Heartbreak and happiness on the final day

There were champagne showers today in WIGAN, where MANCHESTER UNITED secured the PREMIER LEAGUE title with a 2-0 victory at the JJB Stadium.
Things were far less cheerful at Stamford Bridge. We watched live on FOX SOCCER CHANNEL as visiting BOLTON drew, 1-1, with CHELSEA.
Chelsea entered the day level on points with United, but results doomed them to second place. Perhaps worse for Chelsea, the Blues lost captain JOHN TERRY to a elbow injury after only 12 minutes. If he cannot recover in time, Terry's absence could prove huge for Chelsea in 10 days, when they play Manchester United in the Champions League final in Moscow.
At the bottom end of the table, READING and BIRMINGHAM go down to the Championship with the woeful DERBY.
Visiting FULHAM beat PORTSMOUTH, 1-0, to secure their spot in the Premiership on a final day of high drama.
Now, I have just realized the Premier League season has come to an end. I'll miss the weekly matches this summer!
