All over bar the shouting

APART from the occasional overnight blip, the leadership of the Premier League effectively changed hands nine times this season.

For Manchester United to retain their title, that needed to happen for a tenth time over the weekend. It didn’t. Barring an almighty upset, Chelsea will be crowned next Sunday.

And I wasn’t at all surprised at how easily Ancelotti’s team won at Anfield (on Chelsea’s previous two Premier League doubles over Liverpool they also went on to win the title) yet it had absolutely nothing to do with opponents deliberately ‘rolling over’. That was never going to happen.
