Manchester United are the champions of England for the second time in a row. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have now won the Premier League for a tenth time!
And here is the other great piece of news. Kevin Davies Matt Taylor has scored for Bolton at Stamford Bridge. And Chelsea’s end-of-season tally of 85 points is two short (too short!) of United’s 87! So a middle finger to Avram Grant’s suggestion of a play-off. Bolton ensure their survival. A remarkable turnaround for Gary Megson’s team.
Roy Hodgson’s Fulham are the other champions today, having turned their season around and have won their survival on the final day. Reading and Birmingham City will join Derby County in the Championship. I expect Reading to come back in a season.
Boro have the joy of eight! Richard Dunne’s sending off opened up Man City’s leaky defence. But 8-1 is an almost impossible result in modern-day football.
Everton are in the UEFA Cup after their 3-1 win against the Toon.
Arsenal (3rd) and Liverpool (4th) also win on the day, but they were just playing for pride.
All in all, a great season of football ends with Manchester United deservedly retaining their crown! It is not fully over yet. The FA Cup will be decided on Saturday, and then the big one – the Champions League final from Moscow!

A great end to a great season with United deserved winners.
The only fly in the ointment for me was the Ronaldo’s antics once again. He must have stopped playing at least 3 times believing he had been fouled. He really needs to sort out this side of his game. If he does then he coul be the World’s best player. Until he does he will fall short to Messi.

i. Hi, I wanted to refer to your blog in my blog which I am writing about “How blogging, Online visibility is going to help Outsourcing and create more business.” I understand that the question would be why your Blog as it is totally disparate and yes that is the reason I wanted to highlight that there are enough individuals who have a passion of sharing online and Blogs can be channelized for professional growth and not just personal networking or as a personal channel. I would post my blog under an interesting competition going on with a chance to win $1000 (http://www.limeexchange.com/contest/details/2). Is it going to be alright with you?
