Manchester United captures 2008 English Premiership

Manchester United, champions of English football!

The 2007-08 English Premier League season finally concluded with the usual suspects, Man-U, winning the coveted English football title after beating Wigan 2-0 on the final day of the season.

This is now the 10th Premier League championship the Manchester United Red Devils have won in the last 16 years. Talk about domination huh? After taking it away from Chelsea last season, Man-U made sure that their title win last year was no fluke after successfully defending their crown despite the slow start to the season.

Speaking of Chelsea FC, they had the opportunity to make this year?s Premiership title chase interesting. They were up against Bolton on the final day of the season, holding a 1-0 lead. They could?ve had a 2-0 win over Bolton and steal the title away from their rivals from Man-U by taking over the points lead in the standings, instead, they gave up a goal merely a few minutes before the match ended, ending up with a 1-1 draw to the Bolton Wanderers and two points behind Man-U after the anticlimactic finish.

In the end, Manchester United finished with 87 championship points to win this year?s Premiership while Chelsea FC wound up with 85. This was the closest finish for the Premiership since Man-U edged Arsenal by a single point back in 1999.

Now, Manchester United, with 10 Premiership titles, will continue to chase the all-time record set by Liverpool of 18 league titles. Sure, these guys still have a long way to go before they get there but with young guns Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney on their side, eight more Premierships are not that too difficult to...
