'Red Devils' replace Blues as champions


Manchester United regained the English Premiership title on Sunday after closest rivals Chelsea were held 1-1 by Arsenal.
With two matches to play United, who last won the title four years ago, hold a seven-point advantage over Chelsea, who have won it for the past two seasons.

United had beaten Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty - his 23rd goal of the season - and Chelsea were up against it when they went 1-0 down and lost Khalid Bouhlarouz - who was sent-off - in the first-half.

Michael Essien levelled for the Blues in the second-half but they were unable to get the winner that would have kept the title race alive giving them their second disappointment of the week after Liverpool knocked them out of the Champions League last Tuesday.

United manager Six Alex Ferguson revealed he'd watched only the last few minutes of the events unfolding at the Emirates stadium.

"I went to watch my grandson play, he won his league, we won ours! Then I went home to watch the race (the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket), then switched over for the end of the game.

"It's a fantastic day for the club, we've had a great season."

Asked by Sky Sports whether this was the most satisfying title to have won Ferguson said: "They're all good. It was a big job to catch Chelsea and we did that very well, our good early start gave us momentum."

Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
As the reds go marching on, on, on.

united had been very lucky becuase other teams didnot pay much attention to them and took them easily.
for example when playing any of the bottom half teams like sheffiled and watford middlesbrough. when against Chelsea they used to play their best team and give 200% because they were playing champions and their is nothing like playing champions and trying to beat them.
but when playing against manu they use to put their 2nd string side saying its just manu, we can beat them with our reserves and will make them an easy match for them.

but still they won congratulations to them
they won because they did not had an injury crises like chelsea. when anyone involved in our defence was injured and we have to play Essien and diarra and gerimy most of the time in defence and even Essien along with Mekelele as centerhalfs for two mathces. not to mention carrer ending injuries to our goalkeepers who still some how came back to play.
