Blackpool are down...
A chaotic final day in the Premier League saw Blackpool and Birmingham – Carling Cup winners – relegated.
Manchester United beat Blackpool 4-2 and have finished first or second in the last six seasons. Dynasty. Superb. Respect.
Chelsea sacked Carlo Ancelotti. Another managerial change at Stamford Bridge. The Italian won the Premier League AND FA Cup last year but failed to win a trophy this season with a roster full of aging stars.
Manchester City finished third. Arsenal’s summer break will be cut short as they play in the early Champions League qualifying rounds at the end of July / beginning of August. Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini and his men are straight in the group stages.
A quiet kudos to Mark Hughes and David Moyes – two of the Premier League’s better managers, who finished 7th and 8th respectively this season – despite long-term injuries to the teams’ best players.
Wigan finished in 16th on 42 points despite looking like they were going down two weeks ago – and credit must be given to Charles N’Zogbia, Hugo Rodallega, and manager Roberto Martinez. If that trio sticks around over the summer, securing another season in the Premier League should be achievable next year.
Hope Fantasy Managers enjoyed the wild ride this season was. Thanks for reading, commenting, and enjoying the beautiful game.

Worth to mention, Charlie Adam (2nd best fantasy player of the season) will be relegated. The game loses here, we all lose here.
