As I watched the first half, I wondered whether Fergie had an eye on Wednesday'c champs league. True, like someone mentioned, United played with laxity and it proved suicidal. Now we got a midweek game and the title decider on Sunday.
However, it's still United's to lose. A win against Chelsea and its game over. A draw against Chelsea, and we'll only need one win against Blackburn or Blackpool. A loss...well, I cannot comprehend the magnitude. Consolation is, yesterday's loss brought to the fore the pathetic away form we've had. Next week we are at our fortress of Old Trafford. This will be a cracker.
From a neutral's point of view, and looking at comparisons with La Liga, I believe the EPL is proving its worth to the global masses. That things seem so near yet so far, is all clear for all to see.
It was a close one last season, it's proving so this season as well. The battle for premiership, UCL and Europa places, and relegation are still on going, with 3 games remaining. It is captivating to watch it. Hope it doesnt end suicidal.
