Relieved Fergie celebrates 'special' title win

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he was 'in agony' watching the end of Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Arsenal which confirmed Manchester United as Barclays Premiership champions.

United have a seven-point lead over second-placed Chelsea with two games remaining after they beat Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday and Jose Mourinho's side could only draw in north London. It means Ferguson can take his team to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night having already reclaimed the title from the Blues, who had won it for the last two seasons. There were few chances at the Emirates Stadium today before Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz was shown a red card for hauling down Julio Baptista on 42 minutes and Gilberto converted the resulting penalty. Michael Essien's close-range header with 20 minutes left gave the Blues brief hope - but a draw was not enough and United were champions again for the first time since 2003, their ninth Premiership crown

I am poundin all the time till the first goal scored in by Gilberto...and then the red card shown...then the rest is history.....

I am proud of the resistances put in by Sir Alex Ferguson against the power of wealth. He does prove it all, money and power doesn't means winning for sure.... Bravo....
