Down at the bottom Delia couldn't cook anything up worth eating as she watched Norwich get hammered by bottom club Charlton and follow them into League One football. They would have still gone down had they won with Barnsley picking up all three points at Plymouth.
Well done Wolves on winning the league, and well done Sylvan Ebanks-Blake who is by far away the highest scorer in the division.
The final Championship stats are below along with the goalscorers, each club's disciplinary record and average attendances, and the play off dates.
