Right, I am posting all of this at once, I planned to post it minute by minute so that the drama could unfold, but I have decided not to due to only a couple of managers being around, and it saves me two hours. Enjoy!

2000: Kick off in all of the games. Newcastle, Liverpool and Reading all have default losses due to no shows, and therefore Stoke also get three points by default.

2001: Swansea nearly score straight from the kick off. Adebayor played the ball to Hoilett who made a fantastic run, but shoots when Ramsey was well placed to pass to.

2002: GOAL Man United 1-0 Norwich (Scholes)
Man United get a corner early on which Kagawa crosses in, Bennett half clears but finds Scholes who fires a low shot into the bottom corner.

2003: Good early chance for Southampton, Rickie Lambert heading wide from a cross in from Antonio Lopez. Meanwhile in the Tottenham game Fellaini has made a good run forward but a good tackle from Diame gives Everton possession. Van Persie has a chance to give Arsenal the lead but hits the post. Chelsea have been very good in the opening exchanges and Mata beat Uchida and crossed from Cavani who sent a header wide.

2004: GOAL Man United 2-0 Norwich (Benzema)
Man United have just gone for it today, and Benzema doubles their lead with a lovely finish from the corner of the box after receiving a Schurrle pass.

2005: GOAL Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal (Cazorla)
Fantastic piece of skill from Cazorla, finding a pocket of space between the Villa midfield and defensive lines, and using that space to accurately hit an drive into the top corner past Shay Given.

2009: GOAL Everton 0-1 Tottenham (Llorente)
Simple goal here to give Tottenham the lead. Bale gets past Santon and whips in a brilliant ball, finding Llorente who heads it in.

2010: West Ham are really struggling at the moment, Valencia finds Moutinho who sends a long range shot which Robinson has to scramble to save.

2011: Arsenal are needing goals if they want any chance of winning the league and they are going for it, but Aston Villa are looking dangerous on the break. Swansea are looking the stronger side and attacking more, Ashley Williams plays a long ball over the top which finds Bendtner but he cannot control and Collins clears. The game has settled down a bit in the Norwich-Man Utd contest, with Norwich getting some of the possession now.

2012: GOAL Fulham 1-0 Southampton (Kaboul)
We have a goal and it goes to the home side. Lampard took a free kick which found Kaboul who powered a header past Davis.

2016: PENALTY TO ARSENAL
Mathijsen trips Cazorla who gets into the box. Stonewall penalty which Van Persie prepares to take.

2019: GOAL - Man United 2-2 Norwich (Holt)
Holt scores again to send the fans at Old Trafford into shock. A corner is sent in and Holt beats Hummels in the air to put Norwich on level terms.

2022: Everton are trying to find a way back into this game but Fulham are not making it easy. Subotic has won everything in the air but Everton are seeing more of the ball. In the Swansea-West Brom game it's all Swansea and a Hoilett corner finds Dann but the header is cleared off the line by Grygera.

2023: GOAL Chelsea 1-0 West Ham (Mata)
Mata finds space and takes a shot from range, which M'Bia gets a touch on which just makes it more difficult for Robinson to save as Chelsea take the lead.

2024: Good pressure from Fulham, Lucas robbing Adam in the middle and playing the ball quickly to Torres who turns and shoots, but the keeper is equal to it. Aston Villa are looking dangerous too, with Aquilani finding Bent who was shackled by Koscielny. Norwich are continuing to attack, is there method in the madness?

2028: GOAL Fulham 2-0 Southampton (Torres)
The goal has been coming. Torres gets the ball, flicks it round Chico Flores and gets one on one with Davis, calmly sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to double Fulham's lead.

2029: Holt gets on the end of a cross from Naughton which De Gea didn't deal with well enough, but Vidic is on hand to help out as Man United survive. West Ham are also trying to get back into the game, and Fabrice finds space and runs at the Chelsea defense who are thankful to John Terry who makes a crucial tackle.

2031: Tiote wins the ball for Tottenham, and plays it to Modric who splits the defense finding Hazard who is brought down by Jagielka. A debatable penalty, but the referee decides not to give it. West Brom also get their first good chance of the game with Lukaku robbing Williams of the ball and passing to Granero who hits the post.

