Just-Football´s Readers Have Spoken

Its official. According to readers of Just-Football, Manchester United will win the English Premier League this season. Back in August, on the eve of the new football season we opened a poll asking who would win the 2008/2009 Premier League.

Over the last month or so voting has been taking place, with United and Chelsea neck-and-neck for long spells of the voting. Eventually though it was the current English champions who narrowly triumphed in the polls, winning 34% of the votes to Chelsea´s 32%. Liverpool had a late surge with many late backers, but they ended up further behind in 3rd with 19% of the votes. If Just-Football´s readers are anything to go by though few people consider Arsenal in with any chance of winning the title this season. Arsene Wenger´s men amassed just 10% of the votes. Therefore, according to you the people, the Premier League top four will finish like so in May 2009:

1, Manchester United
2, Chelsea
3, Liverpool
4, Arsenal

So I guess Sky need not worry about their coverage anymore, we all now know how the 2008/2009 title race will pan out!

Thanks very much for voting in this poll. Given Liverpool´s promising start to the season many followers of the Reds might disagree strongly with the results of this, especially given United´s own early season lack of form. And Arsenal fans, do you feel this is a realistic representation of your hopes for the league title? Of course we´d love to hear your comments. A new poll has now been opened, which you can view and vote on down the right hand side.
