OSG Prem: Action At The Bottom, The Top Keeps Winning (And Leicester City Is In)

((HT: BPL on NBC))

First, the HQ would like to commend Leicester City for their automatic promotion to the Premier League for next season as their 23-game unbeaten streak, combined with two losses last night, gives the Foxes their first peek at the Premier in ten years.

Here's their win over Sheffield Wednesday that helped seal it...

Now, to the big boys... there was life all over the place...

Manchester United found the right time to find out-of-form Newscastle- winning 4-0 with Juan Mata stirring the drink...


Chelsea found a disinterested Stoke squad and won 3-0

Hull City got one goal at home against Swansea and that's all most folks need for the full three points these days. The Tigers are now 12th and the Swans 16th...

Man City took care of Southampton 4-1, but the visitors are more worried at the seriousness of the injury to Jay Rodriguez- which looked like a knee cap or ligament damage that led to a stretchering off and a shell-shocked bunch after that.

The life at the bottom came in a few different forms- Fulham found some offense and beat Benteke-less Aston Villa 2-1 to get closer to leaving the relegation zone. Villa manager Paul Lambert was pretty disappointed...


Cardiff, the HQ thinks, cemented their spot in the Championship with a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in a big 6-pointer...
Palace manager Tony Pulis was pleased with his huge win...

And the team that REALLY needs to pay attention to the rest of their schedule is Norwich. They only have a 6-pointer with Fulham left in the bottom part of their schedule. The rest of their schedule has the top four teams in it. So, they could be the third team to fall if they aren't on their best...

The Canaries were booed off the pitch after the 1-0 West Brom win and they are in serious trouble...
