English Premiership Football - Relegation Battle
« on: May 15, 2005, 01:20:39 PM »
Anyone think that today's Premiership relegation battle was one of the best in years?

West Bromwich Albion were bottom of the league with Crystal Palace, Southampton and Norwich above them.  Norwich had to draw (or obviously win) to remain up (and relegating the teams below them)... but they lost 6-0 to Fulham!  WBA had to win and hope the others didn't... it worked!  WBA leapfrogged the other teams and stayed up! Amazing stuff!  My late Dad (a WBA fan) would be proud!!

I remember driving through WB on the way to that microcon we had in Brum!

Hehe!

Funny thing is that WBA beat Portsmouth... and the Pompey fans were celebrating losing to WBA because Southampton had been relegated!  Unusual but great to see! :)
