So the first all-English European Champion’s League final will see Man Utd face Chelsea in Moscow on the 21st May.  Both clubs are sitting on equal points in the English Premier League with 2 games to play.  Its going to be a fantastic climax to a great season. 

PS. If you don’t speak Russian, the title says: Come on the Reds!

Well United had one hand on the Premiership title. If only we had beaten Blackburn! In fairness, they were really up for it and I was happy to come away with a point in the end. So what does this mean for the title? It means United have a three point lead with 9 points to play for, including Chelsea (our nearest challengers) next away from home. In reality though, the fact that United have a superior goal difference means United can lose to Chelsea, win our last two games and still pick up the title, but lets not go there!  Hopefully we can get away with at least a draw on Sunday to make it really tough for Chelsea. As Middlesborough and Blackburn have shown, the matches against the so called lesser teams aren’t always a forgon conclusion. So we are going to be on the edge of our seats right until the last day.

Super Sunday has come and gone (almost) and it looks like Man Utd were the outright winners on the day. We gave our fiercest rivals a good drubbing (3-0) but it really should have been 5-0 with Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez all wasting great chances. I have to admit I wasn’t expecting such an easy afternoon agains’t Gerrard and Torres. No doubt most Pool supporters will blame the ref and the sending off but I don’t think it really mattered - they just didn’t compete and never really look like they would threaten us.

We now have a 5 point gap at the top with 7 games to play. There are some tough games ahead with Arsenal at home and Chelsea away so its too early to break open the bubbly. Arsenal have really blown it lately and Chelsea have stolen 2nd spot from under their noses. They have been quietly plugging away since Mourinio was axed and are a real threat in the run in. The game at the Bridge is going to be crucial.
