Manchester United were crowned champions of
England for a record-equalling 18th time at Old Trafford on
Saturday.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side might not have given Usain Bolt a goal
to celebrate on his first visit to the Theatre of Dreams but the
Premier League trophy will do as consolation after a goalless draw
with Arsenal ensured Liverpool cannot now catch their north-west
rivals.
After over three decades as the unquestioned kings of English
football, the Merseysiders now have someone else to share the title
with.
And, if Ferguson is to be believed it will not be long before
the Anfield outfit lose it altogether.

JUST CHAMPION ... Alex Ferguson celebrates
Manchester United's 18th top-flight title
United matched Liverpool's 18 top-flight titles by
picking up the point they needed against Arsenal to see off the
Kop's challenge.
But Ferguson, winning his 11th Premier League, insisted
passing Liverpool by making it 19 next year would be even
sweeter.
