The most underpraised manager of the season has to be Sam Allardyce. Blackburn finished in the top 10 - pretty impressive even if they're not exactly easy on the eye. Especially impressive when you consider that Blackburn's fans were so angry earlier in the season that one of them killed another. Idiots.

(by the way, I'm not saying that was a direct link between performance that should be used as a brush to paint all Rovers fans, but it was linked into the anger that the away fans were feeling at the time)

And the Premiership borefest will continue next year, and the year after that.

Money needs to be fed down in these TV deals and these parachute payments to all clubs in this country not just the premiership, so smaller clubs can become more competitive.

The Div1 race yesterday was far more exciting than what was on offer in the Premiership today. Even the Blue Square Premier was more exciting with Luton failing to get there.

And it does not end there. We Championship, Div1 and Div2 playoffs coming up.

I was listening to the game on the radio and it sounded like Wigan were having the best of things up till Chelsea scored, they weren't able to recover from the second goal and having a man sent off, after that it was damage limitation.

.

Will it though? As things stand, Chelsea should walk the league next season. But you never know - they've only scraped through by a single point this year.

The Premiership is in decline - but for Rooney, Man United have been pretty dire this year, Tottenham have made it into 4th despite a squad with serious limitations, and Villa and Liverpool have pushed them.

Unfortunately, it's the bottom sides in the league that have made this season boring, not even taking the relegation scrap to the last game. As you say, money is the major factor - but you cannot say the battle for European places has been dull; the dull factor is that it's the same two teams again.

Will be interesting to see who spends money in the summer. Can't see United spending big with the Glazer debt more or less raping them, Liverpool need to rebuild - teams like Fulham and Blackburn could easily add to the mix next season.
