A vital match to see Man Utd grabbed all the 3 points. |

Fergie knew that the 19th league's title is not far away. |
Congratulation to Manchester United. They are just a point away from the record breaking 19th league title. Thanks to the 'little pea' Hernandez and their skipper, Vidic, Manchester United has beaten Chelsea by 2-1 at Old Trafford. Manchester United came out to battle from the first second the game started. A mistake by David Luiz allowed Hernandez to get an one on one opportunity with Petr Cech and guess what, the 'red hot pea' scored for United just 36 sec after the game kicked off. The goal shocked the Blues. It was Man Utd who controlled the game at the first half. Good defense and effective offense. The condition got even worst for Ancelotti's side when Vidic scored a header for United at 23rd minutes. The crowd at Old Trafford went crazy.

Too little too late for the Blues. |
During the second half, I saw Chelsea tried to get back into the game by gaining more possession. However, the front trio led by Drogba, Malouda and Kalou were just disappointing. Frank Lampard did not at the top of his game as well but he still managed to score a tap-in at 68th minutes to keep the hope alive. Since then, Chelsea did not really close to score a second goal. Manchester United came out on top with a 2-1 victory and built a 6 points lead. With two games remaining in the fixtures, they just need a point from Blackpool and Blackburn to secure that 19th league's title.
Once again, I cannot help myself to admire that Korean, Park. What a game he had. He was running like a nuts on the field, causing all types of troubles for Ancelotti's side. Besides, Valencia surprised me as he teared Ashley Cole apart. Ferguson made the right decision again by selecting Valencia instead of Nani. Nani's game is no where near Valencia. This Ecuadorian's game is simple, direct and effective.
Remember the banner that Liverpool's fans showed at Anfield years ago?
[Come back and sing Ooh-Aah Cantona when you've won 18.] by Liverpool's fans.
The United's fans brought their own banner today at Old Trafford, again:
[You told us to come back when we've won 18 – we are back.] by United's fans.

Ancelotti: Don't axe me!! |
There is no doubt that Ancelotti's position has turned insecure after the defeat. Unfortunately, Mr. Ancelotti once again made a wrong selection of his squad last night. After just 45 minutes, he decided to replace Mikel for Ramires (The second half performance by the Brazilian showed that he should be the one in the starting 11 instead of that Nigerian overrated midfielder), and bring on Alex for David Luiz (David is a great player, but he was not at his best last night). Another mistake he made was to start Kalou instead of Torres. Kalou was terrible last night. He just cannot create anything for the team when he played against O'Shea or Evans. Even with the defeat, I think Ancelotti should still stay at least for one more year. I think it is the time for the Blues to make some big changes. In my opinion, some of the big dogs like Mikel, Kalou, Anelka, Malouda, Bosingwa, Ferreira, Drogba or even Essien should make way for the new blood. Ehm, I can see a long long list of names appear in my head: Neymar, Alexis Sanchez, Tiote, Wesley Sneijder, Carlos Tevez, Gareth Bale, Hulk, Falcao, De Rossi, Marik Hamsik, Mascherano....
