The table today started out like this:
1. Man Utd 34 Played 26 W 4 D 4 L 82 Pts
2. Chelsea 34 Played 24 W 7 D 3 L 79 Pts
Both teams played early games, United against Everton at Goodison Park and Chelsea at home to Bolton.
United made it hard on themselves, going behind early on an Alan Stubbs goal in the 11th minute. It took a big deflection off Michael Carrick, or else it would've been saved easily. You would expect United to come out and score first in the second half if they had any chance to win, however that was not the case. Manuel Fernandes scored a great goal 5 minutes in and things looked bad for United.
That was until the smacktard stand-in keeper for Everton dropped a simple corner at the feet of John O'Shea who poked it in and made it 2-1. A few minutes later United had another corner, this time Ronaldo got to it and headed on goal, but the ball was bouncing around the 6 yard box and eventually former Manchester United player Phil Neville knocked it into his own net trying to clear, 2-2. About 10 minutes from time, Wayne Rooney scored a good goal to give United the lead. Then he jumped up and down in front of the Everton fans kissing the badge on his shirt. That is awesome because he used to play for Everton and he once wore a shirt under his jersey that said "Once a Blue, Always a Blue" and kissed his badge frequently. Now he's at United and he pretty much slapped all of them in the face, which is awesome, because Everton fans are faggot-asses (not as bad as the other team on Merseyside). And just to seal it, Chris Eagles scored a very neat finish in stoppage time to make it 4-2. It was pretty surprising, because he's been around forever and he hasn't looked promising for at least the past 3-4 years. I actually thought he was out on loan until a week or two ago when he was in the squad for the CL game. If someone like Drogba or Rooney had scored the goal he did it would've gotten a lot more praise.
Basically it looked like United had thrown it all away, but they came back and had a phenomenal second half and showed what champions are made of.
I don't know too much about the Chelsea game, except they dropped points at home, which was unexpected and a great boost to United's title hopes. Saloman Kalou scored once and had another which I think went down as an own goal that he forced. He's pretty good, he's one of the only players I like on Chelsea. He rapes every time he comes on but faggot Mourinho won't start him. Which is good I guess, for me anyway. Kevin Davies, who I hate, scored Bolton's equalizer that cost Chelsea 2 points. I hate him a little less now.
Now, the table looks like this with 3 games to go:
1. Man Utd 35 Played 27 W 4 D 4 L 85 Pts
2. Chelsea 35 Played 24 W 8 D 3 L 80 Pts
They play each other in 2 weeks at Stamford Bridge, which probably won't mean as much as it would have if Chelsea won today. Next week Chelsea play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, which is a really tough game. Arsenal have only lost there once this season in all competitions and that was just a few weeks ago. I think they will draw 2-2.
United plays Manchester City next week, which is never an easy game seeing as it's the Manchester derby, but I think United is playing too well to lose right now, plus Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic and maybe even Gary Neville will be back. I think 3-1 United.
Later, I will write about the developments in the relegation battle, which is really heating up.
