The English Football League kicked off with its first round of matches on September 8 1888. Conceived 6 months earlier in Anderton's hotel, Fleet Street, London twelve teams from the midlands and north began their quest to be crowned the nation's first champions.
Last year's campaign was one of the most enthralling and competitive seasons for a few years. Man Utd eventually won the title by 6 points with Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal making up the top quartet. Will this year be as interesting? My guess is without a doubt, yes. Teams have strengthened.......
The final will take place between the two winners from the semi finals which will take place two weeks prior to the final match. The 128th FA cup final will take place on 30th may 2009 at Wembley Stadium; making it the new stadium’s third year of hosting the oldest football competition in the world.
As of the 2009–10 season qualification for the UEFA champions League changes. The top four teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League, with the top three teams directly entering the group stage. The Premier League was recently promoted to the top of the UEFA rankings of European leagues based on their performances in European competitions over a five-year period. This broke the eight-year dominance of the Spanish league, La Liga.
For the third consecutive time, the Manchester United has appropriated the trophy of the English Premier League; this time the team obtained it after facing Arsenal in match that although finished without goals, helped the red devils to reach one more point to add a total of 87 which was enough for them to get the championship since their closest pursuer is Liverpool which has 83 points and with only one game left in the competition, they do not have opportunity to reach them.
