Bournemouth promoted: Charlton troll 'promoted' Cherries, saying 19-0 result shouldn't be ruled out

Bournemouth will be in the Premier League next season - that is barring defeat on the final day of the season, a victory for Middlebrough and a 19 goal swing.

Such is the unlikelihood of such an event occurring, the Cherries celebrated after their win over Bolton last night as if they were already promoted. Fans even began singing the Match of the Day theme tune.

However, not everyone believes Bournemouth should be acting as if they've secured promotion already - at least not their opponents this weekend.

Charlton will be Bournemouth's final obstacle of the campaign, with the Cherries travelling to Valley Parade on Saturday. And amid the madness on the south coast last night, the Addicks sounded a word of caution on Twitter.

Middlesbrough are at home to Brighton on the final day.
