I may be tempting fate here

After the match yesterday between Manchester United and Chelsea, United have a lead of six points over their London rivals with just two games left to play. Mathematically it is possible for Chelsea to still take the League title but they would have to win both of their games and Manchester United would have to lose theirs. It would then be on goal difference that Chelsea would rob United of the trophy that they richly deserve.

We weren’t able to watch the match yesterday because none of the Spanish channels were showing it but I did follow in on the BBC website. By all accounts it was a glorious day for United who should have won by a lot more than the 2-1 score line suggested.

Winning the title this year would mean so much for United and for Ferguson. It would take them to 19 League titles, an incredible 12 for Ferguson, beating the record set by Liverpool of 18. It is just amazing to think that it took United 26 years to gain their first league title and that was in 1993. Since then they have just got better and better.

One more point is all that is needed from the next two games! C’mon you reds!

PS Get the beers in Dave for next weekend, I hope you will need them.