2035: Southampton are two goals down, but aren't giving up. Kenwyne Jones beats Coates in the air and smashes a header against the crossbar. Aston Villa are also behind but are really going for it. Schurrle has sent a rocket just wide for Man United.

2041: GOAL Man United 3-2 Norwich (Coentrao)
A brilliant long range strike from the Portugese gives Man United the lead. Nobody expected him to shoot and that included Ruddy.

2100: Play resumes in all of the games as the second half gets going.

2101: GOAL Everton 1-1 Tottenham (Jelavic)
The Croatian has had a superb season and scores again today, dropping deep and using his pace to beat Subotic, curling his shot past Julio Cesar.

2102: That goal has brought Everton right back into the game, and news is filtering through to the Arsenal fans who are cheering on their side.

2104: GOAL Everton 2-1 Tottenham (Sterling)
Pranjic has played brilliantly today, and has created this goal, playing a perfect pass out to Sterling who caught Anyukov out of position, and he cut inside to score to give Everton the lead.

2107: Everton have come out a different team this half and have looked strong. West Brom are also looking better and Odemwingie sent a piledriver into the box which Jaaskalinien could only parry but Taylor got there first to clear. Chelsea hit on the break after Rodriguez was dispossessed, Piazon forcing a fantastic save out of Paul Robinson.

2109: Tottenham are really trying to hit back after going a goal down, Modric has tried a shot from range but Vorm makes a fantastic save.

2109: GOAL Man United 4-2 Norwich (Higuain)
Man United have started the second half well, with Higuain beating Martin in the air and scoring a goal which puts United two goals up.

2110: Podolski makes a mess of a chance after linking up well with Gibbs as Arsenal are trying to get themselves the three points they need.

2112: GOAL Fulham 2-1 Southampton (Lallana)
Fantastic goal from Southampton to give them a chance of getting something out of this. Lucas is robbed of possession in the middle by Schneiderlin, and Lallana is on the edge of the area where he receives the ball and shows superb control before smashing home a goal back.

2116: Meanwhile Tottenham are continuing to attack, Bale goes down in the box after being tackled by Parker, but once again no penalty. Norwich are pressing and Howson finds Rhodes who gets a good save out of De Gea. Chelsea are continuing to attack but the West Ham defense is holding firm.

2118: GOAL Swansea 1-0 West Brom (Adebayor)
Adebayor was at the back post to get on the end of a low cross from Nathan Dyer to score one of the easiest goals of his career to give Swansea the lead which they probably deserve.

2119: GOAL Man United 5-2 Norwich (Tierney OG)
Johnson fouls Fletcher to give Man United a free kick, which is whipped in by Kagawa and Tierney is the unfortunate man to put the ball into his own net.

2120: Southampton have been buoyed by that goal, and are attacking Fulham, Matt Phillips and Rickie Lambert have both forced saves from Schwarzer. Meanwhile West Brom are trying to find a way back into the game and Mulumbu found Boesnich who sent in a cross which came so close to finding Lukaku's head.

2122: Arsenal have been pressing Aston Villa, but they have defended well with Mathijsen making a key block to deny Van Persie, and Shay Given recovering well after spilling a Sagna cross. Higuain also went down in the box for Man United but the referee tells him to get up.

2128: James Collins makes a last ditch tackle to deny Bendtner a glorious scoring opportunity to win it for Swansea. Walcott misses an open goal for West Ham after brilliant play from Noble.

2131: Lots of subsitutions being made across the grounds, including a double change for Southampton to try and force the equalizer with Frei and Puncheon coming on. Everton are also bring on Wisdom and Sinclair to try to hold on to this lead, as Tottenham are on the front foot here. Aston Villa want to get the win here and N'Zogbia is coming on.

2133: Frei nearly makes an immediate impact, sidefooting an attempt just wide for Southampton. Then Fulham quickly hit on the counter but Melberg just about stops Torres from getting his shot away.

2134: N'Zogbia beats Sagna and sends in a cross which Lloris has to touch to prevent Ba getting his head on it.

