Chelsea has secured its fourth English title after an 8-0 win over Wigan, holding off Manchester United to end the Red Devils' three year reign atop the Premier League.

Chelsea finishes the season having won eleven matches by three or more goals. Their 86 points were one more than Manchester United, while their +63 goal difference was nine better than United's, helped by the Blues' 103 goals scored. It was the first time in 47 years a team had scored more than 100 goals in an English top-flight season.

Chelsea needed their three points, with United winning 4-0 over Stoke at Old Trafford. Darren Fletcher, Ryan Giggs, and Park Ji-Sung had goals for the runners-up, with Stoke's Danny Higginbotham adding an own goal.

By the same score, Arsenal secured third place, holding off Tottenham Hotspur with a 4-0 win at the Emirates over Fulham. Arshavin, van Persie and Carlos Vela had goals, while Fulham's Chris Baird added an own goal.

Soccer is not a propper way of settling a dispute. Random acts of kindness however, can get it's message through. The wings of a sparrow and the birds of the world, knowing that we can alleviate the world, hurled into the space where our attention can choose, are we weighing out our options? As though it was a choice to win or lose....the crayons on the playground help the young children express, so how can we as adults be put to the test and still know what's best for each moment, each example of our overcoming, each journey into the unknown, each lesson to learn as though our vanity wasn't something to get drunk off of but to guess that there was some reason for the remedy and the ready monks might make a moment worth something more that we already know, that the candid camera was operating and the opera was a movie for the people to consider, therefore, sharing the season with the reason to believe in a future of fanciful outcomes as simple as peace, we seem to have the advantage and we have no time to be living a stagnant life of complacency, so what the hell, push ourselves to strive for something worthwhile, forgive ourselves for something, seek help from within and learn to dance some foreign footwork to get our minds out of the gutters and into the art of catching rainwater, very good!

yeah it was one of the most sensational matches of soccer. a good thought omega but it s more sort of a philosophical way of thinking about it this way.
