**** BARCLAY'S PREMIER LEAGUE 38th DAY - FINALS ****
By Paula Tooths


SKYBLUE CHAMPIONS!!! - With Ageros last gasp winner.

Full time season packed with emotions. Nobody could predict who would really end up champions up to the last second. For the first time, Barclays premier league has been decided on by goal difference.

Mancini made a marvelous job and of course all of the players had a particular participation, but was Agero, a little argentinian who scored the goal on the 4th minute of extra time against QPR, who was almost relegated and made all the history of this season.

QPR have been for 90 minutes the big hero, transfering the title to United. on 58' Barton - who recently left prision - kicked Carlos Tevez and was sent off, leaving Queens Park with just 10 men. Even this situation wasn't a trouble.

The result of this match was 3x2 to MCfc, but much stress till the very last goal. City started with a Zabaletas goal on 39'; Then Cessi (48') and Mackie (64') swap the whole results on the table. End of 90' minutes and apparently the trophy was going to MUfc. The signs showed 5' extra time and nobody could believe anymore in a victory which was a big betting of UK. Dzeko scored at 91' and still they needed a new goal. As said Maradona once, was a help of God, appeared just a minute later his 23 years old son-in-law, Kun Agero - who took a yellow card - scored again and garanteed the podium to Skyblues after 44 years in the bottle.

The Belgian Captain Kompany was first to stand with the trophy and shared with his collegues and all the stadium came alive to sing and dance to 'Hey Jude' from the Beatles.

Deserved, congrats to City!




SUNDERLAND 0 X 1 MAN UTD

It Wasn't that easy the away match, but counting with Rooneys goal at 20' made Mr. Alex and all the sponsors in the world believes MUfc were to be the champions of this season.

Arsene screaming with his boys managed to revert it to 2x3 with goals from Andre Santos (30') and Koscielny (54')




Everton 3 x 1 Newcastle

With no doubt, Newcastle been the dark horse of the season and finish the Premier League on 5th, above Chelsea.

Everton did well in doors and scored 4 times. Pienaar (16), Jelavic (27) and Heitinga (65'). When was 3x0, at 73' trying the deffence, Hibbert scored a own goal.

Stoke 2 x 2 Bolton

The draw which relegated Bolton wasn't aggressive at all and had 6 minutes of extra time.

The two goals from Stoke come from Walters at 13' and 77'.

Fighting for there life, the feeling was that they just had one player giving the blood to carry on the Premier League: Davies, who scored twice for Bolton at 39' and 45'.




Wigan 3 x 2 Wolves

Keeping the positions, Graham scored at 86' when the most of other matches had already ended.




Chelsea 2 x 1 Blackburn

The big Blues played at home to an easy match. For Chelsea, an unsatisfactory sixth place, their worst in a decade. Looks like Matteo focused so much on the Champions league, but if his team do not win the final against Bayern Munich, they wont garrantee the 4th English spot, giving it away to Tottenham, who is at the moment on the ''wait list''.

Captain Terry scored for Chelsea at 31' and just 3 minutes later all Stamford Bridge screamed Goaaal again when the Portuguese Raul Meireles scored.

The goal that reduced the difference for the already realegated Rovers comes from Yakubu at 60'.




Spurs 2 x 0 Fulham

The White hart vibrated with the results on the full time but expected for whole 90 minutes an extra goal on the match W.Brom x Arsenal, where was the unique chance to garrentee the spot in the champions league before the match Chelsea x Bay happen on May19. Now, is time for a moment of waiting. If Chelsea lose, Tottenham will play the next cup, but if the Blues win, Spurs will be out of competition this year.

to resume, Harrys team played well, disapointed with Bale who didnt put all of his potencial but surprised with the 'kiwi' Ryan Nelsen, who even playing as a defender, open some oppertunities for goals.

Adebayor open the big finals with the first goal of the 38th round, at 2' and Defoe confirmed scoring again at 63'.

Tottenham had a excellent performance this season, but after Redknepp was advertised as a next potential English Squad manager, the country saw Spurs going down a bit.With the appointment of roy hodgson that all seems in the past and spurs are back to there winning ways.
