In an ideal world I'd like Aston Villa to win it as the have predominantly more English players than the others and this would benefit the game more but I know that this is not going to happen at least for the moment. If none of Martin o'Neill's players are tempted to united or Chelsea because Liverpool won the title then it might happen sooner rather than later. Until the monopoly is broken the top foreign players will mainly go to us and chelsea because they are guaranteed more wages, more medals and champions league football. Yes there will be players who will go to Manchester City for the money that they are undoubtedly able to pay but even if city can turn their present debacle around it's going to take a couple of seasons to have any impact. Man utd and liverpool hate each other because they know that either can beat the other - if they are honest neither set of fans can say the other team is rubbish. Why would I for instance want to see Liverpool relegated - imagine a season without United v Liverpool - I'd rather not.

Sorry, I still find it totally unbelievable that any sort of United fan would hope that Liverpool win the title, especially during a season when a league win would allow us to equal Liverpool's record. I've actually asked a few mates about this as well and the unanimous consensus is that you are on a wind up.
