English Premier League 2007/2008 - Congras Man Utd, Don't Cry Reading and Birmingham



Finally it's over! After 8 long gruelling months of agony and joy, the outcome was signed, sealed and delievered. There can only be one Champion and there will be 3 of them relegated.


My heartest congraluation to Fergies's Man Utd for retaining the title and showed us why they are best in England once again. While Reading, Birmingham and Derby will sing their own rendition of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" as they face life in the Championship.





Despite thrashing of Derby 4-0 and Blackburn 4-1 respectively, both Reading and Birmingham could not survived the dread drop. Reading was so close to staying up until Murphy scored the only goal at Fratton Park with 13 minutes remaining. It was heartbreak for the Brums and Royals. Over at the JJB Stadium, the title was made sure when Ronaldo scored from the spot and Giggs scored the 2nd goal. Over at the Stamford Bridge, a late goal from Davies ensure that the title does not decide by goal difference.


Middlesbrough scored the biggest win of the season by thrasing hapless Man City 8-1 after Dunne was sent off early in the 1st half. Elsewhere, the fight for the final UEFA spot was also decided on the last day when Everton won 3-1 against the Magpies.


Of course not forgetting my team, Liverpool. The Reds signed the season off with a pleasing 2-0 win away to Spurs. Voronin and Torres scored the goals. Torres broke Ruud Van Nisterooy's record at his debut season. It was a magnificent achievement for Torres. I am sure that more will come from El Nino next season.
I thoroughly enjoyed this season very much with the title and relegation going down to the final day.


Once again, I saluate Man Utd for being the Champion of England. The Red Devils are certainly history maker and they are one title short to equal Liverpool's record of 18 titles.

Before I end my BPL 07/08 blog for now, let me let off a friendly warning to Chelsea and Man Utd, Liverpool will be there next season. We will win the league next season!!
Till then, see you on 16th August for the 2008/2009 season.
