Chelsea officially clinched the Premiership on Saturday lunchtime with a crushing 3-0 victory over second placed Manchester United. The Blues only needed a draw to confirm the champions status but William Gallas after five minutes, Joe Cole on 61 and Ricardo Carvalho on 73 sealed victory in style as Jose Mourinhos side retained their Premiership trophy at 6/5.
Another crucial match in the Premiership was Portsmouths victory at Wigan Athletic. As predicted in the Walkers Word column, Pompeys win at the JJB Stadium relegated both Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion in what was a gloomy day for West Midlands football. Henri Camara gave Wigan the lead after 34 minutes, but Benjamin Mwaruwaris first goal form the club on 63 and Matt Taylors second penalty in as many weeks on 71 ensured a 9/5 away win.
Birmingham City could only muster a goalless draw against Newcastle United when only victory could preserve their Premiership status until the final match of the season. The draw was available at 12/5 before kick-off.
