Champions Cherries

Having won the Championship title, Bournmouth, for the first time in their history, will be plying their trade in the top tier of English football next season.

Their rose to the top is nothing short of amazing, especially when as recently as 2008, the Cherries were forced into administration and relegated to League Two. They spend a couple of season in that divison before gaining promotion back to League One in 2010, after finishing in second position. Three years later, they returned to the Championship division.

Beside winning the title, they created many club history in recently concluded season. Beside winning promotion to the top tier for the first time, they reached the quarter final of the League Cup, another first. And who can forget, their 8-0 victory over Birmingam at St Andrew's. The first time they ever recorded 8 goals in a game.




Which ever way you look at it, it was a brilliant season for them.

The Cherries will be joined by Watford while, Norwich, Middlesbrough, Brentford and Ipswich will fight it out for the remaining spot.

Welcome to Premier League.
