Title Decider

Man United play Chelsea at the Theatre of Dreams on Sunday as the pick of the weekend's matches. This is potentially the title decider for the Premier League season.
We really have to give Chelsea a lot of credit for closing a 15 point gap on Man United to just 3 points. They really done fantastically well and gained a lot of momentum. They got a helping hand from the infants of Arsenal last weekend, but if you ask me, that setback for Man United only delayed the inevitable.
Lets look at the possible scenarios...
Should Chelsea become the 1st team this season to win at Old Trafford, they will go top of the table, level on points with United on 73, but with a greater goal difference. Chelsea then play Newcastle at home (for an easy win I would imagine, I don't fancy Alan Pardew as a manager and Newcastle has not scored in 4 games....missing Andy Carrol much?) then the Blues travel to Goodison Park for a tough away game against a much improved Everton who are always tough to beat.
Man United's remaining games are away at Blackburn (awful to watch and asking for a real whipping) and then finish the season at home to a struggling Blackpool team. Of course this season has only but proven to be unpredictable, but look loosing at the remaining fixtures, and considering that the title may go to the team with the best goal difference, I would not bet against Man United to score their way back to the top with the form of Rooney & Chicharito. But that is of course if Man United lose...

If Man United win the game, a draw will be enough against Blackburn to reclaim their title, and the record breaking 19th trophy.

If the match is a draw, then Man United just need to win one of their 2 remaining games to win the title.


It seems as though most people are favoring Chelsea for the title now after Man United slipped up last weekend. That suites me as its nothing new. These people forget that Man United have beaten Chelsea home and away recently.


In an ideal world I would have Man United can shut that muppet John Terry up with a thumping 5-0 win, but should they draw (most likely result), I will be more than happy because I cannot see Man United throwing the title away in the 2 remaining games.



Come on Boys, we have almost made history...
