Madness! The final week of the season brought out an insane level of craziness across England’s second tier. Aston Villa closed out with a 1-0 defeat to Millwall.

It is now official:

Champions Wolverhampton Wanderers will be joined by Cardiff City in the Premier League next season. An outright smacking of Fulham at the hands of Birmingham City ensure the Cottagers finish third, with Villa right behind in 4th. In two hours, Aston Villa’s semi-finals opponent switched a total of four times. Middlesbrough began as the day’s opponents before Derby scored a pair to move-up into fifth. Stewart Downing equalized against Ipswich, then the Tractor Boys, via Martyn Waghorn, suddenly stole all three points.

But ‘Boro had the last laugh through Patrick Bamford.
