Premiere League 2008 – Final day round up
So Man U win the title thanks to a Ronaldo Penalty and a Giggs (possibly offside) goal. For Chelsea they managed to draw with Bolton. Chelsea also looked like a bunch of blokes not a team, a collection of individuals who don’t seem to get on. Leadership on and off the field was lacking. Next season with a decent manager and a clear out of some of the less team minded players should give them some decent improvement.
At the bottom end Birmingham and Reading go down and frankly they should have sent Fulham down as well. Reading scoring 4 on the final day, but I don’t suppose Coppel knows what irony is. Other interesting result was Borough 8 Man City 1. Not a great end to what seems likely to be Svens brief stay.
In fairness it was a fair result at the top which summed up both teams seasons, Man U just a little too good and Chelsea just not good enough. At the bottom it was touch and go and made for an dramatic day, but there is still too much disparity between the top and bottom of the table.
To make it really interesting and the best league in the world there needs to be a much, much smaller point difference between the winners and the bottom – excluding the pathetic Derby. 50 points is way too much and something needs to be done.
