Ipswich Town I mean. Leeds miss out, at least for the moment. www.theguardian.com/football/live/2024/may/04/ipswich-v-huddersfield-plymouth-v-hull-and-more-championship-final-day-liveThe play-offs. Got to say, none of these teams are heading into the play-offs in particularly good form. Leeds ended the season losing three of their last four, Saints were on a three-game losing streak before winning today at Leeds, ditto West Brom before today’s victory over Preston, and Norwich drew two and lost one of their last three. Good luck, everyone! Sunday 12 May Norwich City v Leeds United (12pm) West Bromwich Albion v Southampton (2.15pm) Thursday 16 May Leeds United v Norwich City (8pm) Friday 17 May Southampton v West Bromwich Albion (8pm) Sunday 26 May The final

The big story is Ipswich’s return to the top flight after a 22-year absence. Back-to-back promotions in his first two seasons as a manager; that Kieran McKenna’s not half bad, eh? There’s also the matter of the two sensational Sammie Szmodics solo goals that indirectly condemned Birmingham City to League One. But amid all the drama, it’s easy to forget that Leicester City are the actual champions of the division, so let’s finish with a picture of the Foxes raising the famous old trophy as they return to the Premier League at the first attempt. Congratulations to them, and to Ipswich; good luck to Leeds, Southampton, West Brom and Norwich in the play-offs, and commiserations to Huddersfield and Birmingham, whose relegations were confirmed this afternoon. Thanks for reading this Clockwatch!
