There are two things that every football fan will die for at the end of an EPL season: an extremely close fight for the title; and an equally scrappy, entertaining struggle at the bottom for deciding the three relegation contenders. While I am happy to say that the relegation battle threatens to get ever-too interesting in the coming weekends, I am afraid that the title race is already over, with Manchester United having got a firm stranglehold on the title after Chelsea's drab, 1-1 draw with Wigan at Stamford Bridge.....Hats off to Manchester United though (and this should count for something coming from a person who is anti ManU from the bottom of his heart) for the way they have played all season, the Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez trio at the front combined with a menacing looking midfield (Giggs, Scholes, Hargreaves, Carrick) and a solid defence makes them deserved champions if they go on to win it.
With the premiership saturday gone and no champions league or IPL to fall back onto in the mid-week I happened to stumble on a roadside bookstall and ended up picking a copy of Khaled Hosseini's (The Kite Runner) second literary work 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. I would say it was one of my finest purchases with regards to books for a long long time, a wonderful novel dealing with the lives of two women, set on the backdrop of a war ravaged Afghanistan under the Taliban regime......
