Squeaky Bums have stopped squeaking!

I reported on the final stages of the English as Scottish football seasons, and for completeness feel that I should report on how it all ended.

European Cup Final (Moscow)

Chelsea v Man Utd (1:1 after extra time - Man Utd win 6-5 on penalties)

English Premier League

Top:

Team P GD PTS
1 Man Utd 38 58 87
----------------------- Champions
2 Chelsea 38 39 85

Bottom:

Team P GD PTS
15 Sunderland 38 -23 39
16 Bolton 38 -18 37
17 Fulham 38 -22 36
----------------------------------- Relegation Point
18 Reading 38 -25 36
19 Birmingham 38 -13 31
20 Derby 38 -69 11


An amazing escape for Fulham …. For the second season running.

And winning the fight to get into the Premier.

Top:
Team P GD PTS
1 West Brom 46 33 81 (Champions)
2 Stoke 46 14 79
------------------------------- Promotion Point
3 Hull 46 18 75 (Playoff winner – promoted)

And finally the Scottish Premier League, where my mate Kevin's team, Glasgow Rangers, were unfortunately beaten in the race on the final day after it looking like a walk over a few weeks ago.

UEFA Cup Final (Manchester)

Glasgow Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg (0:2)

Scottish Premier League

1 Celtic 38 58 77
----------------------- Champions

2 Rangers 38 51 86

Rangers just tired, especially after they lost the UEFA cup final.

They ended up with the CIS League Cup and the Scottish FA Cup which they won this afternoon. Still an amazing season that closely mirrored their great rivals Celtics season of a few years ago, when they also made it to and lost the UEFA cup final.

I had thought Man Utd would lose out to Chelsea on both fronts and they won both. Unfortunately I was right about Rangers