2138: West Brom are looking like they will get an equalizer here, Ince is knocked over by Corluka but Mulumbu picks up the pieces and hits the shot wide. Manchester United are needing goals and for Tottenham to get back into the game, but it's not looking like happening.

2139: Llorente has missed a sitter. Sinclair gave away the ball and Modric feeds Hazard, who showed skill to get past Evans and Jagielka, squared to Llorente who somehow misses from four yards.

2142: Arsenal want to get that win and are sending everyone forward. Petrov is robbed of possession by Song who burst into the box and shoots widely wide. Norwich are needing to stay in this to prevent themselves going down, and they are viewing attack as the best form of defense. Rhodes has just seen an effort bounce back off the post.

2144: Final chance for Southampton who get a corner. Everyone comes forward including Kelvin Davis. Lallana takes the corner but Schwarzer punches it to safety. Meanwhile West Ham are pressing for the late equalizer, but Sturridge missed a big chance.

2145: FT - Fulham 2-1 Southampton
3-2-0

Where the game was won (by Garth Crooks)
Southampton really tried today and put in a good performance going forward. But Fulham have so much more quality in their side and attacked them which took apart a weak Southampton defense.

2145: FT - Swansea 1-0 West Brom
5-2-0

Where the game was won (by Mark Lawrenson)
Neither team particularly went for it today with little to play for, but Swansea's attack eventually broke down West Brom's defense. Swansea will be hoping they win the FA Cup to class their season as a success.

2146: FT - Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
4-2-0

Where the game was won (by Lee Dixon)
Chelsea edged this game through a great piece of skill from Mata. West Ham have been improving all the time but couldn't quite get a point which has been the story of their season.

2146: PENALTY TO TOTTENHAM
It's been all Tottenham at Goodison Park, and they get a penalty at last, Diame clattering into Modric who was getting into the box. This is going to be it.

2148: GOAL Everton 2-2 Tottenham (Hazard)
Hazard bravely steps up to score the penalty. Schwarzer went the right way but couldn't keep it out. A few more seconds left to play, can Everton get a dramatic late winner?

2148: FT - Aston Villa v Arsenal
1-2-2

Where the game was won (by Alan Shearer)
A very close game, Aston Villa worked hard in midfield and negated the Arsenal threats. They kept things tight and forced Arsenal to go wide, which worked as Aston Villa fought hard to get a point despite Arsenal having the better side on paper, which prevented them from winning the league.

2149: FT - Man United 5-2 Norwich
4-1-0**
Where the game was won (by Alan Hansen)
A crazy game with both teams attacking and needing results to avoid relegation, or get into the champions league. Man United have the better players and Higuain and Benzema were clinical in front of goal, but it wasn't quite enough.
** Average win margin was by three goals.


2149: FT - Everton 2-2 Tottenham
3-3-0
Where the game was won (by Andy Townsend)
Tottenham fought back well to get the point they needed. Everton had five in the middle and they made it difficult for Tottenham to play, but in the end the attacking quality of Modric, Hazard, Bale, Llorente shone through.


2200: Final Scores:
Everton 2-2 Tottenham
Fulham 2-1 Southampton
Swansea 1-0 West Brom
Aston Villa 1-1 Arsenal
Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
Reading 0-2 Stoke
Man United 5-2 Norwich
Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool*
*Both teams get no points


Tottenham have won the league and deservedly so. Their only real competition came from Arsenal but their title challenge derailed as Fernando left. Captain United gave them brief hope but they have to settle for second place. Everton scrape into the Champions League places after a hard fought season, with Chelsea also in a strong third place, mainly due to the efforts of pullthestrings. Man United, despite a strong late showing from Marky, finish in fifth, Aston Villa get Europa league football and so do Liverpool. Fulham, despite a strong eigth placed finish do not get Europa League football. The final spot will go to the winners of the FA Cup final. West Ham and Southampton are both already relegated and nothing changes today with both sides losing, and Reading join them in the relegation places, as they didn't show today to leave the relegation battle ending anti-climactedly.

Final League Table: May contain errors but I believe it to be correct.

1) Tottenham Hotspur - Played 15, 37 points (+17)
2) Arsenal - Played 15, 32 points (+9)
3) Chelsea - Played 15, 29 points (+13)
