Gutted for you. On the bright side a win with a newly promoted team in the very competitive Bundesliga is huge!!! And retaining your crown in France as well.

I thought this was gonna be your season

Belgium

Anderlecht 60 +38 Champions
Genk 59 +69
Bruges 51 +28
Mechelen 46 +32
Liege 36 +9
Antwerp 28 -4

A close run title race with Anderlecht coming out on top after Genk could only draw at Liege this week.

Belarus

Brest 56 +28 Champions
Bate 54 +40
Dnepr 48 +22 unmanaged.

Bate came close to repeating last season's title win but congrats go to Brest for the win.

Brazil

Santos 56 +54 Champions
Fluminense 55 +41
Botafogo 51 +48
Vasco 38 +10
Cruzeiro 34 +0
Sao Paulo 31 -2

Three titles on the bounce for Geoff and four in the last six seasons for Mr Consistency. The other two seassons he finished second, staggering.

Eire

Derry 51 +32 Champions
Cherry 51 +31
Cork City 49 +31
Shelbourne 40 +17

Derry regain their title from last season's winners Cherry despite losing at Cherry Orchard this week, just one more goal for Cherry would have put them top, such fine margins.

Congrats to Geoff, such a strong team Santos.  Will be tough to beat but the second half of the season gives the Fluminense fans hope for next season.

Premiership

Man City 51 +20 Champions
Charlton 50 +22
Plymouth 46 +23
Watford 41 +17
Banstead 31 -1
Chelsea 30 +1

Manchester City finish top again to repeat last season's success, well done Geoff. I'm happy with where my little Banstead side finished considering my lightweight squad and lack of real quality.

Championship

Leicester 45 +13
Spurs 42 +18
Wednesday 42 +12
------
Liverpool 40 +14
Soton 36 +13
Everton 32 +2

Spurs recovered eventually to win promotion as expected while Leicester were the surprise package and they will both be playing top flight football next season along with yoyo club Sheffield Wednesday.

Congrats to Geoff again (fast becoming my nemesis!), well deserved title, to win eight games straight in the run-in is virtually impossible in this league so deserves it alone for that.  Can anyone stop Geoff?  

My Charlton squad will go again next season, no additions, Wijnaldum and Mane leaving whilst Saka and Bellingham move up to the first team squad.  Least I can do is give them another crack at it again next season having come so close this season.

France

Nantes 53 +47 Champions
Etienne 51 +39
Paris 50 +29
Monaco 44 +24
Marseille 4 +25
Lille 38 +20

Another incredible title victory for Nantes which makes it seven titles on the bounce and ten titles in the last twelve years, quite incredible. Well done Tom.

Germany

Wolfsburg 50 +24 Champions
Leverkusen 48 +35
Schalke 48 +31
Hannover 47 +25
Bayern 40 +17
Gladbach 30 -10

Another title for Tom this time in Germany, well done Tom I think you owe Rob a drink.

Holland

PSV 55 +55 Champions
Twente 55 +47
Feyenoord 55 +32
Ajax 54 +49
Rotterdam 41 -1
Alkmaar 30 -7 unmanaged.

Wow another close fought title race won on the last day by PSV following their win at Ajax. One point separating the top four makes one very happy manager and three not so happy managers.

Italy

AC Milan 48 +30 Champions.
Napoli 44 +25
Inter Milan 42 +8
Fiorentina 36 -1
Cagliari 35 +9
Lazio 34 +8

Milan are the Champions again as the favorites land another title. Napoli came closest their best finish in awhile whilst Juventus have sacked their boss for finishing outside the top six. The Sevilla boss takes over the hot seat whilst the departing boss goes back to basics at his beloved Blackpool.

Portugal

Porto 59 +56 Champions.
Benfica 58 +56
Boavista 53 +25
Lisbon 43 +23
Braga 38 +21

Benfica just fell short of a repeat success allowing Porto to grab all the glory.

Scotland

Rangers 50 +23 Champions.
Motherwell 49 +21
Aberdeen 43 +13
Celtic 38 +17
Hibs 36 +11
Inverness 34 +5

Rangers win their first title since season 15 although they have racked up no less than seven second places in that time so it was well deserved at last, giving them an historic Double this season. Motherwell are the bridesmaids again.

Spain

Barcelona 60 +67 Champions.
Real 55 +60
Atletico 48 +40
Valencia 48 +15
Betis 41 +22
Sevilla 25 -14

Well done Rob, fine achievement in such exalted company.
