Forever United

Thanks to Wigan Athletic(mainly Steve Bruce) who held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, United have now extended their lead to 5 points. With 4 games left, that 5 point lead somehow looks too tough for chelsea to overcome. but football is a game full of surprises where no one can be sure till the last minute. chelsea still have a chance, a very slim chance of but it will all depend on how UNITED play in their 4 games.

Chelsea manager Avram Grant has also said that Chelsea can win the title only if they can capitalize on any bad game UNITED have. It will be important for Chelsea to keep winning and keep up the pressure on UNITED hoping that they would make some mistakes.

Having a lead of 5 points has definitely given the boys in reds and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson some confidence of retaining the title but they are also aware of the fact that the game is not yet over as can be seen from Ferguson's comments saying he is "not ready to count his chickens yet".

Though the boys in reds feel they can win both the premiership as well as the champions league they do know the importance of each and every point. The next game for United is against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park where United have known to drop points before. I hope that this time we manage to get 3 vital points from Ewood Park. With one eye firmly on the first leg of the Champions league semi-final against Barcelona at the Nou Camp, we can expect Ferguson to "rest some key players" in order to have them fresh for the clash against Barca. it would not be unusual to see Tevez as the lone striker just as in the game against Roma where Sir Alex Ferguson rested Ronaldo and Rooney to get them really fresh and fit for Arsenal.

But the match every United fan would be keen to watch is Everton vs Chelsea at Goodison Park later tonight. Chelsea will HAVE to win this game if they have to keep the pressure on United who play Blackburn on Saturday. If Chelsea loose and United win on saturday they will be 8 points ahead of Chelsea and possibly out of reach for Chelsea. Chelsea will HAVE TO WIN THE REMAINING 3 MATCHES INCLUDING THE MATCH AT STAMFORD BRIDGE AGAINST UNITED. ALL UNITED WOULD NEED IS TO GET A DRAW AND THEY COULD BE BACK-TO-BACK WINNERS YET AGAIN!!

What me and every other United fan would be hoping is for United to win back-to-back titles and the champions league title. It is for sure that United is favorites for both these titles but it would be too early to say anything as we all know at this stage, the drama is far from over and i hope there are lot more to look forward. And come the end of season i could be celebrating the double for United.
