12th with the Rovers? I'll settle for that (in game, and in real life!)

Rep Power: 12 | The Challengers & The Winners
For every race there are losers, whom we've laughed at already, also-rans whom we've ignored and then there are those who oh so nearly win but dont, and finally of course - the winners. And in the end, only the winners are who anyone really cares about. Spav will no doubt be a happy enough bunny, guiding his Birmingham side to a respectable 8th place finish in the Premiership. The only slight blot on the copy book were the two 2-1 losses to rivals Aston Villa.
7th place is perhaps not overwhelmingly good for Raptor's ageing Celtic side, but it should be good enough for a UEFA Cup spot. Their Champions League hopes ended again at the group stage, and reaching the UEFA Cup didnt seem to matter as Celtic crashed out to Zaragoza in their first round. The League Cup Quarter Final was reached, eventual winners Fulham ended Raptors hope of that trophy, and it was arch rivals Rangers who ended Celtic's FA Cup hopes, also at the Quarter Final stage. A draw and a loss to their rivals in the league didnt go down too well either, and there is little doubt the Celtic support will be looking for more.
A fairly dissappointing, in the end, finish for Terk's Liverpool who end up 6th. A UEFA Cup quarter final defeat to Lazio ended European hopes, and all round a distinctly average season for the Merseyside giants.
Finishing above Celtic should be enough to keep the Ibrox faithful happy, and keep Peacemaker7's job secure. 5th place means of course just missing out on a Champions League spot. Some good cup runs, losing out to Faramir's Fulham in the League Cup Final, Southampton in the FA Cup Semis, and Panathinaikos in the UEFA Quarters.
Finishing 4th for most clubs would be an achievement, but not for Manchester United and Bagpuss can't be overly happy, although it does secure Champions League footy for next season. Bagpuss is the proud owner of one trophy at least, as the British Super Cup was won with a 2-1 triumph over Arsenal. A Quarter Final defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, and the message is, could do better. And will probably need to.
Perhaps the performance of the season has come from Bobev's Tottenham, who finish the season in the 3rd place and so will be playing Champions League football next season. A Quarter Final appearance in the British FA Cup, but it was the league run which had everyone talking, and the great 2-0 home triumph over rivals Arsenal.
London teams fill the top three places, with HD just failing to match his idol Morinho by finishing 2nd in the Premiership with Chelsea. Milan ended Champions League hopes in the Semi Finals, and so HD ends the season without any silverware but can still claim a decent enough go at it.
And so that just leaves the winners, and this season that accolade goes to binny and Arsenal. Storming to the BPL title, they also lifted the FA Cup and without doubt then, binny is the first strongest link. Well done binny!

| 8th is great for Birmingham. In all seriousness, these Birmingham derbies are taken far too seriously by the locals. They need to look at the bigger picture. |

| Cheers, Mike. I was getting most of the noob comments as the most regular newbie until you came along and took over the role. \o/ Yay, now I can make fun of the noobs. :p
