Fulham fight on, Forest promoted.

Man United powered past the Irons today and look certs to win at Wigan next weekend and take the Premier League title. Chelsea must win at Newcastle on Monday and Kevin Keegan might have mixed feelings if his side stop the Blues in their tracks. Meanwhile, Fulham beat Brum today by the only goal to move out of the bottom three. They will need a better result at Portsmouth than Reading can get at Derby, and both need to out-point Birmingham who have a home game against Blackburn to finish. I suspect Fulham's revival might be cut-short, although I would prefer to see them stay up at the expense of Birmingham City and Reading.

Forest have been promoted after winning at home and seeing Doncaster lose away. They don't belong in League One and it will be good to play them again next season. I only hope Donny get their just desserts by joining them through the play-offs. At the other end of the League One, Gillingham have been relegated and I will shed no tears for that.

Focus tomorrow moves to the Championship when I expect Stoke to join West Brom in the top spots and Palace to make the play-offs. The fight at the bottom is closer but my money's on Leicester replacing Forest in League One.

Let's hope we can finish tomorrow with a performance full of hope for next year. A decent performance and result would provide small relief against our disastrous finish and might set the scene for a fresh start on 9th August.
