Well, Plymouth were up 1-0 at the half, but a draw for Luton meant that Argyle needed about 27 more goals to stay up. They missed the target by 29, and dropped all the points. This provided Leeds the Championship title.
Bristol City managed to claw back from a 2-0 deficit to draw even in their match, which kept them in the playoff as long as Blackburn didn't win. Rovers were up, but they got evened up. The final whistle blew in Bristol City to only mild cheers, as they awaiting the result in another stadium. Bradford promoted up on the final day at home. The relegation - promotion battles are what make the International Football model superior to the American. Especially when we have access to most of the games on the final day. Stoke City need to figure something out (that doesn't involved Wayne Rooney). I saw Plymouth's Hardie was potentially on the selling block, which would suck because he scored several important goals this season.
Sadly Champions and Europa/UEFA/Whatevera leagues are all auto-make it. This makes the final games less important in the EPL.
