Portsmouth League Two champions
Portsmouth leave league two in style, with a win and draws elsewhere that mean they become champions:

It has been a long haul for Portsmouth, four years in the division. A couple of seasons fighting relegation. For the first couple of years they suffered from the problem of drawing from the ranks of their own ex-pros as managers. People like Awford and Whittingham - total club heroes, but never good enough as managers.
Paul Cook at first seemed an unlikely guy - I don't know what he's got, but he has delivered the best win rate since Redknapp. The club feels very different to the overspending days of Redknapp and co. - Money flying out on unsustainable signings and wages, something Portsmouth paid a heavy price for and those responsible never really held accountable for their misconduct.
But we could be going back there with the Eisner bid - I don't think they can turn down the bid, but why on earth does this guy want to buy a lower league football club?
