Manchester United win the Premiership

Manchester United have won the Premiership today with a 2-0 win away at the JJB.  The title was never in much doubt after Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the spot, and Ryan Giggs added a goal late to put the game out of reach and hand the title to the Red Devils.  All that remains for Manchester United is the Champions League final.  Their opponent, Chelsea will want to stop them after failing to win the league on the final day.  The Red Devils will be going for a double, and Avram Grant's job may hang in the balance.  Sir Alex Ferguson had his boys ready, and the preparation payed off with the title.  To salvage the season at Stamford Bridge, they will certainly have to beat Manchester United; a task they are capable of pulling off having already beat them once this year.  An exciting end to the year, and a repeat champion, I'm already looking forward to next season.

Avram Grant is a goner unless Chelsea beats ManU. Grant has done a decent job. But he was brought in to win the Premiership, not finish second.

The Sky Sports announcers gave him a Kaynahorah ("evil eye") by pronouncing, with 5 minutes to play, that this will be the first time in English Premiership history that the title was decided by goal differential.
