Wayne Rooney
Jeremy and I were considering the possible teams Rooney could land in if he did leave Man U. I figured he’d go to Manchester City. But a basic wage of £150,000 a week will see his stay at the club for another five years, a sum that could reach £200,000. That’s… how should I put it… a lot. In USD, that’s $235,020 a week, that could increase to $313,360.

Chelsea Wins as Rooney is Again Injured
Coming into a highly anticipated weekend, Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea were well on their way to winning the Premier League title and ending Manchester United’s three-year run of being the Premier League champs. There was little risk going into Sunday, but that did not stop the boys in blue from thwarting Wigan Athletic 8-0 at Stamford Bridge.
On a day where dethroned champs Manchester United beat Stoke City by a score of 4-0, Chelsea set a new record of 103 goals scored in a single league campaign. The game featured Ivory Coast’s own Didier Drogba pulling out a hat trick, giving him 29 goals on the season and the Premier League Golden Boot award, edging Wayne Rooney out by 3 goals.
From the moment the ball was set in today’s match, Chelsea pounded Wigan in virtually every category possible. The moment Nicolas Anelka put a goal in the back on the net only six minutes in; you could get the feeling that Wigan fans were going to wish the off-season had started yesterday after this game was all finished. Frank Lampard continued the onslaught not to long after Anelka’s goal and everything began to unravel from there. It became quite inevitable that Chelsea was going to capture its third Premier League title in the last six years.
Not to far away at Old Trafford, Manchester United knew their bid for a fourth straight title had been put out. Unfortunately for England fans, their pain may last into June as England striker Wayne Rooney appeared to re-aggravate his groin issue in the 77th minute against Stoke City.
Of course for those rooting for say the United States; we will greatly accept any help we can get going into June’s World Cup. Wayne Rooney’s injury is definitely one to monitor going forward. Though, I will add that it’s going to be very tough to keep that injury from reoccurring throughout the world cup.
With all that said Chelsea fans could care less as they sit back and enjoy their championship title, as they should. But next year will be an entirely different ordeal. Don’t think for one second that this won’t leave a bad taste in every Man U player’s mouth. The Red devils are sure to be in the hunt again in 2010-2011. But with the end of the Premier League season, every soccer fan welcomes this upcoming months World Cup.

English Premier League 09/10
Chelsea is poised to win the English Premier League this season, as they are four points clear of Manchester United. Man U lead Sunderland 1-0 at the moment and are likely to tack on another goal or two in the second half, I believe. This would lead to the last game of the season, where Chelsea will host Wigan at Stamford Bridge and Manchester United will host Stoke City at Old Trafford. Both of the top two teams are more than likely to win that last game, meaning there will be a new champion to the premier league this season, as Man U are the defending champions the last three years running.
The only top European league with a mathematically crowned champion is the Scottish Premier League, where Rangers have been three to four games clear of Celtic for what seems like forever.
Several of the top European leagues have a likely champion, one who has created a gap between themselves and second place with a few games left to go, as is the case with Marseille in France, and Bayern Munich in Germany who have a three point lead with a game to go.
The rest have a close race to the title, Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, and Roma and Inter Milan in Italy.
This past season has been a more than decent year for football, and hopefully this means it will be a more than decent World Cup.
