HISTORY: MADE IN OLD TRAFFORD...AGAIN!

It was an amazing night of celebrations for every Manchester United fan world over as they sealed off an emphatic 3-0 win at Old Trafford against a hapless Aston Villa side that was simply no match for the rampaging red devils. However, no player deserved the crown for the EPL more than Dutch international Robin VanPersie. The ex-Arsenal talisman who joined the Theater of Dreams last year has been nothing short of sensational and extremely instrumental to Manchester United's successful bid to unseat her wealthy but noisy neighbours on the blue side of town.

It was the acute sharpness of the Dutchman that opened the score sheet as early as in the 83rd second of the game. This was followed by a thunderous volley in the 13th minute via a sumptuous long pass from Wayne Rooney which the Dutchman dispatched in typical fashion. By the 33rd minute, Robin VanPersie netted a third when veteran Ryan Giggs found him in the box, getting his second hat-trick of the season and taking his impressive haul of goals to 23. The celebrations erupted almost immediately. Robin VanPersie who wears the No. 20 shirt is without doubt the arrowhead whose over 20 goals handed United a 20th League Title. He has now scored five Premier League hat-tricks, elevating him to the same pedestal that holds the names of Andy Cole, Dimitar Berbatov, Ian Wright and Ruud VanNisterooy.

It is quite an injustice to consider the fact that a player of such pedigree is getting his first League Title after a stellar career in England. Since January 1st 2011, the Dutch striker has scored an astounding 72 goals in 89 League appearances. Last night, he joined the league of players who left the Emirates in search of greener pastures and immediately struck gold.

What better way to silence the critics and fanatics who heavily criticised the top striker for his controversial £22.5million departure when United face Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday, the 28th of April. Its is quite likely that Robin VanPersie and the rest of the United team will get a hero's welcome as a corridor of applause better known as a guard of honour will be formed by his former team mates when he appears at the Emirate Stadium for the first time since his departure.

This would definitely prove to be most embarrassing for many Gunner fans who wrongly predicted that he would amount to nothing at the Theater of Dreams. They failed to realise that dreams do come true at the Theater of Dreams, especially when its in the voice of a little boy speaking from the heart. How's that for poetic justice?

I celebrate with all Manchester United fans all over the world on our 20th League Title. A roller coaster season it was. Title 21 looms on the horizon...

We are United!

PS: Veteran Ryan Giggs has now won the English Premiership Title a whooping 13 times, as much as Arsenal have in total. Wow!
