English Sport Update

Hey, I'm in bloody England, I can get away with this!

"Chelsea staged a Premier League title-winning party after a 3-0 rout of Manchester United on Saturday but it was doom and gloom for Midlands clubs Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion who were relegated.

"Goals from William Gallas, Joe Cole and Ricardo Carvalho sealed a second successive title for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and United's misery was complete when England striker Wayne Rooney was carried off on a stretcher with a foot injury.

"Liverpool kept alive their hopes of pipping United for second place, moving level on points with their rivals after Steven Gerrard scored twice in a 3-1 defeat of Aston Villa.

"Chelsea's joy was mirrored by Portsmouth's fans at Wigan Athletic's JJB Stadium where a 2-1 victory for the south coast side completed a remarkable escape from the drop."
