Manchester United wrapped up it’s third straight English Premier League title yesterday with it’s 0-0 tie game yesterday with Arsenal. All Man U needed to lock up the title was one single point. A scoreless draw with Arsenal game them that one point.
Not only is this the 3rd straight English Premier League title for Manchester United, it marks the 11th championship in the last 17 seasons, which I guess means they are really good or something.
Since it’s inception in 1991, only four teams, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal, and Chelsea, have been English Premier League Champions. One might say that the EPL surfers from a acute inequality. Since the 1994-95 season, only three clubs have won the championship.
This year, it’s once again Manchester United.

/ May 17, 2009I don’t get it- I’m into sports somewhat, I love to see scraps and fights and good contests, etc. but I just can’t warm up to soccer. Is there something wrong with me?

/ May 18, 2009@Lee B.: Na, nothing wrong with you. It just takes some getting use to. I didn’t appreciate it until I started watching the English Premiere League. The more I watch it, the more I cannot stand watching American sports with all the timeouts and the commercial breaks. You don’t even realize just how many there are until you watch a game where there are no commercial breaks.
