As Kingfisher rightly points out, the race is not really over.
If Arsenal and Chelsea win ALL their remaining games (max 15 points), they will both finish at 79 points and only goal difference will separate the 2, Arsenal are ahead on head to head.
However, if Arsenal and Chelsea win all their remaining games, that would mean that Man Utd would lose 2 games of the remaining 5 which would be catastrophic.
Man Utd need 10 points from the remaining 5 games to win the title with 80 points, ideally 3 wins and 1 draw will do it. I will take 3 wins against Everton, Blackburn and Blackpool and a draw and loss against either Arsenal or Chelsea (even if Chelsea are at OT).
However, that will be nerve wracking as it means waiting until the final day to win by a point.
If we can beat Arsenal at the Emirates despite our poor away form this season, after beating Everton this weekend, we'll be firmly in the driving seat. Of course if we beat Chelsea as well, I will finally relax.
So mambo bado. I only say that because I expected Man Utd to beat Newcastle and they were thwarted so assumptions have to be thrown out of the window at this stage.
However, my confidence in the team could never be higher!Glory Glory
