Winning the title and the factors

Another season ended in the English Premier League, with my favorite team Manchester United clinched their 16th league title, only 2 short from all time winner Liverpool FC with 18 league titles.
I must say even though the Red Devils won the title, it seems to me that actually there are contribution factors that helps united won the league. I am not saying the united not done well enough this year, I just think that if all the contribution factors do not exist, the ending of this year league results might be slightly different.
First, it can be said that actually besides Man Utd and Chelsea, other teams do not performed well this year. Liverpool had problem with consistency in the domestic league and Arsenal seems lost without their captain Thiery Henry which missed most of the league games through long term injury. Other teams seems just like trying to push for a place in the UEFA cup next year, or some just fighting to survive in the premiere league. With all these problem had their difficulties, Man Utd can steadily maintained their lead.
Secondly, Chelsea factors. Chelsea was unfortunate this year. They lost their magnificent goalkeeper Petr Cech during season start through head injury. They also lost their second goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini through injury as well. So they only have Huelerio to guard their goal post. This guys, well not that he is not good, but he is nowhere near Cech caliber. Chelsea also had problems at their center of defence, lack of back up. When John Terry and Ricardo Calvahlio got injured, Chelsea need to use Micheal Essien to cover that area. Essien is a good all rounder player, but lets face the fact that he is not a natural center half. This is where Jose Mourinho felt selling Robert Huth and Willy Gallas was in fact was a mistake. With all these inconsistency in the back line, Chelsea had difficulties during the starting point of the league, which it turns to be a favors for the Red Devils.
But anyway, Man Utd do play well this year. Christiano Ronaldo had a good season, Wayne Rooney also had a good season. Scholes and Giggsy also seems to find their old touch. Edwin Van Der Sar play superbly all season. Patrice Evra was a revolution at he left back. Darren Flecther seems maturing to be the potential midfielder that many had predicted he to be one day and last but not least, the fierce less, the wonderful header , the fast and furious Nemanja Vidic. He is my Man Utd player of the year, despite all the attention are turning to the magnificent Christiano Ronaldo.
We hope that Man Utd will be champion again for next year. Man Utd For Life!
