Congratulations Chelsea,Well done Pompey.

Chelsea have done it again. They have won the premiership for the second time in a row after beating Manchester United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge. Winning two premiership titles back to back is a remarkable feat. Add the fact that they took the leadership of the table from very early on in the season and never looked uncomfortable at any stage, then you get a picture of a team that has potential to dominate the English premier league for a long time. No wonder they finished twelve points clear of their nearest rivals.

I begrudgingly congratulate Chelsea because as an Arsenal fan, my loyalties are in North London. I am quite elated that Arsenal continue setting new records, the most recent being that of becoming the first club from London to have qualified for a Champions League final. Chelsea and the Stamford Bridge fans cannot do much about that. We beat them to the finishing line. Don't forget that our unbeaten run two seasons ago is yet to be matched by any other team including Chelsea and its vast financial power.

And at the bottom of the Premiership, another team I have great respect for has survived the relegation battle. Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth has managed to string a decent set of results in the last ten or so matches and now they have all the reasons to smile. I too feel excited and remain proud that things have gone the right way for such a hardworking side.
