Making the back pages this morning, Monday May 12, 2008:

THE SUN: Alex Ferguson and Ryan Giggs made it a perfect 10 as they masterminded Manchester United's march to the title... Also: Goal hero Danny Murphy hailed boss Roy Hodgson after Fulham stayed up on goal difference.

DAILY MIRROR: Jubilant Sir Alex Ferguson challenged his title heroes to do the double by lifting the European Cup... Also: John Terry vowed to wreak revenge on Manchester United in the Champions League final after Chelsea lost out on the title yesterday.

DAILY STAR: Manchester United are just one game away from becoming the best team Sir Alex Ferguson has ever managed... Also: John Terry insists he will be fit to face Manchester United in the Champions League final despite dislocating his elbow.

DAILY EXPRESS: Ryan Giggs says he does not want records, just medals, having scored the goal that meant he ended up with both... Also: Birmingham have been thrown into chaos by relegation after Fulham won the final-day shoot-out to stay up, and Reading also sank into the second tier.

DAILY MAIL: Sir Alex Ferguson won his 10th Premier League title yesterday and challenged his players to prove themselves his best Manchester United side ever by winning the Champions League as well... Also: One down, one to go. Chelsea's assault on the Barclays Premier League came up short and Moscow is all that matters now.

THE TIMES: Sir Alex Ferguson jubilantly declared that Manchester United will "bounce" into the Champions League final against Chelsea next week after securing their tenth title in 16 seasons, adding that this team will eclipse the treble-winning side of 1999 if they secure the European crown in Moscow.

DAILY TELEGRAPH: How gloriously appropriate that Manchester United's match-winners yesterday, the men who swept them to a deserved Premier League title, were Cristiano Ronaldo, the Footballer of the Year, and Ryan Giggs, the embodiment of all that is good about this special club... Also: The end came for Birmingham City amid a clutter of meaningless goals, a large dollop of vitriol from the stands, and news that there may be changes in the club's ownership in the near future.

THE GUARDIAN: Sir Alex Ferguson strode the corridors of the JJB Stadium last night wearing the broadest of smiles and with a shiny, newly minted, Premier League winner's medal proudly adorning his neck... Also: John Terry insisted he would be fit to captain Chelsea in the Champions League final with Manchester United despite being carried off in the 1-1 draw against Bolton yesterday with a dislocated elbow.

THE INDEPENDENT: Ferguson's United claim record 10th Premier League title with victory at Wigan... Also: No Premier League title and no John Terry either. Or so we thought.
