Great end to the BEST premier league.


Pin It

On a final day that had so much at stake for so many teams, the premier league didn't fail to deliver yet more twist and turns and a final few minutes that saw Manchester City fans go from deep disappointment thinking that they were to miss out yet again, to utter jubilation and celebration at the Etihad Stadium. Only to leave Manchester Utd (who beat Sunderland 1-0) fans and the rest of the footballing world asking "HOW THEY DID IT?" Drama all the way to the last kick of the season.

Elsewhere Bolton bowed out of the Premiership after an 11 year stay, after a very difficult season both on and off the field. Meaning that even with their loss at the Etihad QPR avoid the drop, but will have a lot to do over the closed season to stay up again next season.

Then there was the race for the Champions League.

Arsenal had a scare in the first half going behind at West Brom, (eventually winning 3-2) and Spurs taking the lead at Fulham, (winning 2-0) both securing their place. Meaning Chelsea miss out unless they can lift the Champions League trophy next week in Munich. This would be heart breaking for Spurs meaning they would miss out so will be a tough week for Spurs fans and players alike. 

Then there's Newcastle who lost 3-1 to an Everton side that has just got stronger in the latter stages of the season, that just missed out finishing in 5th. No doubt Newcastle will be up there next season after making doing some very shrewd business bringing in the likes of Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba. And with Alan Pardew in charge they will go from strength to strength, he has certainly deserved his Manger of the year award. Even though many including myself questioned his appointment early on. Great to be proved wrong though. 

So all we can hope for is the same amount of drama on the 19th MAY and the Champions League Final between Bayern Munich V Chelsea. Do you think Chelsea can turn over the German outfit in their own backyard? 

What are your predictions?
