The power of money in Football

It is unarguably the best football league in the world , especially the way the season ended, you can believe with me that it was quite a thriller,dramatic and the greatest of all time


For the English Premier League cup winners and third place to qualify for Champions league to be decided on the last day of the season  and also the relegation battle which saw Wigan Athletics  beat the former champions Manchester United and also Arsenal to drag themselves out  of the bottom of the league to a comfortable position and QPR  surviving at the mercy of Bolton Wanderes and still with Chelsea  finishing 6th place, 1st time in a decade and hoping to qualify through Champoins league final and also Tottenham Hot Spurs as 4th after there fantastic start of the season and also hoping that Chelsea lose the Champions League final, I suppose( LOL)  and with Arsenal  finishing 3rd and getting an automatic spot for Champions league after there poorest start and worst  defeat in so many years, goes a long way to prove the fact that EPL is the best and the most interesting .

As it stands the money boys of Manchester City dubbed the noisy neighbours by there rivals, the former  champions Manchester United,  after all the million of pounds the rich Arabian Sheik Mansour  Bin Zayed Al Nahyan the owner pumped into the football club to acquire  the best of the bests in the world of football, are now the current and reigning  Kings of the English Premiership League after 44 years by  coming from behind to win a 10 man QPR  3-2 .

QPR were 1- 1 all when   there captain Joey Barton  was sent off for punching Carlos Tevez  .But managed to score against 11 man Man city before  city made a great come back by scoring 2 goals few minutes before the end of added minutes to grab the winner.
And that brings the end of English Premier League  2011/ 2012 season to a very interesting, dramatic ,  and thrilling end.
