Manchester United
Manchester United are the most successful Premier League club having won the title 12 times. It all began in 1993 when manager Sir Alex Ferguson ended a 26-year wait to lift the Premier League crown.The signing of Eric CantonaEric Cantona for £1.2m from Leeds United proved a masterstroke as the Frenchman was instrumental in the title victory, along with the likes of Gary Pallister, Denis IrwinDenis Irwin, Ryan GiggsRyan Giggs and Paul Ince.
United retained the trophy in the following campaign and romped to further titles in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003. More silverware was added to the Red Devils' burgeoning trophy cabinet with FA Cup success in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2004, plus League Cup victories in 1992 and 2006. Perhaps the most memorable time in the club's history was the treble-winning season of 1999 when they added the European Champions League trophy to the league title and FA Cup.
Chelsea briefly broke their league dominance with title wins in 2005 and 2006. But in the 2006/07 season, the Red Devils roared back to regain the Barclays Premiership. They went one better in 2007/08, enjoying their most successful campaign since winning the treble. They saw off the challenge of Chelsea and Arsenal to win an exciting Barclays Premier League title race and defeated the Blues on penalties in the Champions League final after a 1-1 draw between the two sides in Moscow.
In 2008/09, United made it a hat-trick of titles, also winning the Carling Cup but narrowly missing out to Barcelona in the Champions League final. They retained the Carling Cup in 2010 but finished a point behind Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League after a tense race which went to the final day of the campaign. However they recovered to reclaim the Barclays Premier League title in 2011, finishing nine points clear of Chelsea and Manchester City. They also reached the Champions League final, taking on Barcelona at Wembley but losing 3-1.

The hidden secrets of Cameron’s bathroom
A bathroom is, after all, a place for privacy even it is that of No 10 Downing Street. But – there are people who believe that the privacy of the bathroom can be encroached upon and invaded.
It seems Tim Watson, the Labour MP has demanded information on the new furbishing of the bathroom of No. 10 Downing Street. These have been changed under the instructions of the Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.
Apparently, the full quota of money meant for upkeep of the total flat consisting of the living room, bedrooms etcetera was spent only on the rewiring, plumbing and decorating of the bathroom.
Tom Watson wants the information to be revealed based on the Freedom of Information act.

‘Islamic Sex’ Manual Faces Ban In Malaysia
The Malaysian government has imposed a ban on the 115-page ‘Islamic Sex’ manual written by the founder and president of the Obedient Wives Club, Fauziah Arrifin, on grounds that the controversial manual might confuse Malaysian Muslims about ‘what constitutes acceptable religious teachings,’ gma news said.
The manual teaches women to "be submissive and keep their spouses happy in the bedroom", with passages educating couples on how they should physically and spiritually approach sex. Club leaders, who argued that a wife should serve as a ‘good sex worker’ and a ‘whore’ to her husband, said the manual was intended to be a spiritual guide read exclusively by club members ‘to help them understand better sex.’
Many Malaysians denounced the ‘club’ because it made a ‘mockery’ of modern gender roles where women hold prominent posts in government and in the private sector. As a result, the Malaysian government was imposing a fine of 5,000 ringgit for those who were caught in possession of the ‘book’ and 20,000 ringgit and an imprisonment of three years for those who makes copies for sale.
He club, which was believed to have at least 800 members in Malaysia and has branches in Indonesia, Singapore, Jordan and Britain, insisted the practice helped husbands to avoid committing adultery.
