Drawn at Ewood Park, Title Race is officially Wide Open!

Support, champions league, fixtures, match results, other teams, players, premiership April 20th, 2008

I had the feeling that we will have a hard f*cking match at Ewood Park. I was right. But it’s obvious anyway and seems like we have a syndrom that everytime we will face a Champions League match, we play under par domestically.

I don’t even think that Reds deserve the point until Sparky decided to get his players behind their own half and depend to lone striker Jason Robert to escape from Reds’ torturers. Thanks to Carlos ‘Carlito’ Tevez, we get away with 1 ‘crucial’ point. However, as Rooney become more and more influential to the team, i think his effort to get penalty by diving, while he had the chance to get to the ball behind Blackburn defender, was TOTALLY RUBBISH! He surely did better in many occasions.

So the chance for under par season performers Chelsea to leapfrog us nextweek, just like they did to Arsenal, is at least officially diminished. But if we lose at Stamford Bridge, i do think Chelsea’s chance is bigger than us to end up with EPL silverware. Why? Because I’m still in pain to remember how The Hammers double hammered us last season and they can still do that to us this season. And don’t forget Steve Brucey’s Wigan Athletic has all they get to hold the champions to retain the title. That’s how the ugly grass at the JJB might be the perfect funeral for the champions.

However, that is a worst case scenario from hell and please don’t forget that this is a Manchester United blog goddammit! I think we can beat Chelsea at their homeground even though i will expect brutal expectation from the home crowd. If we see the remaining fixtures, i don’t see the easiest way to retain the title but to beat Chelsea and hold their points.

Furthermore, let’s just forget the ’superior’ goal difference because all we need are points. Pundit’s math is rubbish, this is Manchester United and we always do it the hard way. This season will be no different.

Heck and welfare. Come on you Reds, let’s beat Chelsea.
