MANCHESTER UNITED 2006-2007 BARCLAYS PREMIERE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS



MANCHESTER UNITED - 2006-2007 BARCLAYS PREMIERE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

With the 1-1 draw between Chelsea (down to 10 men in the second half) and Arsenal at Emirates Stadium Sunday, Manchester United's 88 points place it in unassailable position as the Champions of Barclay's English Premiere League.

Manchester's Red Devils once again stand atop the ranks of one of the most exciting football/soccer leagues on the planet.

This is the result of a season of hard work by Sir Alex Ferguson's men, hammering away at opposition week after week. That the championship is decided two weeks before the end of the season speaks volumes about Manchester's work rate, and this blogger is happy to see his "favourite" English team as League champions once again.

This is delightful news for Manchester fans, who had a huge letdown with the Manchester 5-3 loss against this blogger's favorite Italian team, AC Milan, on Wednesday, May 2.

Now the battle will focus on lower ranks, with 2nd, 3rd and 4th places up for grabs between Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, with the English contingent in the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League competition remaining the same as this year's crop.

Now worldwide soccer fans look to the face-off between Liverpool and AC Milan for the UEFA Champions League final in Athens on May 23, 2007. Go AC MILAN!
