Calm down everyone, it's not all over yet. United have a 5pt lead over Arsenal, Arsenal have a game in hand, so anything is still possible. I see people forgetting that we have a game against Charlton on Saturday, which we need 3pts from, and they aren't going to just give us the points. They could prove to be difficult, they had a good game on Saturday.
With a bit of luck United will beat Charlton on Saturday and Leeds (or Southampton if Leeds fail) will stop Arsenal beating them (otherwise they could be sucked into a real relegation problem with just 1 game left). This will take the pressure off us for the Everton game, which could also prove to be difficult.
The way I see it, Man Utd have two games left which are must wins, unless Arsenal slip up and the Everton one becomes academic. Charlton is a must. It'll put us 8pts ahead of Arsenal and really pile the pressure on them for Sunday's game.
To the Tottenham match. Was that a stressful game, or what? Once again United meet a keeper having the game of his life, as we have done on many occasions this season, who thwarted us in the 1st half when we could have been 3-0 up. Until the 70th minuite I was pulling my hair out and then Scholesy popped up to finish off another slick United move and make it 1-0.
1-0 is never comfotable viewing, and Poyet came close to levelling the score for Spurs but his header missed the target. Nervous moments. Finally, with 90mins gone, Ruud managed to beat Kasey Keller at last, and net his 40th of the season. What can you say? When was the last time a player in the top division of England netted 40+ goals in a single season?
So United picked up the required 3pts to take advantage of Arsenal's slip up against Bolton and put themselves in the driving seat in the EPL race. Just pick up a further 6pts and the title's going back to Old Trafford. Oh, and hopefully we won't pick up any injuries during the week, especially in view of there being International fixtures at this point of the season. (FIFA need to sort that out - otherwise club teams should arrange fixtures between the QFs and SFs of the World Cup, just to prove a point)
