There is no surprise that Manchester United got their vital point with the 1-1 draw against Blackburn to clinch that premier league title. Congratulation to Sir Alex and his team, they deserve the title. I am a gentleman =D
Many of the fans around me, especially Chelsea and Arsenal's fans chose to ignore the remaining fixture since they got nothing to win now. They are more interested in discussing which players should be sold and who should their clubs bring in to strengthen their squad.
For me, BPL is still interesting even though Man Utd has been crown champion. You know what I mean, just look at the relegation zone. I have to say, this is the most exciting relegation battle ever. With one game remaining, there are five teams which may go down to the Championship Football League next season. The margin between No.15 (Blackburn) and No.19 (Wigan) is just a point. The five teams that are facing the relegation threat are Blackburn (40pts), Wolves (40pts), Birmingham (39pts), Blackpool (39pts) and Wigan (39pts). Two of them have to go down next week.

Wigan's key player, N'Zogbia. |
Wigan Athletic: In my opinion, Wigan has the best chance to escape from the relegation zone by the end of the day even they are at the 19th place currently due to the goal differences. Their opponent next week will be Stoke City. Since Stoke have nothing to fight for, Tony Pulis may do them a favor.

Will Blackburn's players the last men 'smiling' after next week? |
Blackburn and Wolves: Both of them can be optimistic since they got their own fate in their own hands. Wolves will be hosting Blackburn at Edwood Park next week. Both of them will be looking for all 3 points to ensure that they are stay at the Premier League next season. A draw which gives them 41 points each may not be enough.

Blackpool's skipper, Charlie Adam. |
Blackpool: Blackpool's situation is interesting. They will be playing the Champ, Man Utd at Old Trafford. I think Sir Alex may do Ian Holloway a favor by resting his key players like Rooney, Hernandez, Giggs, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar for the Champions League Final. I can see Blackpool to at least grab a point from Old Trafford. The question is, is a point really good enough for Ian Holloway's side to stay at the top?

Carling Cup's winner relegated? |
Birmingham: Which team has the worst chance to stay at the Premier League? Birmingham City. They have to play Tottenham Hotspur who are fighting to get their next season's entrance ticket for Europa League. This season may turn out to be a weird one for the Blues. They beat Arsenal to win the League Cup and now, they may go down to the Championship Football League. If I am one of the Birmingham's fans, I would rather sacrifice the League Cup for a chance to stay at the Premier League.

The best definition of 'Loser'. |
Oops, you said I miss something? Avram Grant? I do not like to waste my energy on a manager that unable to save his team from relegation for two straight seasons. What should I call that? Back 2 Back relegated? That's pathetic!!!!
