Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
...and the 18th title!!!!!
Not a classic game but job done.
Liverpool did push us but not enough to wrestle the crown from our grasp.
Rome here we come.

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
Will Macheda get a medal or has he not qualified for enough games?

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
Congratulations. Worthy champions. Overcame a poor start to the season but picked up steam, and over the next few months have ground out the results that have been needed. Turning point was the response after the defeats to Liverpool and Fulham. The recovery wins against Villa and Spurs showed the determination and desire

He doesn't qualify for one automatically. If i am correct a player has to feature in 10 games.

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
Congratulations. Pity it didn't go down to the last day so Liverpool could truly 'challenge'.

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
Well done to ManU. they have not scored most goals, not conceded fewest, lost least or even TBH played the best football BUT when the chips were down they were able to take a beating and do enough over the season.
Shame for Liverpool, they did well but despite beating their main rivals home and away, drawing with Stoke twice and losing at Boro is ultimately what lost them the title. Ominous for next year that Chelsea may have the stability to really challenge for the first time in a while, Arsenal may buy in some experience plus get a decent injury free run and Liverpool may be able to build on a more respectable season. ManU may need to actually come out of third gear because that is what they have been in all year; winning the league at a gentle saunter rather than needing to out sprint rivals to the line.

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
I wouldn't say it was the losses. Every team gets those throughout a season. It was the countless draws we failed to win, whereas Man Utd nicked the 1 goal winning margin

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
Alan Hansen's thoughts which holds some truth:

I think if you take Liverpool's best team one to 11, they can compete with Manchester United, but the champions have the edge from numbers 12 to 20.

Re: Manchester United - Premiership Champions
fair play to liverpool , they pushed us well this year ( it wasnt good enough...  ) but hey ho. Thems the breaks..
So thats 3 in a row ( again a fact ) for the second time becoming the first team to win a hat-trick twice ( another fact for you rafa ) .
Not the best game today but job jobbed.
Roll on the 27th
