for.

Cheers KK. Not confirmed yet of course.
How are you? Good season for Villa, even if you've slipped a bit recently.

Some very dodgy maths in my head. But I think, given our masssive GD over Pboro....the only way we can finish third (i.e. below MK and Pboro) is IF:
Leicester lose all 3 remaining games
AND
MK Dons win all 4 remaining games
AND
Peterborough win all 3 remaining games
I think....

We've been drawing a lot of games lately, even when we were on out long unbeaten run. Before today, it was something like 6 of the last 7 home games.
Still, no nervy last day of the season like last year though!

Cheers guys. Absolutely over the moon. Can't wait til the party on Friday night and getting the trophy. It might only be league 1 but its not an easy league to get out of, as other 'big' clubs like Forest, Leeds and Wednesday would testify. I think we've been outstanding this season, showing a great deal of professionalism and class. Pearson ensured the squad had the right attitude and approach, and even with a dip in form ending just a couple of weeks back, its a title we fully deserve. After several wretched seasons, changing the whole culture of the football club to shoulder expectation and introducing a winning mentality should not be taken lightly. I didn't expect this and am delighted. The fans have also loved winning football, particularly in far flung traditional grounds the club hasn't been to before. Who knows what the Championship will bring, but in Nigel we trust. WACCOLO

Well done to the Foxes. Thoroughly deserved. Hard work begins as of now. Hopefully franchise FC remain in this division.

Thanks guys. I'm sure preparations for next season are already underway behind the scenes. Been a good and much more enjoyable year than I imagined. Looking forward to the Scunthorpe game but I don't think I'll be purchasing some of the special 'champions' merchandise from the shop.

haha I wish!
Nah...its a T-shirt, scarf, mug, mouse mat...that type of stuff.
Thing is it doesn't say what we are champions of on the stuff...which I think is actually worse than it doing so.
Also, on the OS they said 'beware of cheap imitations' which was quite funny really considering the pictures of the t-shirts look like your normal far too big fruit of the loom-esque dirge.
