NT...I'm from the old school of the "table does not lie" however if Chelsea do go on to win it, it will be some achievement since they've been shite for most of the season!  Chelsea have played well against the other "good" sides this season and with Rooney out MU's goal threat is somewhat blunted and as long as Chelsea don't stick the ball in their own net their other major goal threat is taken care of too ;) though i thnk Berbatov has overtaken OGs as second top scorer??  Something tells me Chelsea can sneak this 1-0 maybe....

Chelsea well worth the win. Maybe Liverpool away is the only place where they'll drop points but very impressive the last few weeks.

the Fact that chelsea got 2 chances Scored 2 goals V united one chance one goal made them  deserved winners?

as for norf piece...I think Chelsea deserve to win the league, and the most honest of United fans must look in the mirror and wonder how are they still challanging

has been nothing between both teams all season both average at best

but i'm not gonna wait for 5 games

Congrats on your title success today

Well, well, well.

Another twist in the title race! Hopefully the last.

Without blowing my own trumpet, a fair bit of my preview above was on the money, with Malouda's victory over Neville and co having a big bearing on the game. In the first half Chelsea played with a patient tempo, that United could not cope with. The second half saw a bit more aggression from the Mancs, but they created precious few chances for the champions at home.

As for the other part of my preview the ref will probably make most of the headlines tomorrow. If you recall back in 2007, the same ref officiated the same fixture, incorrectly sent off Mikel, and allowed Tevez to score after injury time had elapsed. Today he had another stinker.

In order;

The Zhirkov challange on Park- Should've been a penalty. However if you watch it from Dean's angle again it looked like a dive.
Neville on Anelka- Clear penalty.
Lampard on Berbatov- No penalty.
Malouda handball- Definately not, as it hit his chest.
Drogba goal- Offside quite easilly.
Macheda goal- Definately handled, but it would've been a tight one for the ref to see, as it happened in a crowded box at pace.

So 2 right and 4 wrong! In addition he allowed Scholes and Neville to commit several fouls before carding them, and missed one terrible tackle by Ferdinand on Malouda when he scissor swiped him. Not a good day for him!

All in all, I thought Chelsea edged the game, and maybe just about had enough in the locker to win it.

Next up is Villa in the semi final next Saturday, but I still feel the 2009-10 league roller coaster has a few corners to turn yet.
