Cheers, somehow forgot about that

Championship taking shape as Burnley and QPR relegated

The Championship line up for next season is taking shape with only 5 teams left to be confirmed.

Two sides have been releagted this weekend from the Premier League, they are Burnley, who went down despite a win at Hull City and QPR who fell apart at Man City losing 6 - 0.

That leaves one more side to come down from the top flight with Hull the favourites but it could be Newcastle, Sunderland,
Leicester or Aston Villa.

We have to wait until the end of the month to see who will be promoted from the Championship and who will be promoted from League One.

Updated after the result at Swindon tonight.

Either Preston or Swindon will be in the Championship next season

Up the Swindon

Updated after the Championship play-off 2nd legs

A month ago they looked like they were down and out.

Leicester City secured survival while Sunderland edged closer to it after their goalless Premier League draw.

BBC

Sat 16th May 2015

Hull's 2-0 defeat against Tottenham means Sunderland need a point from either of their last two games, at Arsenal and Chelsea, to secure safety.

The Black Cats could have taken the lead in the first half but Danny Graham shot straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

Leonardo Ulloa came close with a flicked effort in the second period but neither side could break the deadlock.
Nigel Pearson's Leicester side were bottom of the table and seven points adrift at the beginning of April, but have turned it around and can now look forward to another season in the Premier League.
Their remarkable recent run has seen them pick up 19 points from their last eight games to stave off a return to the Championship after only one campaign.

Hope Newcastle come down

Sunderland have to play away at Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle have West Ham at home.

Hull have Man Utd at home.

Carl, interesting,rem football is a funny old game

Me too

But I can't see Hull beating Man Utd. Especially if United win today, as they'll still be in with a chance of 3rd then.

Some additional and possibly interesting info for you all to consider. Steve Bruce has NEVER beaten Manchester United as a manager,next week will be his 22nd attempt in doing so. On Sunderland they just need one point from their double header in London-remember they won at Chelsea last year in their great escape.

QPR have a potential £60 million pound fine hanging over their heads because of FFP rules and their place in the Championship is under jeopardy as a result of this.
