It was the turn of that other FA Final this weekend . . . FA Cup something or other I believe . . . anyway it was the new vultures on the block Manchester City who triumphed over little-fancied Stoke City. The Mancs ran out 1-0 winners – remind you of anything? :) Certainly didn’t have the same interest for me . . . in fact only watched about ten minutes and was bored rigid. Bring on the Blue Square Premier next season!!!
And for those who fancy watching some of the Darlo highlights again . . . why not!!! :)

Stoke were so little-fancied in our Come on Darlo Prediction League that no-one had them down as either winners or losers in this final, though quite a few plumped for Man City to win or lose it. These clever “winning” people are: Adrian Lynch, Anthony Leigh, Billy Cass, Chris MacKenzie 3, Christian Fox, Darren Darvill, David Sheppey 2, Ethan Vallis, James Cagney, James Houghton, Jeff Maughan, John Gutenberg, Jonny Simpson, Lewis Raper, Lynne Pape, Mark Hathaway, Mark O'Neill, Nads Charity, Paul White, Peter White, Stephen Bennett, Steve Curtis, Toby Corum 2, Trevor Gretton.

And the Premier League had some final places confirmed this weekend. Manchester United won it again for the 12th time since the Premier League was formed . . . and I believe only three other clubs have won it in that time. Chelsea’s draw with Newcastle sees them confirmed as runners-up, whilst West Ham’s fate has finally been sealed at the foot of the table in 20th place. No longer the Happy Hammers then!
But what about the most important league? Well, Ethan Vallis’ vast knowledge of the whole football league is standing him in good stead as he’s amassed 41 points so far, with more results still to come. And these points have pushed him into a strong second place on 167, just three behind our long-term leader Humphrey Bogart on 170. Troy Lacend is in third on 162 to complete the top three places (for now) . . . but it isn’t over by any stretch of the imagination for perhaps another 12-15 managers below these medallists.

And while one superstar sits proudly at the top of the table, another fallen star sits rather dejectedly at the bottom – Burt Lancaster is adrift by two points on 75 from Gary Robertson on 77 and Toby Corum and David Sheppey on 78. The league organising committee is already dusting off the loser’s ribbons for the (extremely) naff Wooden Spoon . . . just waiting for those final points to come in.
Premier League is complete next weekend along with final positions for Sunderland and Newcastle . . . leaving only the play-off finals to score afterwards.

A good finish - now on to Wembley!!!
Well, a good finish to the league season by Darlo – with a 2-0 home win against Rushden & Diamonds and finishing in 7th place in the Blue Square Premiership. And if you have the chance, take a look at the second goal by Campbell – a terrific 25-yard belter. But, of course, it’s still not the end of the season as Darlo go to . . . WEM-BER-LEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Have I mentioned that before?
And it’s been a belter of a weekend for points in the Come On Darlo Prediction League as all the Darlo questions are finally answered, along with several positions in the promotion and relegation battles – plus York finished 8th in the Blue Square Premiership.
In the Championship, QPR finally claimed top spot whilst Swindon were relegated from Division 1 in 24th place. Similar situation for Stockport in Division 2 who ended in 24th place and now join Darlington next season. Also, AFC Wimbledon finished in second place in the Blue Square Premiership.

And there have been major changes at the top of the league – apart from one – Humphrey Bogart remains as league leader with a commanding points total of 153. Chris Walton is shooting for the top in second place on 142 with Steve Calvert just behind on 141. Paul Robinson has given himself an excellent chance of honours on 139 with Lorraine Arscott. Will Caxton’s not out of it on 138.
Top scorers for the 2-0 win against Rushden are: Andrew Hodgson, Carl Hankin, Chris MacKenzie 2, Chris Walton 2, Christine Darvill, David Alderson, Diana Willsher, Don Chesney, Don Juan, Garry Mann, Graham Wakeling, Kevin Kidger, Laura Drew 4, Martyn Cripps 2, Martyn Walton, Matthew Ashmore, Micheal Spencer, Mike Wells, Paul Robinson, Paul White, Peter Morris, Randolph Scott, Rudy Dunk, Scott Morland, Stephen Nicholson, Steve Mann, Steven Metcalfe, Terry Simpson, Tim Hewitson.

And things are just as tight at the foot of the table – David Sheppey is still in spoon place on 57, but is only four points behind Burt Lancaster who is also four points behind Toby Corum third XI on 65. And there are still plenty of managers above these within easy reach.
