Ruud Winner II (Bolton 1 - Manchester United 2)

What an entertaining game! I thoroughly enjoyed this game on 2 levels.

Firstly, it was an exciting game. A game which we went a goal down and dug deep to come back to win it. Not to mention Bolton played for the win too, making it an exciting end to end game. The type of game we would all enjoy watching.

Secondly, I caught the game with Kentona and Cow, and their respective better halfs.

The icing on the cake here is that both Saha and Ruud scored, the winning goal supplied by Saha for Ruud. Maybe Fergie should contemplate playing them together more often. There was also good news elsewhere, the much hated Chelsea drew against the lowly Birmingham. Finally Birmingham decided to play soccer and gave Chelsea a tough game.

There has been talk/hope all around that we might just be able to pip Chelsea to the crown, based on how both teams have been playing and the general hatred of Chelsea all around. We're currently 7 points behind Chelsea with only 6 games left to play.

Let's be realistic. We would have to win ALL our remaining games, including one against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. And to beat a very rampant Arsenal and Spurs as well.

And assuming we do the impossible by winning all remaining games, we would still have to rely on Chelsea to at least not win 2 other times. That means Chelsea only needs 4 games in 6 games to win the title. If Chelsea were still in the Champion's League, there might be a possibility of that happening.

So you see, there is no way we're going to even get a sniff of the title this season, and using Premiership Title and Manchester United together in the same breath is just silly talk by the media. Chelsea is too far in front and the odds are too highly stacked against us. It is theirs to lose and not ours to win. I'd be delighted to eat some serious crow should the unimaginable happen, but it's not.

Just before I end here, I'd just like to say that I hate Chelsea. I've caught them play in the last few games and all I can say is that they are a bunch of whining cheats. However between them and Liverpool for the title at any point in time, I'd still pick Chelsea to win. I have too many Liverpool fans as friends and having lived through the 80s, I wouldn't want to relive that nightmare again.
