English Premier League - News

Manchester City defender Gael Clichy signed a new four-year contract with the Premier League club on Sunday.

England manager Roy Hodgson on Sunday admitted his frustration that Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham have all planned exhibition matches thousands of miles away from home as soon as the Premier League season is completed this weekend.

Ferguson will take charge of United for the 1,500th and final time at West Brom, where veteran midfielder Paul Scholes could also make his last appearance for the champions after simultaneously announcing his retirement last week.

Wigan will soon be back in the Premier League despite having suffered relegation this season after eight years in the top flight, manager Roberto Martinez said.

United had wrestled back the title from their cross-town rivals with four games to spare and Dutch forward Robin van Persie, one of the catalysts for this triumph, said that proves they were worthy winners.

Carragher has spent his whole career at Anfield, winning the Champions League, two FA Cups and three League Cups, and the Merseyside-born star will fittingly bow out as captain for his 737th and last appearance for the Reds on Sunday against QPR.

Ferguson will leave Old Trafford at the end of the campaign after a trophy-laden 27-year stint in charge, with Moyes taking his place after after 11 years at Goodison Park.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been named Barclays Manager of the Season, and has won the Barclays Merit award for his outstanding contribution to the Premier League in a report on the club's website.

Remy joined QPR from Marseille in January for a club-record fee of 8 million pounds($12.2 million, 9.5 million euros), but despite scoring six goals since his arrival at Loftus Road, he could not prevent the team's relegation from the Premier League.

Paul Scholes says his former Manchester United and England team-mate David Beckham's decision to retire is a "sad day".
