Dont worry Dave, next weekend the new scottish seasons begins.
Lets all prepare ourselves for Riddells constant complaints every weekend about how his beloved Hearts have done [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="smile[/IMG]
WBA are Premiership Runners up after a close fight with new champions Arsenal.
They certainly did light up the premiership this season after setting up a new record of 91 goals scored. In an interview with manager Koprivnik he said "We were very unlucky not to win the league this year, although runners up is very good aswell, we will certainly be back next season to win it and we did achieve our main goal, which was to get champions league football"
It wasnt trophy-less for the baggies though, they did manage to secure the League Cup for the third time under Koprivnik's spell. Although the scoreline was a massive 6-1 against Boston Utd it wasn't much of a suprise to everyone. At the end of the match we managed to interview both managers, Koprivnik said "Well as you can see the team played fantastic today, although nothing less than a win was expected as the team Boston put out where their reserves" Gold said "Well done to Koprivnik, he has managed to win it again, although having fielded the reserves all season for the competition it was only fair that the reserve team also played in the final, with the fixture list the way it is, First team players just cannot be risked no matter if its a cup final"
City Secure Champions League
Manager Vermeer has secured Champions league football for next season. Vermeer was very delighted, he said "Its fantastic, European football was an aim, we got Champions league football which is fantastic especially with the competition there is in this league" This has really topped the season for Man City as they suffered early cup exits from both the League Cup and FA Cup. City finished 4th place just behind very close rivals Man Utd.
Happy Wanderes
Well it was a better season for Wolves this time round in the premiership than their last encounter. Finishing 8th overall for this season Riddell Said "Its been a good season, we have stayed up this time and also managed to get into the top half of the table, its been a good season"
Although being knocked out early from 2cups it did not worry manager Riddell who managed to guide his side to the 4th round of the Uefa cup where Deportivo ended their european run.
Diamonds Are Forever
Rushden have done it, they have secured premiership status after managing to get 16th place. It certainly wasnt too bad for Rushden as early on they did manage to even lead the premiership. Johnston said "Im quite pleased, we've come a long way and have secured premiership status, we can build on this and will do even better next season".
Rushden also managed to get to the semi final of the FA Cup in which they lost 2-0 to Man Utd. Europe also saw them do well as their first time in the Uefa cup saw them get to the 3rd round but unfortunatly knocked out by Porto.
Poor Sky Blues In No Heaven
Coventry City have for a 4th time missed out on promotion to the premiership. Going strong all season it looked very much like the Sky Blues were finally gonna go up. Having built another good strong squad they were unlucky yet again. Having secured a play off place by finishing 3rd, they then lost to Crystal Palace on Penalties. Brown said "We are very unfortunate, we did very well this season especially in finishing 3rd. I did expect to go up and its dissapointing that we didnt, on the performance we have had near the end of the season im very confident that next season we will finally go up"
No Roar From Welsh Dragons
Well it was a little dissapointing that Cardiff were not in the play offs this seasons but they did managed to get 9th place and also to the quarter final of the FA Cup. Hepburn said "It is dissapointing and we have been unlucky at times, next season we will certainly be up there along the top teams although it wont be easy, there are a lot of good teams in this league who will all wanna get into the premiership"
Third Time Not So Lucky
Well it wasnt to be a third successive promotion for manager Farwell. Although having done an excellent job in taking Barnsley to the play offs from 19th place. Barnsley were unlucky and lost to Chesterfield in the play offs 4-2 semi final. Farwell said "It was very close, so nearly I got another team promoted from Division2"
His former club luton ended in 12th place, which might have been much better if Farwell was still at the club.
Four In A Row For Boston
Well the unthinkable has happened yet again, aiming to just survive they have gone so much better and got crowned Division 1 champions after a very close end of season battle with Spurs and B'ham. Gold said "I didnt think we'd win this title and its suprised thats for sure" later on in the interview Gold said "Well finally Boston Utd get to see Top Flight football, something a lot of people didnt think would happen for a long time, it wont be easy next season and survival is our number one goal"
Boston also got runners up in the league in which they got beat by WBA. Gold said "We played our reserves all season in this competition, they have done an excellent job in getting this far, first team players couldnt be risked and it certainly has paid off in resting them for the league, the reserves have done a good job"
All of a sudden Steve feels about knee high to a grasshopper and keeps his tongue in check. [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]
