Goaless win

Sorry this came 1 day late.

Manchester United has clinched a record equaling 18th title to draw grounds with Liverpool as the most successful English teams of all time. Its number 11 for Sir Alex of a blistering career that looks to be creeping towards its end. When Liverpool won their 18th league title in 1990, nobody thought Manchester United would have been level 19 years later. It was an interesting season on Manchester United's part. Early on they looked to be incapable of retaining the title as Chelsea and Liverpool looked strong as the last 2 remaining undefeated teams. But somehow the Red Devils clawed their way back to the top but even then there was work to do. Main factors of the season are too many to state but mostly all down to the intense depth of the team that carried them past the finish line. From the ever fearful attackin force made up by Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, and Carlos Tevez, to the every fearless defense that was led by Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra and John O'shea.

The midfield creativity of numerous players both young and old. And of course the dynamic display by Edwin Van der Sar who stood tall and strong to keep his goal clean for 1311 minutes. I myself felt that the perfect balance of young spirited teens and experienced head strong veterens was what set them apart. There was no doubt that the talent given to Macheda, Welback, Evans, Da silva and Gibson were harnest to its peak by the guidance of Giggs, Scholes and Neville. The pivotol fixtures are clear. The losses against Liverpool and Fulham were tragic but United kept their cool and it showed in stoppage time against Aston Villa when a certain young lad they call Kiko scored a wonderful winner on his debut. And he did it again in the match against Sunderland the following week. Other title deciders such as coming back from 2-0 down at half time against Spurs to score 5 goals in the 2nd half. It is but simple fact that the "fab four" attack of United scored 71 goals in total.

The future of Tevez and Ronaldo is uncertain for next season. But in the name of United they will carry on as they have through any challenges. Not many clubs can win 11 come 2nd 3 times and 3rd another 3 times in just a 17 year period. Next year they will try again. No team every have won the title 4 times in a row. But if there is a record to be broken, United will be 1st in line. Rome next. Catalans beware!
