Game Over? It still ON

Ramsey scored the only goal of Arsenal's 1-0 victory over United at Emirates Stadium.

After 35 games, the championship race is still on. After the game between ManUtd and Everton last week, I thought that the title race is over. I can hardly imagine that ManUtd will lose the game against Arsenal as United was in such a good form. I thought they will at least grab a point. However, this is football. Title race is still on, at least not over yet. It will be a big boost for Ancelotti's side to see Arsenal got a 1-0 victory over United. Wales' captain, Aaron Ramsey scored a vital goal that may change the fate of Alex Ferguson's side. 

Maybe Sir Alex will now know how important Ryan Giggs is to his team. When Hernandez and Rooney cannot find their way to score at the front, Nani and Park were unable to provide supports for their front duo. Even when he decided to make some changes, not much choices on the bench for him. When Sir Alex needed a pass from the middle that can cut open the defensive line of Arsenal, he cannot find a No.10 player. No Giggs, no Scholes, no miracle. Now u know why there was rumor that United interested to make a bid for Inter Milan No.10, Wesley Snijder. 

Poor goalkeeping from Gomes, again!

In the other side, Chelsea snatched a 2-1 win or precisely, stole it from their rival, Tottenham Hotspur. Two controversial goals from Frank Lampard and Solomon Kalou helped Chelsea to cruise on. However, you have to give credit to Chelsea as they were the better team on the pitch last night. They deserved that three points anyway. Poor goalkeeping from Gomes gave Chelsea the chance to level the score at 1-1 before half time. At the last moment of the game, it was Kalou who stepped out and scored that winning goal. Ehm, the replay showed that he was offside. Whatever.... The win gave Chelsea a chance to defend their title at Old Trafford next week.

For ManUtd, after the 0-1 defeat, next week's game will be decisive one as ManUtd will host Chelsea at Old Trafford. I do not think ManUtd has great advantage over Chelsea next week physically or mentally, even they play at home. This will be a 50/50 game. The only advantage for ManUtd is, they will be the happier side even they draw the game. The remaining fixtures for ManUtd will be against Chelsea at Home, away to Blackburn and Blackpool at Home. First at all, if ManUtd grab a point next week, they should not be over optimistic. They will be playing against two teams that fight to avoid relegation. There is potential to drop points. To be realistic, they won't be losing both of the games. They may draw one of them in the worst situation. At the last, they will still crown champion at the end of this season with 78 points and Chelsea finish second with 77 points (if they win the last 2 games and get a draw at Old Trafford). If Chelsea lose against United next week, that will definitely game over for them. Here is the situation which fans (except ManUtd fans) love to see. If Chelsea beat ManUtd next week, with both team get 73 points each. The remaining fixtures for Chelsea will be Away against ManUtd, Home against Newcastle and Away to Everton. The only team that may cause trouble for Chelsea will be Everton. David Moyes will definitely loves to do a favor for his friend, Sir Alex. However, if Chelsea do beat ManUtd by next weekend, they will climb to the 1st place by goal difference. It will be interesting to see whether the title will be decided by goal difference if both teams win all the remaining 2 fixtures. 

Ancelotti's final season of Chelsea?

If Ancelotti's side lose the title race at the last. He can still keeps his chin up and tells Abramovich, 'Fuck you Roman, forget about Hiddink, Rijkaard, Guardiola! Give me transfer fund this summer, bring me the players I want and see what I can do for you next season.' He still deserves one last chance as he never really get financial support from Roman to build his team until the arrival of Fernando Torres and David Luiz. He needs a chance like his predecessors did.
