The Final Frontier

What should have been a walk over victory for Manchester United 3 weeks ago has now gone down to the wire. The Defending Champions were held to a series of stalemates and the slip up at Stamford Bridge has brought back Chelsea into the contention for the title. United were leading Chelsea by 5 points but now both are on locked on to same amount of points with united sniffing ahead on goal differential. United are in this position courtesy of themselves for having led the lead slip up and allowing Chelsea to come breathing down their neck.

The draws against Boro, Spurs coupled with a poor start to the season with a series of 3 stalemates with low profile team have resulted in this nervy time. But its once again due to the number of 4-0, 4-1, 3-0 wins have put United ahead on the goal difference.

Also both are in the Champions league final in Moscow on 21st. Who ever wins the league can go with a bit of confidence over the other.

Both teams play on 11th of May with their respective opponents and if United win its all over for Chelsea. But there is catch, United play away against Wigan in JJB, where the visitors can have a torrid time because of the state of the pitch. Where as Chelsea play home against struggling Bolton aiding to the fact is that Chelsea are unbeaten for more than 100 home games.

United have shown the best attacking skill and flamboyance in the whole season and rightly deserve to retain the title. I fully support United to go and win the league...Go red devils!!!
