The New Season Beckons
Wow, what a fantastic season! The dominance of the English Premier League shifted from the north, to London, in what was an exhilarating campaign.
In years past, the benchmark to become Champions was 'lose no more than 5 games and you've got a chance to lift the Premiership Trophy'. Arsenal, stupendously, obliterated that belief by traversing the Premier League season of 38 games without being beaten!
Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool & Newcastle finished 2,3,4 & 5 respectively. Aston Villa (3rd from bottom in November) fought back to compete for a 5th place finish but missed out on goal difference on the last day. Fulham, Bolton and Birmingham each had an amazing season, all finishing in respectable positions. And what about Portsmouth? by finishing 13th (not unlucky for them), they outshone the likes of Blackburn, Everton, Manchester City and Tottenham .... great stuff.
Unfortunately though, Leeds United were condemned to relegation and they will be missed in the top flight next season.
So, the 2004/2005 campaign beckons and we can't wait for the kick-off on August 14th 2004, it can only get better. To make sure you don't miss out on the excitement of what will be an enthralling battle, we are already taking bookings for Match Packages for the 2004/2005 season. Learn more.
