My Thought For the 05/06 EPL Season

Last Sunday was the day the English Premier League ended, with unsurprisingly the invincible Chelsea retained the title. Second was Manchester United with my team, Liverpool only a point drifting behind. The fourth slot for Champions League went to Arsenal with a dramatic win.

Liverpool were clearly improving. They were fifth last season and they were behind champions Chelsea for about 37 points. This time, the points gap reduced to just nine. However, this could not reflect the real improvement because simply Chelsea won the title with still two games to go and they lost the them. Anyhow, Liverpool were surely tried hard to catch up and they did it well. I think they were just unlucky to claim the second place.

While Liverpool managed to get 82 points this season, their performances were very good. They were only one short of the most clean sheets in a season. I firmly believe they would equal the record because Liverpool still have a final game to play and that is the most famous cup in the world, the FA Cup, against West Ham.

Right now, they just have to improve their goal scoring record, in my opinion. If they could solve the goal-shy problem then it would be great for the team and the supporters.

Finally, I would like to congratulate Arsenal for getting the final ticket to Champions League and their glorious record in their ground, Highbury. Emirates Stadium, they are going for the next season. Good luck!
